We Help Law Firms
The valuation experts behind the verdict.
Auto valuation disputes are the claims lawyers avoid — too small to litigate, too technical to wing. We give firms both answers: certified, exhibit-ready appraisals for the cases you take, and a trusted referral path for the ones you can’t.
How We Work With Counsel
Three ways ACS strengthens your practice
Evidence-grade valuations
USPAP-conforming certified appraisals from the country's most expert vehicle appraisal firms — documented comparables, defensible methodology, ready for demand letters, mediation, or trial.
The appraisal-clause alternative
Most value disputes don't need a lawsuit. Invoking the policy's appraisal clause resolves them faster and cheaper than litigation — and the award is binding. We run that process end to end.
A home for the claims you can't take
Auto valuation disputes are usually too small for a firm to work profitably — that's why lawyers avoid them. Refer them to us: your client gets a real advocate, and you stay their hero.
Proven In Court
$248,517 — Collins v. State Farm
When a Rusk County jury found State Farm had knowingly engaged in unfair and deceptive practices, the case was built on the kind of valuation documentation ACS produces every day — and on testimony before the Texas legislature that helped make binding appraisal the law of the state.

Why would a law firm work with a public insurance adjuster?
Because vehicle valuation disputes are an area most lawyers avoid — the amounts rarely justify litigation economics. A licensed public adjuster can resolve them through the policy's appraisal clause instead: faster, cheaper, and binding. Your client gets made whole, and your firm keeps the relationship.
Can ACS support an active case?
Yes. We establish true Actual Cash Value and diminished value through certified, USPAP-conforming appraisals with documented comparables — the kind of valuation evidence that stands up in demand letters, mediation, and court. Jury verdicts like Collins v. State Farm were built on exactly this kind of documentation.
How does the referral relationship work?
Simple and unbundled: refer the valuation dispute, we work it as public adjusters representing the insured, and your firm stays counsel of record for everything legal. Contact us and we'll walk through the fit for your practice.
