Eminent Domain Law

Skilled Louisburg, North Carolina, Land Condemnation Lawyers

By means of the right of eminent domain, government entities can condemn your land for their own use for buildings, schools, easements, and roads, among other things. You are constitutionally guaranteed fair and just compensation, and the land condemnation lawyers at Davis, Sturges & Tomlinson, have the knowledge, the experience, and the skill to help you obtain the compensation you deserve.

The initial government offer for the purchase of your land is unlikely to reflect its full value. You can accept the offer, but you would be well advised to retain the services of a seasoned attorney to negotiate a better settlement or to go to trial on your behalf. The difference between the government's initial offer and a jury verdict can be significant.

Our lawyers work with engineers, appraisers, and other experts to establish the fair value of your land. We develop a negotiation strategy that reflects not only the value of your property, but the fact that other citizens stand to gain at your expense. We find that juries tend to be sympathetic to land owners in eminent domain matters, and often it is in your best interest to take the case to trial, rather than settle out of court.

We accept land condemnation cases on a contingency fee basis, and we do not charge a fee unless we make a difference for you.

We are a full-service law firm with a long record of cost-effective and principled legal service in Louisburg and the surrounding area. We have extensive experience in all aspects of real estate law. If your land has been condemned by the government, please take no action until you contact us for legal counsel.
