We also assist in providing blockage discount appraisals for artist's estates and large collections. We listen very carefully to the needs of our clients, providing a scope of work that can range from a simple consultation to an inspection, summary report, self contained report and testimony. Extensive experience in expert witnessing results in great success equally for both plaintiffs as well as defendents. Frequently both sides stipulate to our reports.
