What People Say About Us

Michael and Rick are great to work with. They handled a complicated valuation of equity and profits interests for me under a tight mediation deadline. Part of this work involved explaining the reasoning and concepts supporting their conclusions as to value. They translated with ease to those without a background in this area and communicated just as easily with those who share a similar background. Michael and his team are incredibly professional, knowledgeable, well-prepared, and their demeanor and communication skills translate to any audience, including juries. Michael and his team are my first choice for any similar assignment.

What a pleasure it's been working with Michael in connection with several very complicated valuations tied to a 9-figure Estate on which I'm the Trustee.  This included going head-to-head with the IRS's big gun appraisers who were challenging values tied to certain of our properties.  Michael was very professional, knowledgeable, well-prepared, and spoke with a confident grasp of the foundational metrics upon which the math more easily followed.  I have no doubt that he was respected by the Auditor, as well as, other members of our legal and operations team who deferred greatly to Michael's expertise.  It is without hesitation that I would engage him again for another like assignment.

"At the IRS, I reviewed thousands of valuation appraisals and found many of them poorly done, containing errors, omissions and inconsistencies.  I  know how to produce solid, credible and defensible appraisals."
"We have created a unique opportunity by partnering my extensive IRS experience with seasoned private practice business and valuation industry specialists, resulting in a rarely matched valuation perspective."
