For Attorneys and Testifying Experts

We provide a wide range of services including guidance, training, and research for valuation related issues pertaining to litigation assignments.  Whether your case involves testimony for a divorce case, a partial taking case, or a claim of diminution in value (title defect, encumbrances, breach of contract, malpractice, zoning case), we provide expert assistance for attorneys and appraisers.

Utilizing a real estate valuation expert introduces critical issues: proper appraisal methodology, state law and licensing requirements, admissibility of evidence,  record keeping rules, ethical repsonsibilities, reliance on third-party reports and opinions, regulations relating to review reports, review opinions/testimony, and rebuttal testimony.  Let us assist you in selecting the appropriate expert.

Critical information to assist you: Did you know that if there are other experts on your side (appraisers, reviewers), their testimony can be used to discredit you?  Did you know that there are court cases that establish the law regarding what is proper and admissible for a valuation expert to testify to as far as elements of damages?  We can provide you priceless information that helps you protect your license and more importantly...your reputation!

Having a dispute or an issue (presently or anticipating) involving multiple properties and property owners?  A municipal improvement, change in land use, or property value damage issue (expansion of quarry or land fill; environmental contamination, permitting an industrial warehouse development near a residential area; etc.)?  If you are part of an impacted group that needs questions answered on how property values are impacted, we are here to assist.
