CONDEMNATION/EMINENT DOMAIN
We have years of experience in eminent domain matters and we have continually represented both municipalities and property owners in these matters for the past 30 years.
This experience includes negotiating in order to avoid litigation, guiding governmental agencies through the initial steps required to acquire property and litigating these cases through trial and appeal. We have also represent property owners in defending condemnation actions both in pre-suit negotiations and at trial.
