Knowledgeable Massachusetts appraisal negligence attorneys can help
If you are served notice, do not hesitate, do the following and then call us at 617.720.0332 or contact our firm online to schedule an appointment.

1. Note time, date, and method that you were served.
2. Read the complaint and understand the charges. Make a copy of the complaint.
3. Review the work-file, organize the material relating to the complaint, retain everything relating to the appraisal, and do not change anything.
4. Do not talk to the plaintiff or licensing board representative. There is no Miranda warning with civil complaint and once a lawsuit is filed or a complaint served, you are in an adversarial situation. Anything you say can and likely will, be used against you.
5. When you see the words negligence, fraud, grossly overstated value…do not take the complaint personally or unleash Mongo, your inner beast, put your energies into helping us build a defense.

If you have E&O be aware the insurance company may issue a reservation of rights letter that raises all possible defenses to coverage. You should have your own attorney to protect your interest.

Know that lawsuits are a fact of business life. Relax, gather the facts and call us. If you have an attorney or your friend is an attorney or your E&O provides an attorney, you should consider engaging Durkin Law to add to your defense.
