Expert Witness & Litigation Support in California

When a property's value is contested in court, the quality of the appraisal — and the credibility of the appraiser — matters enormously. With 22 years of experience and more than 7,000 appraisals, we provide litigation-ready reports and qualified expert testimony for matters where value is in dispute.

Litigation services

  • Expert testimony at deposition, trial, arbitration, or mediation
  • Appraisal review — analyzing an opposing appraiser's report for errors or unsupported conclusions
  • Retrospective valuations as of a separation, petition, or other relevant date
  • Clear, defensible reports built to withstand cross-examination

We support divorce, probate and estate, bankruptcy, partnership-dissolution, and other contested valuation matters. Appraisal fees are quoted per assignment; testimony, deposition, and review time are billed separately at an hourly rate. Contact us to discuss your case.

Most expert witness appraisal assignments are handled with our Basic Desktop ($299) or Desktop ($449) report; a Standard report with in-person inspection ($625) is available when the situation calls for it. Your exact fee is quoted before you commit.
