He answered every one of my E-mail questions, recommended an appraiser for me, sent me copies of the jury instructions and law regarding DV and generally continued to advise me all the way through a very difficult and arduous procedure.

“Fortunate to find Kerr & Sheldon. I had a diminished value case from an accident that was not my fault. The at fault insurance said they would not pay diminished value. I called many firms and no one would take the case. Finally I was referred to Russel Kerr, who was well versed in this type of case and was able to get the insurance company to settle for an acceptable amount. I would highly recommend using Kerr & Sheldon for your legal needs! I appreciate all the help.”
