“As a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, I have been involved with many valuation experts and read many books and treatises on valuations of business interests in the family law arena. Ron and Kev have accomplished what, in my view, is the single most important goal that every valuation expert should have: They have managed to simplify—for judges and attorneys both a subject that is complex and can easily be confusing. Many valuation experts have failed, in writing their reports or in their expert testimony, by being too complex, too esoteric, and maybe even a bit condescending. Nothing is worse than the expert who makes a judge feel threatened or uneducated. They are a lawyer’s worst nightmare. Ron and Kev have solved this challenge brilliantly—this is a wonderful, clear, understandable, and functional guide that makes the difficult easier, the complex more simple, and the mysterious more clear. This is a must-read guide for every family lawyer and every judge. I particularly liked the chapter on critiquing a business valuation report—it is a gold mine for family lawyers. Once you have read this guide, your next trial will be better—the issues will be more clearly presented, and the judicial officer will be thanking you (even if he or she doesn’t say so)”
