Insurance and Legal Testimony

Expert Testimony for Insurance and Legal Matters

Classic, vintage, collectible, and antique vehicles often carry significant financial and historical value — and when questions of value arise in insurance claims, legal disputes, or estate settlements, a credible expert can make all the difference.

As an experienced and independent appraiser, I offer professional testimony and certified documentation to support vehicle owners, insurance providers, and legal professionals.

🛡️ Insurance Claim Support

In the unfortunate event of a theft, total loss, damage claim, or coverage dispute, an accurate and professionally prepared appraisal can protect the owner’s interests.

I provide:

  • Certified valuation reports that meet insurer standards

  • Detailed photographic documentation of the vehicle’s condition at time of appraisal

  • Market-based comparable analysis to establish fair value

  • Expert explanation of how value is determined and why

When required, I can work directly with insurance adjusters or legal representatives to provide clear, factual support for claim resolution.


⚖️ Legal Testimony & Valuation Opinions

Classic vehicles frequently appear in legal contexts — from estate divisions and divorces to asset settlements, disputes, or fraud investigations.

I can provide:

  • Independent expert opinion reports for use in legal proceedings

  • Valuation of individual vehicles or entire collections

  • Documentation suitable for court or mediation settings

  • In-person or virtual testimony to explain and defend the methodology behind the appraisal

Because I am not tied to any dealership, auction house, or insurer, my testimony remains objective, evidence-based, and defensible.


📜 Why This Matters
  • A professional appraisal provides legal and financial clarity.

  • It protects owners and heirs from underpayment, disputes, or undervaluation.

  • It helps insurance companies and legal teams resolve matters faster with confidence.

  • It ensures that the true market value of a classic, vintage, or collectible automobile is recognized and respected.


A Trusted, Professional Voice in the Collector Car World

With years of specialized experience in classic and vintage vehicle valuation, I understand both the passion behind the cars and the precision required in legal and insurance matters.

Whether you’re an owner, executor, lawyer, or insurance representative, I can provide clear, credible, and defensible expert support to protect the value of the vehicle in question.
