Fees & Costs |

No cost evaluation and consultationIf you have questions about the eminent domain process, or if you would like us to review an appraisal or offer you have received from the government, please give us a call at 866.339.7242. There is no charge or obligation. Fees & costsWe will gladly represent owners in return for an hourly fee; however, most of our clients prefer to hire us on a contingent fee basis. With a contingent fee structure, the law firm assumes the risk for earning a fee. We only receive payment if we obtain more money for the owner than the offer from the government. In that event, our standard fee equals one-third of the additional money received for the property owner.
In some states, attorney's fees and costs may be recoverable by the government once the statutory threshold is met. Select your state to learn more. |
Contigent fees refer to the fees charged by an attorney for their services. The client is also responsible for related costs, such as court costs and other additional expenses of legal action. The primary additional costs are hiring any needed expert witnesses. Generally, every case will require an appraiser. Depending upon the case, there may be a need for an additional expert witness, such as a planner, a broker, a hydrologist, a traffic engineer or other individual with unique skills required for a particular case. However, many cases only require the use of an appraiser.E-Mail Us For A Free Consultation
