Fees & costs

We 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.

The client is responsible for related costs, where the primary 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.
