Expert Witness

Legal Supplements

On a regular basis I provide appraisals to various legal firms throughout the nation. I’ve been qualified as a expert witness, Superior Court, in Washington and Colorado and have provided assistance to clients appearing before Washington’s Supreme Court. I’m one of the senior Real Estate Appraisers in the State of Washington, holding the SRA designation with the Appraisal Institute, and a licensed Real Estate Agent. I have created and taught classes to Appraisers, Agents, Mortgage Brokers, Consumers and helped write and implement the laws that govern the mortgage industry. Some of the areas largest law firms hire me to provide assistance for depositions, appraisal review, strategy planning and trial preparation. I’ve lived through hours of depositions, countless times on the witness stand and attorneys, unsuccessfully, trying to find the slightest fault with my work, throughout I’ve remained calm and business like. Do you want someone like me on your side of the room or theirs?
