Family Law - Critique of an Opposing Expert:

We were approached by one of our family-law lawyer referral sources to assist with a situation in which the non-business-owner spouse needed comfort with respect to the valuation assessment prepared by the business-owning spouses’ professional valuation consultant.   At a total cost far below that which would be required to prepare a complete independent analysis from scratch, we reviewed the other experts’ report, prepared a series of questions, which were relayed to the other expert through legal counsel, and then met with the other valuator to review our questions and concerns. 

After the meeting, we were satisfied that within tolerable limits set by our client, the assessment of value of the business-owning spouses’ private corporation was reasonable and provided a solid basis with which to settle their equalization.  Our client was able to move on with the comfort (and knowledge) that she was treated fairly through this stage of settling the affairs between her and her husband.
