Law Offices Of P. Sterling Kerr, P.C.

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!

I had the BEST experience with Sterling Kerr's law firm. From the beginning he was easy to talk with, understood my situation and explained everything in depth about my real estate dispute. I'd like to say that if I am ever in need of a lawyer in the future , I will certainly use this law firm again, hands down. I got the best possible favorable outcome and am more than happy with their services. The firm is extremely knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate law, I could have lost if I didn't hire them. I would highly recommend Sterling Kerr and his law firm.

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.

My mother passed away in 2011 and my father passed away on April 2 of this year. My father assumed he had his affairs in order for his passing as he had a Deed Upon Death for his house prepared and recorded in 2012. We had the affidavit for the Deed Upon Death drawn up after my dad’s death and recorded. The deed of the house was then placed in my name and my husband’s name, jointly. When the estate attorney prepared the affidavit after my dad's death, we were informed that title companies in Nevada require an 18 month waiting period after an estate transfer, and that we would not be able to sell OUR property for 18 months. They suggested we contact a real estate attorney for direction. According to your website, you are real estate attorneys and have been for MANY years in Nevada. We called and talked to Taylor Simpson. You KNEW that no title company would insure this property for 18 months and Taylor should have been up front with us at our first phone call consult and told us he could not help us – instead of taking my dad’s money. He did nothing for us as we already knew we would probably have to wait 18 months....and so did Taylor, but he was deceptive and said he would "see" if he could find a title company. Bull....he heard that we were from Wisconsin and had never heard of this “unwritten law” and he KNEW that no title company would insure the property, BUT he took our money anyway. Easiest $1,500 he has ever made! I feel betrayed and it just heaps on more stress to an already stressful situation. I see that you are also business attorneys who are experienced in “deceptive or unfair business practices”. I find this action exactly this!! I’m appalled and sad at how we were taken advantage of. We were vulnerable and Taylor knew that. I’m upset and for lack of a more professional statement, it is just not fair. Shame on Taylor and shame on you for allowing it to happen in your firm. We expected some fee, but we never expected him to claim the entire $1,500. Also, before I wrote this review, I wrote to Mr. Kerr regarding this situation and my letter was ignored. Not even a response. Do not use this company. Very uncaring and deceptive.
