Why Expert Testimony Matters

State regulatory agencies must uphold Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) compliance, protect public interests, and maintain the integrity of the appraisal profession. When enforcement actions arise, expert testimony plays a critical role in ensuring fair and well-supported case resolutions.

Common Challenges in Enforcement Proceedings:

Understanding whether an appraisal, appraisal review, or workfile complies with USPAP and applicable state/federal laws
Evaluating potential bias, negligence, or incompetence in appraisal reports
Providing clear and concise analysis for board members, administrative law judges, and other stakeholders
Defending enforcement decisions in appellate reviews or litigation
Supporting mitigation or aggravation assessments in disciplinary actions

Badger Compliance Examiners addresses these challenges with independent, fact-based, and professionally documented testimony that withstands scrutiny.
