The Philosophy of Dozier Appraisal Company is to provide thoroughly, objective valuation analysis of real property interest and closely-held companies. The firm accepts many of its valuation assignments by stipulation of the parties to a legal proceeding in which the value of real property or business interests are at issue. Appraisals prepared by Dozier Appraisal Company have been successfully defended in the courts many times.

Community Property Matters

The valuation of a going business or professional practice in a community property division is a complicated process requiring a broad-based knowledge of the laws pertaining to community property business valuations.  Although Dozier Appraisal Company does not render legal services, the firm has significant expertise in community property assignments, including the valuation of non-salable professional goodwill and calculations relating to the allocation of business appreciation between community and separate property (Pereira and Van Camp analysis).

Eminent Domain Matters

Dozier Appraisal Company has extensive experience in just Compensation estimates for public takings of private property interests.  One of the most critical factors in determining the taking’s “before” and “after” market value is the estimation of “what is the Larger Parcel”? Damages to the remainder due to a partial taking can be significant.  Consequently, it is critical that the “Larger Parcel” be accurately determined.  Dozier Appraisal Company can be instrumental in providing legal counsel consultation in review of opposition’s appraisal; suggested line of questioning in valuation matters regarding depositions and trials; and a fair and though explanation of all influences that impact market value.  

Litigation Consulting Services

Dozier Appraisal Company provides a full spectrum of litigation support services to the legal community.  The firm’s area of expertise includes evaluation of economic damage resulting from business torts, breach of contract, personal injury, wrongful termination and other causes of action.  Litigation support services range from document review and preliminary damage calculations to complete financial analysis and research culminating in a formal, written report or expert testimony.
