Consulting & Mediation

An expert witness surveyor is valuable in legal disputes involving property boundaries, easements, encroachments, or adverse possession claims. We can review survey evidence, explain technical surveying procedures to judges and juries, and provide professional opinions on boundary locations. Our testimony has been used in cases throughout Central Oregon courts.

In mediation, we serve as a neutral party to help neighbors understand the surveying evidence and find a mutually agreeable solution. We explain the technical aspects in plain language, present options for resolution, and help facilitate discussions. Mediation is typically faster, less expensive, and less adversarial than litigation, and it often preserves neighborly relationships.

Yes, we regularly provide peer review services for surveys performed by other surveyors. We can evaluate the methodology used, verify calculations, check compliance with Oregon surveying standards, and identify any potential issues. This is particularly useful when you need an independent second opinion or when a survey's accuracy is questioned in a legal proceeding.
