What Is Eminent Domain?

Eminent domain is a government entity’s legal authority to take private property and convert it to public use. Through eminent domain, the government has the power to acquire land from private owners and take ownership of the property regardless of whether the landowner consents to the sale or disagrees with it.

What are My Options as a Property Owner if I’m Facing Eminent Domain Condemnation?

If you own a property that is affected by a possible eminent domain condemnation, you may have a few different options to challenge the taking of your land. Each condemnation case is unique, so it is best to work with an attorney who can advise you on the best course of action for your situation. As a property owner, you may be able to appeal the condemnation decision and ask the court to review the case.

Why Should I Hire an Eminent Domain Attorney for My Case?

Losing your property because the government has different plans for it can be a heartbreaking situation, especially when your property has been passed down from generation to generation. Unfortunately, all the emotional implications of losing your property seem to matter very little to the government or the condemning agency.
