Litigation Support

Just Appraisers has worked for the U.S. Secret Service, district attorneys, and prestigious law firms across the country.
Expert Witness
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 or associates of Just Appraisers will ensure that your expert witness meets the qualifications, professionalism and impartiality that the court demands while providing a comprehensive, fact based appraisal.
Forensic
The examination of precious gems, jewelry and other objects 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.
Just Appraisers can direct the scientific investigation of gem materials and objects of art as well. The use of the most modern equipment can be accessed through our associated facilities. This includes detection of treatment, material analysis and dating. We will prepare a summary report that will document all our research including a conservation report for your properties as well as any recommendations we have for further treatment, if possible.
