Mr Kerr and Melissa are very professional and so great at what they do and that’s helping people in need. Mr Kerr started working my workers comp case in 2016 and just recently settled the case. He worked 2 years everyday and never asked for a dime. He and Melissa are two of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life. There was never a time when I needed to talk or had a issue that they didn’t help me out and made things better for me and my family. I feel like mr Kerr and Melissa are part of my family because they worked and cared for me like family would. I will never be able to tell them or express how much they helped me and my family out over the last two years. If I ever needed a lawyer again there is no way in the world I would use anyone but mr Kerr. One of the biggest things over the 2 years they helped me was the fact they always made sure I for what I needed and they protected me and my family. They r two of the most special people on the world just simply because they never stopped believing and working for me and I thank them so much for all the hard work. My family and me are in a much better place thanks to their hard work and dedication. In my opinion there is no way that there is a better law firm than Mr Kerr.

I can’t begin to say how helpful Jay Kerr and his firm has been to me during a very difficult time. I had previously been to a large law firm in Asheville that handled my workers comp for over a year. I was forgotten and made to feel as if I was nothing more than a number. When a friend told me about Jay, I called immediately. I had more information about my case in 15 minutes after speaking to Melissa, Jays assistant, than I had gotten in the year and a half with that huge firm in Asheville. After meeting Jay, he ask me what I wanted to do, not what he wanted me to do. He gave me my options in great detail and walked me through the steps and time frame that we would face together. The outcome was better than I expected and his firm continues to keep in touch. Jay Kerr’s Law Firm is about helping the true victim in his cases!

Choosing Jay , Melissa and Lisa to represent me in my workers comp case was a great decision. They always kept my best interest in mind and made sure that I understood the legalities in plain English. I'm not sure how things may have turned out. I would recommend Jay Kerr Law to any one who needs legal help.

Jay and Melissa were awesome! They always returned my phone calls and emails very promptly, fought for every cent, and ended up getting me an excellent settlement! When my injury occurred I had no idea what was going to happen for me financially and knew almost nothing about workers compensation. Jay was very patient in explaining the whole process to me and gave me piece of mind when I had a lot of uncertainty in my life.

Thank You!

Jay and Lisa were patient and very clear in their explanations regarding the ins and outs of our options when we got into a car accident. They made sure we fully understood everything that was happening and really took over the heavy lifting of managing our communications with medical providers, insurance companies, and other interested parties, so we could fully focus on recovery without any added stress.

It was clear they put a great deal of work into preparing an initial settlement offering that was fair and could be accepted by the insurance company without significant back and forth. If you’re looking for an attorney who (and whose team) will do everything in their power to obtain fair settlement without you having to stress or worry about the details, I highly recommend the services of Jay Kerr Law!

I called Mr. Kerr this morning mistakingly thinking he specialized in wills and estates. He was extremely helpful and gave me some referrals since his expertise is in personal injury and wrongful death. Thank you, Jay Kerr, for your positive and helpful manner. Should I ever need his services, I know exactly who to call.

I am so pleased with the service I received from this office , everyone is so nice and Mr Kerr didn't talk above my understanding, everything was well explained, Miss Lisa is just precious, if you NEED a good Lawyer he is the one for you , I hope I never need another Lawyer but if I do I most definitely will be back

Where should I start. Jay Kerr Law is hands down the best workers comp lawyer in town and in my opinion western NC if not the whole state. Him and his staff truly care for you as a person and not just a client. He's not there to just make a buck. His best interest is you. He puts in the time and I mean time in your case. He is very honest and up front about everything. Good or bad. He has all his Ts crossed and Is dotted. He is a family man and I would recommend him any time. He makes you feel comfortableI and my doing so I can honestly say that I consider him a friend and not just my attorney. If you are in need of a workers comp attorney I highly recommend Jay Kerr Law 200%.

Jay Kerr took my aunt's case when other attorneys wouldn't even meet with us. He went above and beyond and really fought for her. We thank the Lord that we found him and we think the world of Melissa Truitt. They both worked very hard.

What a wonderful attorney, and team! Jay, Melissa and Lisa were the best in a workers comp case that I had been dealing with and quite nervous about. However, Jay took the time to listen to me and my concerns, was willing to work with me on any questions I might have, and calmed my nerves from the day I met with him! Melissa was always keeping me informed of all events (as well as Jay emailing me when he had a question!), also making sure that I was comfortable in any meeting there! She was so comforting in making me at ease! Lisa was a dear by helping me out when Jay or Melissa might be out of the office at the time I dropped by! PLEASE retain Jay Kerr for any cases you might have, because I, for one, can state right here and now, he was the ONLY attorney in Asheville to take a chance on me, and help me settle my case! Thank you Jay and team for a wonderful experience from a very stressful situation! I will ALWAYS recommend you, and look forward in the future!

Very professional with advice and an offer to further advise me as my dealings with a insurance company became more complex.
I truly appreciate the time and effort spent with me and the compassion for my daughters auto wreck and injuries --thank you!

Jay Kerr, and his staff, Melissa and Lisa are absolutely fantastic. They are extremely qualified to handle any bodily injury case and I have no hesitation in recommending their services. You can trust that you are in good hands.

I had an accident at work, All wanted was just for them to take care of my knee. after about a year Mission Health just pretty well kicked me to the curve. I seen a few Attorneys all they wanted was money.. I went to Jay Kerr Law firm He was straight forward and concerned, we never talked about Money! He was more interested in my knee and got me the medical treatment I needed.. He and his staff were VERY Professional Himself and Melissa really took care of me, They really went to bat for me.. I would ABSOLUTY Refer his Firm to anyone!! He and his staff are awesome!! I would never go to another Attorney.....Thank you Jay and Melissa, I could have never got the help with out you!! Thank you so much, Words cant express how grateful I am... Thank you

Mr. Kerr and his entire staff were extremely helpful in my worker's comp case. Mr. Kerr made sure that I was informed on every single decision made. Not fully understanding Worker's Comp I am so grateful that I went to Mr. Kerr for legal advice because he worked to get me 2 1/2 times what I was offered. Thanks again for a job well done.

I can't thank Jay Kerr enough for guiding me through this complicated process of workman's compensation. His honest evaluation of my situation and kind attitude gave me the confidence I needed to proceed with my case. There is no doubt in my mind that my former employer would have dismissed me with nothing, had it not been for his intervention. Closure in this case gives me financial security and the dignity of leaving on my own terms.

He didn't call me back after I was rear ended by a bus right near his office. I immediately googled personal injury attorney and he was less than a half mile away from the scene of the accident! Never called me back!

My husband sustained a brain injury in the line of duty as a North Carolina State Trooper and we were struggling terribly through the workers compensation process...then Jay Kerr took over. Life improved immediately. Jay Kerr does exactly what he says he will do, when he says he will do it. He was and still is always available for us when we need him and he and his wonderful staff are very prompt in returning all phone calls and emails. We were no longer alone in a very difficult process and he was able to resolve our issues in a very difficult case. I don't know where we would be today without him. You can trust Jay Kerr Law to take care of you and your family. He worked tirelessly and stood up for my husband when my husband, due to his injuries, could no longer stand up for himself. I highly recommend Jay Kerr Law. I can't say enough about how Jay Kerr stepped in to represent us, in a very difficult time in our lives, and Jay Kerr Law made the difference!

Spent a lot of time trying to get Mr. Kerr on the phone, but he would never return my call. The receptionist finally referred me to another lawyer who didn't show up for our scheduled meeting. Very unprofessional.
*Responding to your response: My case is definitely within your specialty. I was injured in a car accident. Your receptionist referred me to Brian Elston because you were supposedly too busy. I believe my case just wasn't worth enough money to warrant a return call. Mr. Elston, who now works in your office, did not show up for our first meeting.

WOW!!!! This is a clear, concise and interesting site that really gets across to John Q. Public exactly what y'all do! I am really impressed. One question...who is the skinny person in the left corner of the conference room? You didn't introduce him/her...

Jay, you represented Susan and me in 3 cases and we could't be more pleased with the results. Many thanks to you, Melissa and Lisa for all the hard work you three put into our complex cases. If anything else traumatic happens to either one of us, you will be the first people I call for help. And I so proud to call you three my friends.
