Expert Real Estate Valuation and Witness Testimony: A testifying real estate expert must not possess the skills necessary to develop credible opinions they must be able to convey those opinions in way the Judge and/or Jury can understand. The first hurdle faced by any expert witness is the qualification process. An expert’s education, training and experience are examined in determining if they will be allowed to testify and they weight their testimony is given. Each of our real estate experts have completed hundreds of hours of professional training, completed thousands of real estate valuation assignment for a variety of clients and uses and hold the most prestigious, professional real estate appraisal designations. Our experts have been qualified in multiple Louisiana District Courts providing testimony in the fields of general real estate, real estate valuation, appraisal review and in valuation for eminent domain purpose. Consulting Experts: The role of the consulting expert is different than that of the testifying expert. As non-testifying experts, we are able to assist the attorney in understanding the complexities and nuances of the real estate valuation process. We may help to investigating the facts of a case; research the technical issues involved; and assist in case presentation. All communications between the attorney and a consulting expert are covered by the attorney client privilege, and the attorney is free to discuss trial strategy issues with a consulting expert.
