Questions

What attorneys ask us first.

Do you use asking rents or executed leases?

Executed leases are preferred. When executed data is unavailable, we disclose the limitation and use the best available market evidence with appropriate adjustments.

Can you value the property as of the date of separation?

Yes. Retrospective appraisals are a core part of the practice, including date-of-marriage, date-of-separation, and current value analyses.

Do you testify?

Yes. Deposition and trial testimony are available, with preparation billed at the same hourly rate.

Do you handle court-appointed neutral assignments?

Yes. We can serve as a neutral expert under Evidence Code §730 when appointed by the court or stipulated by counsel.
