Need help with an eminent domain matter?

Eminent domain gives the state, local or federal government the right to assume ownership of your real estate property, residential or commercial, for public use in exchange for fair compensation. An eminent domain attorney may be retained to challenge the government’s valuation for compensation, negotiate the timing or its need to take your property entirely. The eminent domain process can be intimidating and overwhelming – an experienced attorney is essential.
