AUTHENTICATE CHINESE JADE PIECES

Hi, I am wondering if anyone here can help me find a knowledgeable person to authenticate a collection of Chinese Jades that came out of China into Laos and Cambodia from families that fled the Revolution. I took one piece to an auction house not far from where I live and the 'expert' looked at the piece of white Jade and told me it was soapstone and a fake. He looked a moments glance and moved on to the next person in the long line of people holding their artifacts of what ever it was they were holding. Does anyone know if Sothebys and Christies have genuine experts in the field of Jades? People say they are experts...but...!!! I understand that the market has been flooded with fakes. My pieces come out of private hands from those people that held them over many years. I understand that an illustrious curator of Beijing Museum has been involved with fraud and I don't know where to begin with selling my pieces. I am willing to travel with a piece to someone who can prove that they understand what they are looking at...to get help to market the pieces. Please, if anyone has any ideas on this forum.
