Eminent Domain
Eminent Domain
Eminent domain grants state and federal governments the authority to compel private property owners to sell their land for public use. Similarly, private companies can utilize eminent domain powers delegated to them by the government to acquire private property through a legal process known as “condemnation.”
When their property is subject to eminent domain, landowners have the right to retain an attorney knowledgeable in this specialized area of law. Our eminent domain experts possess the skills needed to ensure landowners receive fair and just compensation if their property is condemned. Upon receiving an offer of compensation from the condemning authority, a skilled eminent domain lawyer such as our attorneys at McMahon Surovik Suttle can evaluate its sufficiency and, if warranted, negotiate for higher compensation on the landowner’s behalf.
