Our Attorneys fight for you.
What the government considers fair, and what the property owner considers fair, may not be the same.
Indiana Property Rights attorneys have extensive experience with eminent domain law, as well as the effect a property taking has on an owner’s mortgage, property taxes and other significant considerations. We have settled hundreds of cases for Hoosiers faced with an eminent domain taking of their property, including:
primary & secondary family residences
farms & agricultural property
apartment buildings
businesses, warehouses, shopping centers & convenience stores/gas stations
leased property
special use land & undeveloped land
Experienced eminent domain attorneys make a difference.
In condemnation proceedings a property owner only has one opportunity to receive compensation, no matter what other issues may later come to light.
Our firm has 35 years of experience litigating eminent domain cases, including complex land valuations and property rights trials. Fighting for you is what we do.
-
The condemning authority taking your property has attorneys. Shouldn’t you? Further, what the acquiring agency considers “fair,” and what the land owner considers “fair,” aren’t typically the same.
It isn’t uncommon for land owners to feel pressure from the buying agent, pushing for them to quickly accept an initial property offer.
Your attorney will work with and hire real estate appraisers and other experts to maximize your recovery and, if necessary, prepare for trial.
Although compensation is usually the most important factor for a landowner, there may be other concerns that an attorney can assist with including access issues, signage, relocation, and zoning.
-
It’s never too early to contact an attorney to discuss your concerns. Landowners and business owners who think they may be impacted by an eminent domain action can contact an attorney as soon as they learn of a project that could impact their land.
Attorneys who practice condemnation law involving eminent domain actions know the process and can explain it in detail to the individual landowner along with providing an explanation of the legal rights and options that landowners have.
A consultation can be provided before the attorney is retained to represent the landowner. In other words, you don’t have to wait until you receive an offer on your land to contact an attorney.
-
Every property is unique. During your free consultation, our experienced attorneys are prepared to answer questions regarding your land taking and discuss potential fees. Consultations regarding Indiana property rights are offered at no cost or obligation.
Should you choose to retain our firm to represent you in an eminent domain matter, we will discuss which payment accommodation works best for you. There are are multiple options for attorney fees, including those that do not require any out-of-pocket payment.
