You may also be able to file a claim with the appraiser's board to see if they will offer restitution. Colorado has a program like that for attorneys, basically there is a fund that is managed by the attorney registration office of the State Supreme Court so that if people are defrauded or otherwise financially harmed by their attorneys they can be at least partially compensated through this fund. There may be something similar for appraisers in OK.
That ship already sailed. He was reported to both the Oklahoma Appraiser's Board (paper packet) and the VA (email duplicate of the OK paper packet).

If he wishes to truly settle, and God willing without involving a lawyer on either side, I'd be happy to argue on behalf of him to both the VA and the OK board that he did what was right upon his mistake being brought to light. If he's had no other complaints, that should be taken into account as well.

But, as my very first Platoon Sergeant used to say: you can have a thousand atta-boy's, but all it takes is one ah'shit.

Just want this made right.
