Law Firm Overview

Advocate for Licensed Practitioners and Professionals

Extensive experience with occupational licensing boards makes Mel Black an ideal lawyer to advocate for professionals in real estate broker appraisal or real estate licensing issues such as disciplinary hearings and filing of complaints. He is familiar with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). He has served as Executive Director on the North Carolina Appraisal Board and worked with the North Carolina Real Estate Commission and is an AQB Certified USPAP Instructor.

Licensed practitioners and professionals seek Attorney Black's counsel and representation in their interactions with licensing boards and governmental agencies. It is often a mistake for licensed practitioners to try to resolve disputes with licensing boards and governmental agencies on their own. Board complaints are adversarial. Any statement or written admission can be used strongly against you. Is it in your best interest to directly contact the board staff before seeking legal representation? Do you know USPAP well enough to respond to the issues in the complaint without raising additional issues? An experienced appraisal law attorney such as Mel Black is particularly well-qualified to protect the best interests of licensed professionals. Contact the law firm by phone or e-mail to schedule a consultation.
