Attorneys

Mission Property Advisors, Inc. conducts a significant and growing level of business with the legal community. Some of this work is related to trusts and estates and the balance consists of general real estate litigation and expert witness services.

The firm’s President, Steven R. Fontes, MAI, CCIM performs all deposition and courtroom testimony for the firm, unless other arrangements have been made at the outset of an assignment, and he is very experienced in doing so. Mr. Fontes has testified numerous times at depositions and/or trials, including jury and bench trials, in a number of Superior Court venues including Riverside, San Bernardino and San Diego Counties. In addition, Mr. Fontes has testified in Federal Court, specifically in United States Bankruptcy Court before a Chief Judge.

Through his lifetime membership with the Forensic Expert Witness Association (FEWA), Mr. Fontes stays abreast of practice related issues specific to the expert witness arena so that he can continue to improve his expert witness testimony skill set.

"I worked closely with Steve in a lawsuit that required both current and historical valuations of some very unusual properties, ranging from unimproved acreage to oddly configured commercial properties. Steve’s vast and detailed knowledge of appraising, his thoroughness both in arriving at his opinions and in articulating those opinions, are unparalleled. I think the highest compliment that one professional can give another is to refer that professional to others. I refer Steve every time anyone asks me for a referral to an appraiser and I so do with complete confidence in his ability to handle the assignment."

Attorney At Law – Los Angeles County, CA
"My client hired Steven Fontes at Mission Property Advisors, Inc. to provide an opinion of value for a single unit commercial property located in Riverside, California. Steve was also retained to testify at a valuation hearing in a bankruptcy that was pending by the borrower on the loan. His office provided a detailed valuation in a timely manner. Steve was required to testify at the hearing as well and asked to review two other valuations of other appraisers for the same property. Steve was responsive to my calls in preparation for the hearing and provided in advance an excellent critique of the opposition’s appraisals. At the hearing, Steve was very prepared and fully supported his opinion of value with data in his report. His testimony was extremely impressive and far exceeded the testimony of the two other appraisers. He had a great grasp of the nuances of this particular property, and was able to explain to the Court the concepts of market analyses needed in valuing this property. Steve was able to use reason and facts to adequately contradict the testimony of the two other appraisers.

Steve’s credibility on the witness stand was outstanding and as a result, the judge disregarded the other two appraisals and accepted the valuation submitted by Steve for the property. I would highly recommend Steve as an appraiser, especially when the matter requires testimony in court."

Attorney At Law – Bay Area, CA
"Steve: I know you have already heard the [jury] verdict from [the attorney]. However, I wanted to pass along his comment to me. He indicated the case hinged on the credibility of the appraisers. He said you did an excellent job on the stand for both direct and cross examination. He said you were the best appraiser he has ever worked with. I thought you’d like to know that. Thanks for all your work on this."

D. James Hart, Ph.D., City Manager
City of Adelanto, CA
"I have never worked with you before, but I would hire you again in a heartbeat. I just sent an email out to every attorney in our firm telling them they should use you."

Eminent Domain Attorney - Orange County, CA
"Steve possesses excellent market knowledge and he appreciates the nuances and details of each individual property. He is incredibly thorough and always responsive to my calls. In addition to being highly skilled in his craft, he is also a man of integrity and great character. When I refer clients to him, I always know that the job will be well done and on time, which is critical for my own reputation." "

Edward J. Zorn, Esq.
Vice President & General Counsel at California Regional MLS (CRMLS) – San Dimas
"Once again I commend you on giving an excellent deposition. Well-spoken people make a reporter's work flow smoothly. Your gracious manners I very much appreciate. Your mother should be proud of you. "
