Business Valuation
Whether you are buying or selling a business, engaged in pending litigation, or need a valuation for tax or financing purposes, we can help guide you through the many challenges or opportunities that drive the need for a business valuation. Just as all types of our work at The Doty Group begin with the development of a deep understanding of a client’s business, so do our valuations. We build upon that understanding with passion and precision to create a quality result which we can also set up to defend in trial as expert witnesses.

Forensic Accounting
Cases over missing money and suspected fraud can be won or lost by the accounting and finance experts that have been chosen to investigate and testify.

Our team helps to reduce the impact of a dispute on our clients by applying our specialized skills, experience, and resources to data analytics and client-specific goals, budget, and requirements of the court.

Economic Loss Calculations
Our loss calculations include only the quantifiable losses - lost profits, lost fringe benefits and loss in household services. Our reports do not include hedonic damages which are intangible damages - lost love and affection, lost quality of life, pain and suffering, etc., as these are damages that are typically awarded, if appropriate, by a judge or jury. We have testified a number of times in personal and business economic loss cases nationwide both in Superior and Federal Courts.
Business economic loss claims typically result from:
violation of non-compete agreements
fire damages
theft loss
easement issues related to access
unfulfilled contracts
Personal economic losses typically result from
auto accidents
medical malpractice cases
discrimination
wrongful termination
wrongful death matters.
“Shelly and Nic did a topnotch job! We were facing a huge lawsuit. Their report helped to minimize the damages, it was clear and made sense.”
