Scott Williams is the appraiser of choice for presenting effective expert testimony to judicial or quasi-judicial bodies. Clear and confident testimony is based on a deep knowledge and understanding of local market forces. Evidence is solidly supported by forensic research of the issues and thorough preparation.
Experience includes testimony at over 50 trials and hearings, ranging from highway condemnation (for both condemnors and property owners), to divorce and family disputes and cases involving the current and potential highest and best use of property. Scott Williams has qualified as a real estate expert in many venues. A number of large projects have been completed.
Scott Williams is an expert in the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) having been engaged by the Wisconsin Department of Regulation and Licensing to provide USPAP reviews in discipline cases involving licensed and certified appraisers.
