An Expert Witness Who Speaks the Language of Litigation
When real property is at the center of a dispute, value is often the question that decides the outcome. Courts, arbitrators, and attorneys will test every assumption behind that number. They may also challenge the credentials of the appraiser witness. Valbridge Property Advisors provides litigation support by providing written appraisals and hourly consulting.
Our MAI-designated appraisers bring both expertise and courtroom experience to matters ranging from construction defects, title claims, marital dissolution, partnership disputes, and eminent domain.
As a national commercial appraisal firm with local market knowledge in every office, we can support your case wherever the property is located. As an independent commercial appraiser, we advocate for our analysis, never for a party. That independence is what gives our opinions their weight.
