As Experienced Eminent Domain Lawyer, We Help Owners With All Issues 

  • Pre-condemnation planningFrom relocation to compensation, many critical decisions are made before formal condemnation proceedings begin. By meeting with our eminent domain attorneys as soon as you learn of being potentially condemned, we can help to either challenge the proposed condemnation, or better position you to ensure maximum compensation. At Denlow & Henry, we protect your rights .
  • Challenging the right to condemn - In these situations, it is necessary to challenge the right to condemn. This is especially true when the ultimate owner of your property in condemnation will be a private developer. In these situations, our job may be to stop the attempt to condemn your property.
  • CompensationTypically, the most critical issue in condemnation is compensation. When the taking is for the entire property, we seek to ensure that you are fully indemnified for your losses. When the taking is for part of the property, compensation is not only for the property taken, but for damages to the remaining property. In certain situations, we seek damages for business losses and can help with inverse condemnation proceedings.
  • Private redevelopment - There are situations where a private redeveloper obtains the power to condemn. This is done in partnership with the local government and often entails "blighting" an area.
  • RelocationA property owner is entitled to both compensation for the property and relocation benefits. Relocation benefits include financial assistance to move and reestablish at another site as well as assistance to find a new location. In some circumstances, business losses can be compensated as part of the relocation.
  • Condemnation of businesses - If highway construction or a city installing utilities has threatened to take part of your company's property or to close your business, we can help. Road widening and other government planning should not disrupt your company without adequately compensating you
