Your eminent domain attorney should be experienced, confident and accomplished. Choose someone with a solid reputation and an understanding of both the technical and legal knowledge required to understand the details of a condemnation case. Your lawyer must have trial experience and trial success. Brokers, appraisers, and others who may contact you are not trial lawyers and oftentimes do not know the nuanced law of eminent domain in Texas.
