Common first questions

Is a photograph enough for an initial assessment?

Photographs can provide an initial orientation. A reliable written appraisal normally requires examination of the original.

What happens to my images and information?

Your information is treated confidentially. Please send particularly sensitive court, insurance or client data only after the assignment has been clarified.

What costs should I expect?

Costs depend on the assignment and the work involved. The scope and a realistic cost range are agreed before work begins.
