The Law Offices of P. Sterling Kerr

I would give this form no stars if I could. My father passed away in July 2020 who had several properties!!!! Probate in NJ took one month, probate in Florida took 2 months, so far probate in Nevada one year and half and it still is not done. We get no return phone calls, no updates, but he got $5,000 of our money. My niece, who is a lawyer in NJ, has been trying over and over to contact them to get an update - there is not even a professional return courtesy call!!! Next step - file a complaint with the State Bar of Nevada

We spoke to Austin and he was pleasant and welcoming from the start. He listened to us and provided needed advice and we left feeling optimistic. We will definitely use Kerr Simpson should we need to hire an attorney in the future!

Attention Real Estate Investors: I felt obligated to write this review for any fellow Nevadan investor considering the firm. Now I can’t speak for the entire firm. I worked specifically with Taylor Simpson. He was referred by a very talented and trusted associate in real estate, so I didn’t bother reading any reviews prior to visiting the office. In any event, I gave 2 stars because he’s appears to be a nice and competent lawyer. I have to assume his morals, workload or maybe laziness prevented him from doing his job in my case. During our initial consultation he listened patiently and although it took an hour long dialogue to get on the same page, I left confident that he completely understood my request. He charged a flat fee, which I thought included 3 documents. I found it reasonable, given the time we spent discussing the documents I needed updated. I took a photo of what was discussed and the documents to be delivered. It wasn’t that I didn’t trust him, I just don’t have the best memory and wanted to make sure I recalled what was discussed. I paid upfront…a mistake on my part….keep reading.. I was told it was 3 hours worth of work and I could expect the updated contracts and addendum in a week. 3 weeks passed and I had a property under contract that would use this specific deal structure, so I gave the office a call for an update. I called the front desk clerk 3 times that week and she was always polite and tried to get Mr. Simpson on the phone. She also explained he was out with COVID. Not to be callous, but I don’t see how that stops a young, healthy lad like him from reviewing a contract. I didn’t say this, but it was what I was thinking. In any event, another week and a half passed. Note: If you’re tracking this was about 5 weeks after I sat down with him for 2 documents to be updated and one created. All of which was supposed to take 3 hours, as stated by Mr. Taylor. Back to the story….now I finally got the paperwork back and nothing in the document really changed. It was effectively reformatted and a bunch of clauses added to protect the other party. He claimed that a few were intended to protect my interest, but were already included in the original document with different verbiage. When questioned on all the paragraphs added to protect the other party….crickets….literally no response….. I asked whether a clause could be added and is enforceable in Nevada, since he apparently was too busy to respond….again…crickets…. I called the front desk….she was very polite as usual…told me he had just left for lunch and would get back to me……again…you guessed it crickets….. So I paid Mr. Simpson above $999 to review documents and got a document that only protected the other party with no further explanation….I wont give the exact amount because I’m sure they’re rates will change with inflation running so hot…. My point is….Mr. Simpson…although seemingly intelligent and polite….either allows his morals to get in the way of doing his job….is unable to be fully transparent with his clients….is unable to have an honest dialogue….is uncomfortable with challenges via email…or just takes your money and chooses not to deliver…if you’re not a big ticket case…either way its not good for the typical real estate investor….Had I been a guy discussing a 100+ units, he may have handled it differently…money always talks in this town…but who knows….. Maybe be cautious and work with the firm when you have a very expensive case….and never pay the entire amount upfront…ask me how I know….Happy Investing.
