When a case involves a business, professional practice, farm or ranch, investment portfolio, trust, premarital asset, inheritance, or disputed income, forensic accountants can help trace funds, value complex property, analyze appreciation, evaluate goodwill, and clarify income for support. Careful financial evidence can make a meaningful difference in settlement, mediation, and trial preparation.
