Areas of Law  |  EMINENT DOMAIN & INVERSE CONDEMNATION

At Meyers Nave, you are assured of quality representation provided by an experienced and very successful eminent domain practice.

Whether you are considering the acquisition of property by eminent domain or are faced with potential condemnation, Meyers Nave's eminent domain practice team has the experience to help you obtain a successful result.

To a city, county or special district, the prospect of condemning a property or business can significantly increase their financial risks. An unanticipated verdict can substantially alter a well-planned public project. From the perspective of the property or business owner, a forced sale often creates anxiety about relocation to a new site and whether or not the owner will receive adequate compensation.

Meyers Nave's condemnation attorneys have litigated the acquisition of an assortment of properties, including agricultural land, air rights, commercial and residential buildings, subsurface mineral rights, wind power rights, cemeteries, railroad right-of-ways and submerged tidelands. Our expertise includes:

  • Property owner rights
  • Inverse condemnation
  • Contaminated land issues
  • Relocation benefits
  • Property valuation
  • Goodwill valuation

Equally valuable to our clients are the working relationships we have developed with consultants and expert witnesses who can contribute to a successful result.
