Jim has qualified as an expert witness in a number of different areas related to stock photography. They include:

• Evaluating a stock photo business for the purpose of sale.
• Providing an expert valuation in the event of lost or damaged transparencies.
• Providing an expert opinion on compensation when there has been an unauthorized use or copyright infringement. (Photographers note: The chances of significant compensation are much better if the image was registered prior to the infringement.)
• I have provided evaluations of a photographer's file for purposes of a divorce settlement.
• In cases of medical mal-practice I have provided an evaluation of a photographer's future income potential for the purpose of settlement.
• Providing opinion on the standard business practices in the industry related to the storage, handling and marketing of stock images.
• Guidance in estate planning relating to the value an image file, and placing a value on such files for estate tax purposes.
