The State or the County sent me a letter stating that it will be taking my property. Do I need an attorney?
Yes. You have the right to be represented in an eminent domain or condemnation matter and in many cases, to have your attorney’s fees and costs paid for by the condemning authority, whether it be the State, a County, City or other governmental entity. If a governmental entity (the State, County or City) is looking to condemn or “take” your real property or business, you should consult an attorney immediately to learn what rights you have with regards to your property. Even if you are not opposed to your property being taken or used for a public project, you should still consult an attorney prior to signing any paperwork or agreement to be sure you understand how your property rights will be affected by what you have been asked to sign. You are entitled to an appraisal of your property by an appraiser of your choice. The cost of the appraisal should be paid by the governmental entity.
Do all cases end up in the courtroom?
Many matters are settled before reaching the courtroom. Even after a lawsuit is filed there is a good probability of settling at mediation.
Does your firm charge a fee for an initial consultation?
Because we are confident in our abilities to assist you in solving your legal problems, hourly rates apply for initial consultations in most matters. A reduced hourly fee is available for initial divorce consultations.
