Appraisal Services Associates

Appraisal Services Associates is renowned for its forensic appraisals provided for Litigation Support.  Our firm can assist in the litigation process every step of the way by acting as a consultant.  Aside from the appraisal itself, we have worked with clients to help draft deposition and interrogatory questions related to appraising, art, and valuation science, we have helped provide lists for discovery, and our staff members have been admitted as expert witnesses in numerous court systems.  Appraisal Services Associates has worked for the Department of Justice, district attorneys, and prestigious law firms across the country.  

Forensic Services

The examination of works of art for insurance claim purposes is a specialty of our labs. This includes any post-loss examinations to assess the cause of damage or loss; the alteration of the materials and structure of the work(s) involved and conservation or restoration options.

 

Appraisal Services Associates can direct the scientific investigation of works of art as well. The use of the most modern equipment can be accessed through our associated facilities. This includes dating and materials analysis.  We will prepare a conservation report for your properties that will document all our research as well as any recommendations we have for further treatment, if possible.

Expert Witnessing

In weighing the expert testimony of an appraiser, the court considers the appraiser’s demonstrated qualifications to form an opinion, the appraiser’s relationship and prior dealings with the petitioner, the appraiser’s selections of comparative sales, the appraiser’s familiarity and contact with the potential market for the [subject] property, and, the appraiser’s familiarity with the contributed material.  Hiring the experienced staff of Appraisal Services Associates will ensure that your expert witness meets the qualifications, professionalism and impartiality that the court demands while providing a comprehensive, fact based appraisal.
