Eminent domain empowers both state and federal authorities and others to acquire private property for public use, and through condemnation proceedings. Our legal team has a deep understanding of eminent domain law and condemnation procedures to advise landowners facing the threat of condemnation.
At Wick Phillips, our attorneys focus on protecting landowners’ rights in eminent domain and condemnation cases, including pipeline and transmission line easements, as well as other governmental takings. Our approach is practical and strategic: we scrutinize compensation offers from condemning persons, provide clear assessments, and negotiate effectively for proper and fair compensation. When negotiation is not enough, we are prepared to represent our clients’ interests through every stage of the condemnation process, including commissioners’ hearings, litigation, and appeal.
Our team’s experience includes successfully prosecuting complex eminent domain actions and contested case proceedings. We understand that condemnation can be confusing and daunting, which is why we offer responsive, personalized counsel to help our clients make informed decisions every step of the way.
