Artrium provides expert witness and litigation support services in matters involving high-value personal property, including fine art, antiques, decorative arts, collectibles, jewelry, and estate contents.

Our work is grounded in USPAP-compliant appraisal practice, extensive market experience, and a clear understanding of what courts and attorneys need: credible, research-based opinions that hold up under scrutiny.

• Disputed valuations in estate, divorce, and probate matters

• Charitable donation and IRS-related appraisals

• “Broad Evidence” appraisals with multi-value levels for intricate or disputed cases

• Deposition and courtroom testimony

• Support during mediation, arbitration, or settlement discussions

Court-Tested and Professional

While expert witness testimony is a specialized service, it’s built on the same principles that guide every appraisal we produce: diligence, impartiality, and clarity. Artrium owner Elizabeth Krambeer has experience being retained as an expert witness, including concise and effective deposition. She brings utmost attention to detail and professionalism to each engagement, from initial consultation to in-person testimony.
