Significant Cases

Over the years our valuation and damages opinions have been accepted by courts
across the country. Some of these opinions have shaped case law. We find these
complex, sometimes ground-breaking cases to be our most engaging work.

The Griffing Group has provided expert witness trial testimony
in many cases, including the following. We have included links
to PDF files of the court's rulings in four of these cases.
