Why seek lawyer assistance when dealing with land condemnation?

You never thought you’d find yourself here, but here you are. The city, state or federal government is using eminent domain to take your land. Here is why you may want to seek legalassistance when dealing with the land condemnation process.

Why can they do this?

Eminent domain laws give the government the right to take private land from its owners if it is for the public good. These laws are pretty powerful and can be difficult to fight. Stopping the land condemnation process from moving forward can prove very difficult.

How can legal counsel help?

If that fails, though, legal counsel can help you make sure procedure is followed correctly and even help you fight for maximum compensation for your property. The government authority taking your property does have to offer you just compensation, but what you think is fair may not be in line with what the government believes is fair market value.
