Avoid!

I hired Mr. Kerr to represent me at an unemployment hearing. His paralegal Gloria Fryer was so rude and unprofessional when I visited their office that it's difficult to believe she is in the business of helping people. Attorney Kerr was more personable, but he also solicited me to file a suit agains...t my former employer that was completely unrelated to the hearing I hired him for. We made a deal for $400 up front to get that separate suit that he suggested started (since my case weakened with each passing day). And an additional $600 over the course of the suit. I paid him the $400 on July 12, 2018 and he in turn promised to file my suit the following week. Over 3 months have passed and no suit was filed, no work performed. He just kept my money and never filed the suit as he promised and neither he or his assistant Gloria Fryer returned any of my phone calls for over six weeks. He clearly just kept my money and abandon me. I turned to Mr. Kerr when I was in a time of need with my livelihood and he took advantage of me. He told me in his office that he cared, and I believed him. Mr. Kerr owes me an explanation, an apology and a refund. If you need representation don't make the same mistake I made of blindly trusting someone. Do some back round checking first. Start with the disciplinary board. Had I done this I would have discovered that Mr. Kerr has a lengthy dubious history that dates back to the early 1980's that includes disbarment and incarceration.

John M. Kerr is a LAZY Lawyer

He is LAZY..He TALKS A GOOD GAME..but does very little for you..Always has a excuse for NOT keeping in touch with the client OR not getting the job done. Mr Kerr Prefers to take the easy way out of the case If he Has to do some work and actually go to court He is not happy about it. i had to brin...g my paper work to him 4 times, because He KEPT LOSING IT. ...This guy needs to be investigated by the BAR.
