Expert Witness and Litigation Valuation

Attorneys retain us when value is in dispute: eminent domain and right-of-way takings, property tax appeals, and partnership and estate disputes. Our designated appraisers develop independent opinions built to withstand cross-examination, and testify to them in deposition and at trial.

  • Early analysis under your direction, before any report is prepared or disclosed, to test the theory of value and the weaknesses on both sides.

  • USPAP-compliant appraisals and valuations written for the record, with every adjustment supported and every assumption stated.

  • Critiques of opposing appraisals that identify where the methodology, data or conclusions do not hold.

  • Clear, defensible testimony before juries, judges, commissions and boards, from the appraiser who prepared the opinion.

DISCUSS A PROJECT

We develop the value from the evidence and defend it under cross-examination. Independence makes an opinion credible to a judge, a jury or a commission, and USPAP requires it.

Every opinion is signed by a designated appraiser who will testify to it.

Full and partial takings, before-and-after analysis, severance damages, special benefits, and permanent and temporary easements.
