Our firm represents residential and commercial landowners who are threatened with losing their property to eminent domain to federal, state or municipal governments.

A property taking through eminent domain can happen to anyone. If it happens to you, you need to know what you are up against. As a practical matter, there is not much you can do to prevent condemnation, but it is essential to find out what options you have available.

With the right representation in court, you can negotiate fair and proper compensation or fight to have the proposed compensation judicially determined. Components considered during compensation include both the value of the property and relocation costs, as determined by the Uniform Relocation and Assistance Act and the Alabama Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act.

In federal cases, unless the government can be proved to have acted arbitrarily or capriciously, the decision is final. When the State of Alabama takes action, the necessity of the taking must be proven.
