Services

Dr. Kenneth E. Lehrer offers the following services:

- Business Valuations

Valuations - Business / Pubic and Non Public Company / ESOP – Reports are prepared on a flat fee basis depending upon the size / nature of the organization being valued. For a solo medical practice the flat fee is $5,000 and for a group of physicians the fee is negotiated. Other valuation reports range from ($15,000 - $25,000) and are structured for the business owners to utilize for loans, estate or gift tax purposes or corporate planning.

- Fairness Opinions

Fairness Opinions and the data and reports supporting them are created or structured to allow those with fiduciary responsibility to both fulfill and discharge that responsibility and comply with a wide variety of rules. This includes such rules as the Business Judgment Rule, Due Diligence Analysis and similar rules, in the event the transaction is ever questioned by another in the financial community, Banking or Securities Regulators, or a Court of Law.

- Feasibility Studies

A feasibility study or report is usually undertaken by an independent individual or other third party to determine the strengths and weakness of an existing business organization, a proposed venture or other special opportunity. Two solid examples of feasibility studies were – a) the question if a proposed hotel in Crested Butte, Colorado would be absorbed into that skiing community and would be profitable in nature, and b) if a proposed Assisted Living Facility just outside of Seattle, Washington would be profitable. Reports here are almost always prepared on a flat fee basis and are structured for the business owner to use the report's output with a financial institution to obtain the necessary financing for their proposed project. The fee includes multiple originals in order for the client / developer to work with several financial institutions at the same time.

- Business Plan Presentations

Reports are usually prepared on a flat fee basis and are structured for the business owner to obtain the necessary financing they are seeking in order to either launch their company and/or enable it to grow. The fee includes fifteen (15) original copies in order for the company to spread their word to a significant number of people at the same time.

- Mortgage Securitization

Dr. Kenneth E. Lehrer is a Certified Forensic Loan Auditor and provides Mortgage Securitization Audit Examinations. Upon engagement, he will track and trace the chain of title for a mortgage from the original closing to the date of the proposed foreclosure. This will provide evidence the mortgage was securitized and is no longer fully owned by the institution seeking the foreclosure, as appropriate. Affidavits can be supplied to assist in preventing a foreclosure as well as live Court testimony, as may be required.

Litigation Support Services

Litigation support studies are prepared for attorneys and law firms on an hourly basis, and range from small personal injury reports to larger and more complex “Daubert” studies that are usually associated with significant business litigation.
