“I have worked with both Tom and J. T. Ferstl in numerous eminent domain cases over the last decade. Their dedication to their craft and to providing clients with a fair and defensible appraisal is second to none in my experience. They have also been invaluable in evaluating cases and the expert reports provided by the opposing parties. Without hesitation, I would recommend both Tom and J. T. and their staff of appraisers to anyone in need of such services both in and out of a litigation setting.”

“Please accept my thanks for the brilliant assistance you gave on relatively short notice. Your ability to testify concerning an analysis of the two appraisals, particularly pointing out the serious flaws in the landowners’ appraisal, was the turning point of the trial. Giving understandable answers in layman’s terms is an extraordinary talent that many expert witnesses do not have. In short, you were believable and that is what makes an expert witness a real expert witness.”

John P. Gill, Attorney, Gill, Ragon, Owen, P.A.

“In the 20 years I have been practicing law and using expert testimony, I have never written a thank you letter to one of my expert witnesses. However, in this case I wanted to express to you how grateful I am for your outstanding appraisal, trial testimony, and help in preparing for this trial against the City of Little Rock. At trial on direct examination your knowledge of the subject matter as well as your confidence in your testimony was obviously the reason the jury completely ignored the expert’s appraisal for the City and awarded my client the damages to which you testified he was entitled.”

Harry McDermott, III, Attorney at Law
