Eminent
domain (or condemnation) is the process through which private property
is acquired for public use. The condemning agencies retain experienced
eminent domain professionals, and you should too. Our attorneys have
substantial experience protecting the rights of landowners in
proceedings brought by the government.
- We will handle all phases of your case, from the first time you are contacted by the Agency, through settlement or to trial.
- We will counsel you in how to respond to the Agency’s offers and tactics.
- We will recommend strong, experienced expert consultants to help you maximize your recovery.
The
United States and Florida Constitutions guarantee just compensation
when private property and businesses are taken or damaged by government
action. You may be entitled to recover compensation for:
- the value of the land taken
- the loss in value to the remainder of your land (severance damages) if only part of it is taken
- the value of most fixtures, equipment and improvements installed on the land taken
- the value of any lease interests taken
- loss of value or damage to your business caused by the taking
- relocation benefits
- interest, attorneys’ fees, other litigation expenses and court costs
