AREAS OF EMPHASIS

Eminent Domain

Eminent domain is the power of the government to take private property for public use. Federal, state, and local governments, some quasi-public agencies, and some non-governmental organizations are authorized to use eminent domain law. Purdie & Metz attorneys have extensive experience representing both condemning authorities seeking to acquire private property for public use, as well as landowners who are seeking just compensation for land being acquired by eminent domain. At a time when populations continue to grow and infrastructure requires aggressive development, the eminent domain attorneys at Purdie & Metz are positioned to assist both condemning authorities and landowners affected by this expansion.
