When Eminent Domain Threatens Your Property
Condemnation is a term of art used to describe the process by which a governmental entity exercises the Power of Eminent Domain to force a property owner to sell and vacate all or part of their property for an alleged public use or for the benefit of a public project. If a public project or eminent domain threatens your land or property, turn to an attorney with a strong track record. Regardless of the type of land you own, everyone is entitled to receive Just Compensation for a taking. The lawyer you choose should be committed to and experienced in helping landowners defend their property rights.

How Is The Taking Of Your Property Justified?
Highways, bridges, schools, lakes for water supply, pipelines, powerlines, and utilities benefit the public in most cases. They are common reasons for the application of the government’s Power of Eminent Domain to take parts or all of a person’s property. The expansion of a highway or the construction of a dam for a lake that provides water often requires the exercise of the Power of Eminent Domain through the legal process known as “condemnation.” This process often affects a myriad of real estate types, including retail, commercial, industrial, future development, residential, environmental mitigation banks, ranches, factories, office buildings, restaurants, parking lots, etc. If you can think of it, the government can try to take it. Matt has experience in negotiating, settling and sometimes taking cases to trial, for landowners with the following types of properties: lakes, plants, houses, office buildings, ranches, platted developments, residential developments, national chain restaurants and industrial uses.
