re: *Not a Licensed Surveyor

He is basically selling you a pretty drawing. Depends on what you need to use it for, but it carries zero credibility for anyone who cares.

While true the licensed professional's credibility is only as legit as a jury defines it. It would be possible to litigate a mistake with the licensed individual or their employer but if a mistake is made most likely its going to be the property owner who suffers a loss. It may be possible for the property owner to be made whole but its as likely the surveyor or the surveying companies insurance will not make the property owner whole. Licensing is meaningless, all it ensures is there is less competition, it has nothing to do with competency other than providing consumers with the warm fuzzies. If anyone doubt this consider the same entity that licenses professionals also licenses drivers...
