Arkansas has plenty of cities and small towns that are growing rapidly, which is good news for the people who live and work in them. Unfortunately, all progress comes at a price, and eminent domain grants the government the right to condemn properties that stand in the path of capital improvements and infrastructure projects. You might not always be able to “fight city hall,” but you do have constitutional rights, and Ferstl Valuation Services is here to help you protect your interests!
We’ve been offering trusted real estate appraisals in Little Rock since 1967, and we’re also certified in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. We’re also Arkansas Bar-licensed attorneys uniquely qualified to act as real estate expert witnesses in the most technical and complex cases. The Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees your right to just compensation, and an independent appraisal is the best way to ensure that you receive a fair price for your property. And if the offer’s too low, we’ll help you get your day in court!
Government agencies have virtually unlimited resources, and you can always count on them to show up to court with a large team of high-priced attorneys. But we’ll make sure that you’re fully prepared and don’t get “outlawyered!” Expert witnesses speak only to their area of expertise as instructed and prepare reports that will be reviewed by both the plaintiff and the defendant during discovery. Our team of experts specializes in delicately and accurately preparing research, exhibits, and reports to support your case, and then explaining our findings on the stand in terms that juries can easily understand. And if you’re called to testify yourself, we can also assist you with trial and exhibit preparation to ensure you’re ready for cross-examination. We know the types of questions that you’re likely to be asked on the stand, and we’ll help you prepare your responses in advance. Just keep in mind that an expert witness cannot serve as your advocate or negotiator, but you can and should hire someone to act in that role.
If you’re looking for experts who can provide the highest level of support possible, Ferstl Valuation Services is the team you need on your side! To learn more about eminent domain or expert witness testimony in Little Rock, contact us online or at 501-375-1439.
