About

Landmark Research Group, LLC is an advisory firm specializing in real estate economics, property valuation, eminent domain, real estate damages, litigation support, negotiation, and strategy. Our mission is to be the world’s foremost scholars and practitioners in our field.

Annually, property damages total over $50 billion. Additionally, many frivolous legal claims overstate these damages. We utilize advanced methodologies to determine what impact, if any, detrimental conditions have on value. 

The Landmark team has worked on hundreds of cases nationally and internationally. These include diminution in value claims, class-action lawsuits, real estate fraud, statistical regressions, environmental contamination, crime scene stigma, construction defects, title defects, eminent domain, geotechnical issues, natural disasters, and so forth. 

Our clients include government agencies; law firms; oil, insurance, and utility companies; corporations; developers; lenders; and property owners. Our cases range from single homes to entire neighborhoods damaged by the largest natural, environmental, crime scenes, and terrorist cases in history. We were the designated experts on disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the Bikini Atoll Nuclear Test Sites, OJ Simpson, JonBenet Ramsey, and the Flight 93 Crash Site, as well as the retained expert for the World Trade Center.

Other cases include the BP Oil Spill, Sgt. Yokoi Cave in Guam, Talum Mexico Resort, Northridge Earthquake, Hollywood Boulevard Sinkhole, LA Riots, Heaven’s Gate mass suicide mansion, the Flint Michigan water crisis, and numerous wildfires. Research has taken us from Chernobyl to Hiroshima and scientific outposts in Antarctica.
