E & O first. Hope they get a good administrative lawyer. No time to be cheap. Your career is on the line.
 
Some retired lawyers do pro bono work check with the local bar association

Pro Bono are for mostly people who are low income and who are fighting say land lord issues or small claims types of incidents. Never heard of any taking defense cases for appraisers who are licensed and certified professionals. Anything is possible but I would not hold my breath.
 
OP - Hello, thank you for all your advice. It is not for me, for an appraiser that does not have insurance, and for a private report.

Oooops, why would anyone think because they are doing "private work", they don't need E&O Insurance????

Your E&O most likely has an Attorney who is well versed on real Property Appraisals. So if this legal Advice your seeking and is related to your Appraisal Practice aka an assignment? It's very important to contact them asap. What ever problem it is keep your mouth shut let that person do all the talking.


Yeah, and they can hook up with somebody local to help. Very good advice to contact E&O first.

Didn't think about that.
 
Could probably still call a E&O company and get a referral for a local lawyer. Need someone that specializes in real property law.
