Minnesota Real Estate Attorneys: Eminent Domain and Condemnation

The attorneys at Jensen Sondrall Persellin & Woods, P.A. are experienced in every aspect of eminent domain proceedings, including settlement negotiations and trials. If a governmental entity chooses to take private property in the public interest, this can have an enormous impact on a property owner's financial interests. Thus, it is essential that you have an experienced eminent domain attorney to ensure that your rights are protected.

Eminent domain can fall under several different areas, including environmental laws; zoning laws; the construction of airports, roads and highways; telecommunications, public and private utilities; etc. It is essential that you have an experienced land use attorney to help you navigate through the complex processes associated with eminent domain and condemnation. Our attorneys are well-versed in all aspects of this area of law and we strive to obtain the maximum reimbursement expenses for our clients in all cases.

If a settlement is not reached and your case does proceed to trial, it is crucial that you have attorneys with extensive trial and appellate experience, such as that offered by the seasoned litigators in our firm.
