What is Eminent Domain?
Eminent domain, also known as condemnation, is the government’s power to take private property for public use. Utility companies, likewise, have been delegated the power to condemn property or property rights. However, this power is not absolute. The condemnor must:
- Demonstrate that the taking of your property is reasonably necessary to achieve a public use
- Provide you with “full compensation” for your property
How We Can Help
Our experienced eminent domain lawyers can assist you with:
- Negotiating with the condemning authority: We’ll work tirelessly to secure the best possible compensation for your property, including any additional damages you may be entitled to, such as business losses or relocation expenses.
- Challenging the taking in court: If the government fails to offer fair compensation or if the taking is not for a legitimate public use, we’re prepared to take your case to court and fight for your rights.
- Understanding your rights: We’ll explain the complexities of eminent domain law in clear, easy-to-understand terms, empowering you to make informed decisions about your property.
