The government is planning a big public improvement project, but the upcoming improvement will need a portion or all of your property. You've been offered compensation, but how do you know this is a fair price for a potential decrease in value? Our staff at Morphew Law Office specializes in eminent domain law and can help you navigate the complicated process of maximizing the amount of compensation you can receive for the forced taking of your property, just like we’ve done for many people.
eminent domain law
Eminent domain occurs when the government, a utility company or similar entity needs to take your property from you for a public project such as building a new road, lightrail line, utility line, school or airport. If this happens, you are entitled to be paid fair market value (or more) for the taking of your property, and we can help.
Minimum Compensation
If your government is taking your property (commercial or residential) from you, you may be entitled to receive beyond the simple fair market value of your property (also called minimum compensation). In many cases, minimum compensation can result in a property owner receiving a payment far in excess of the value of their property that was taken from them. Contact us to learn more.
Inverse Condemnation
If you think the government may be utilizing your property for public use without paying you for that use, you may be entitled to compensation. Morphew Law Office has significant experience with these cases and can help you determine if the government can be compelled to pay you for your property and all of the costs and attorney fees you incurred for pursuing your claim.
