You Can Afford an Eminent Domain Attorney

It can be both intimidating and expensive to fight the government alone on the loss of your land or home through eminent domain. But we have a solution to help you afford quality legal representation to fight for the full compensation that you may deserve.

At the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means that if we don’t get you any additional compensation over what the government offered you for your property, we don’t collect any fee. That’s right, we only charge you a fee based on what we are able to obtain above what the government initially offered you.

Will you owe us eminent domain attorney’s fees?

You pay a fee if and only if we get you an increased offer for your property. And then, the fee only applies to the increase your attorney negotiates for you. For example:

As you can see in the example, you get to keep the government’s first offer (all of it, minus any mortgages or liens on the property). Then, we negotiate with the government for more. If we’re successful, we take a percentage of that extra amount. If we’re not, you don’t pay any fee.

We front all costs and guarantee that you pay nothing if we don’t get you a better offer.

If we think the NCDOT’s initial offer is low, we can work with other professionals — such as surveyors, environmentalists, engineers, appraisers, realtors, and land planners — to get an unbiased view of the impact that the proposed taking may have.

Sound expensive? Don’t worry. We front the cost of these expenses in order to obtain a fair and objective valuation of your property, and we absorb these costs if we don’t get you a better offer. And we guarantee it.

Eminent domain attorney’s fees: Frequently asked questions

Many people are interested in hiring an eminent domain attorney when they first get word that the government is taking their land. A huge concern that (unnecessarily) prevents some property owners from hiring an attorney to advocate for them is the belief that an attorney is unaffordable. That’s just not true at the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm.

What if you don’t get me a higher offer than what the government offered?

If we don’t get you more than the government’s initial offer, we will cover all costs associated with your case. Remember, our fees never come out of the government’s initial deposit. That means if there is no increase, you pay us nothing. On average, since our firm began, we’ve increased the compensation our clients receive by 197% over the NCDOT’s original offer.¹

How does the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm try to get me more for my property?

Our experienced eminent domain attorneys are very aware of the types of issues that may make your property more valuable and how to try to prove this value. In general, we develop evidence to try and use as leverage when negotiating with the government. Oftentimes, we do this by hiring experts, such as appraisers, civil engineers, surveyors, and others as necessary.

And there’s no need to worry about cost. We take on the financial risk so our clients can fight for maximum compensation with no upfront costs or hourly fees.

Your property is your investment – and it deserves to be treated as such, even when you’re forced to sell it to the government. If you want to try to make the most on your investment, an attorney is a smart choice.

Why do we structure our payment this way?

In our experience, NCDOT appraisers often underestimate the fair market value and underlying value of properties, and we are confident that we have the resources and knowledge on our team to often obtain a better offer.

Government appraisers are supposed to consider your property’s highest and best use — as well as any damages you may experience to the remaining property — when determining their offer. Our eminent domain attorneys have many decades of combined experience fighting to try to maximize the value of our clients’ properties. Since we’ve been in business, we’ve helped our clients get on average nearly triple their initial offers.¹

We dig deep and investigate additional possible types of compensation to include in the valuation such as:

Damages to your remaining property caused by the taking
Fixtures and improvements to the property
Relocation expenses
And more

There are only a handful of attorneys in NC who practice eminent domain exclusively, and even fewer with NCDOT experience. We have several. That’s why its worth getting in touch with us for a free case evaluation.

Here’s how it works:

1) Tell us about your situation.

2) We research your property as needed, using DOT maps, our own technology, and experience to see the exact effects.

3) We let you know what we think a fair offer would be. This evaluation is free, and there’s no
pressure or obligation to hire us after.

But please don’t wait to act. Waiting can hurt your case, and the cost is the same: free.
