Our You-First Policy

We strive to provide exceptional representation, one client at a time, by putting your concerns, needs, and rights first.

Putting You First: Our Promise to You

We understand how disruptive and alarming it can be when the government informs you that it’s taking your property. Eminent domain is a tricky, complicated, and detail-oriented area of law and if the DOT targets you, it’s very possible to make many mistakes when deciding on your next moves. But you don’t have to face this alone.

We created ourĀ You-First PolicyĀ to give you peace of mind and put you back in control. AtĀ the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm, every attorney hired, process implemented, and action taken puts the client – you – first. We handle the details of your case so that you can focus on your family, your business, and your future.

By putting our clients first since our firm began, we have helped property owners throughout North Carolina increase their average initial offers by nearly 3x.1

We promise to put you first by:

1. Listening to you

Everything starts with you.Ā You can call orĀ contact usĀ any time, day or night. Reach out online, on the phone, or in person. An experienced member of our team will review your information to determine if we think we can help you improve the offer you have received for your property. The evaluation is free, and there is no obligation to hire us afterward.

But our responsiveness doesn’t end there. It continues every step of the way – and our client reviews reflect this.

In their words

“When I’m talking to them, I don’t feel like I’m talking to my lawyer, I feel like I’m talking to my friend that’s giving me good advice.ā€ – Glenn T.1

Ā 2. Taking your case only if we believe it will put you in a better place

Our goal is to help as many people as possible, but we don’t take every case. We will take your case only if we think we can get you a better offer than you would receive without us. If we don’t think we can help you, we’ll tell you quickly.Ā We put you first, not our bottom line.

In their words
ā€œI felt that they were very fair. Very considerate, very professional, and very ethical.ā€ – Melvin M.1

3. Guiding you every step of the way

We will treat you like family and give you the same advice we’d give them. We’ll answer your questions, take care of the paperwork, monitor your filing deadlines, help you navigate the legal maze, and deal with the government.Ā And we’ll keep you informed at every stage of your case.

In their words

“I got a picture of what the firm is about, who I’d be working with, and how they’dĀ  proceed with my case. Because of that, I thought, ā€˜These are the people I need to be doing business with.ā€™ā€ – Tony D.1

Ā 4. Fighting to keep you from being taken advantage of

Our experienced attorneys and paralegals fight to obtain maximum compensation for your property. We’ve reviewed countless appraisals, and we understand the tactics employed by the government to secure your land as cheaply as possible. We know about the many types of damages that the DOT is not required to tell you about. We can put our experience and resources to work for you.

In their words

ā€œI really didn’t know how unfair the government was going to be with me until I got with your law firm.ā€ – Ferondo M.1

5. Seeking to get you paid asĀ muchĀ as possible

Don’t leave money on the table. We operate on aĀ contingency feeĀ basis, so our goals are always aligned with yours.Ā We will seek maximum compensation for your propertyĀ and if we don’t get you a better amount than you got initially, we don’t charge you any fee. Guaranteed.

In their words
ā€œI received more compensation that I thought possible.ā€ – Mary T.1

6. Advancing all costs towards building your case

We have a wide network of land professionals – surveyors, engineers, appraisers, realtors, and more – that we work with as needed to get a fair and objective valuation of your property.

We front the cost of these experts, and we’ll absorb them if we can’t get you a better offer.

No fee guarantee, meaning that legal fees will come out of the additional negotiated portion of total compensation received.

Are you ready to be put first?

We handle commercial, residential, industrial, church, and other property takings, and we stand by our You-First Policy with every client.

As soon as you receive notice that the government is taking your property, call us and we will give you a free case evaluation. We can use our experience, DOT maps, and our own proprietary data to thoroughly research your property and the consequences of the taking.

This is your opportunity to get a free case evaluation from an experienced attorney who knows the law and will put your needs first. Call 1-877-393-4990 now!

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.
