Our valuation and litigation services team is highly trained, nationally accredited and experienced. Our professionals have been qualified as experts in Federal courts and numerous county courts throughout Ohio. We've honed our skills in the courtroom and in the classroom through formal training in trial and deposition testimony. We have prepared hundreds of valuations in a wide range of industries.

Whether it's a written report, expert testimony, or one-on-one with a client, we know how to present complex financial and accounting issues to non-accountants in a clear, concise, understandable manner.

Our professional team has held the position of President of the Southern Ohio Chapter of the National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts (NACVA) for the past ten years. In addition, we have held various seats on the NACVA Board at the national level. This experience combined with our continuing education and speaking engagements keeps us on the cutting edge of case law developments and court rulings, techniques, and other changes in the valuation and litigation support professions.
