Our eminent domain practice includes the representation of both landowners and condemning authorities in all phases of the property acquisition process. We advise clients from the earliest stages of a potential taking through negotiation, administrative proceedings, trial, and appeal. Diverse experience allows us to address valuation issues, statutory requirements, and procedural complexities efficiently and effectively, regardless of the party we represent.
For landowners, our practice includes ensuring that the taking complies with applicable law and that just compensation reflects the full impact on the property, including any damages to the remainder. We coordinate with appraisal professionals, engineers, land planners and title experts to analyze valuation methodologies, and manage negotiations and litigation aimed at securing an outcome that protects our clients’ rights and interests.
For government entities and other condemning authorities, we provide guidance regarding project planning, statutory compliance, right‑of‑way acquisition, and defense of the taking through all stages of the legal process. Our experience enables us to help clients balance project needs with cost‑effective and legally sound acquisition strategies.
Whether the matter involves a public infrastructure project, utility expansion, roadway improvement, or other public use, our firm offers comprehensive and practical counsel tailored to the unique demands of eminent domain proceedings and parties.
