Eminent Domain Lawyer

The taking of property through the power of eminent domain is known as condemnation. An eminent domain lawyer represents individuals and business when a municipality or the state or federal government wishes to take their property via the exercise of eminent domain. If a property owner challenges the condemnation on the grounds that the price being offered by the government is not fair, an eminent domain lawyer can help him negotiate a more reasonable price. If the property owner and the government cannot reach a settlement, then a lawsuit must be filed and a trial held where each party will be allowed to present evidence as to the value of the property. After all parties have been heard, the judge will issue a ruling.

Fast Facts

  • Public utilities, though not government entities, have the authority to exercise the power of eminent domain to take private property.
  • If only a portion of a property is taken, compensation must be based on damages or benefits to the remaining property as well as to the part which is being taken.
