Eminent Domain / Condemnation
Eminent domain and condemnation cases can be highly contentious, involving the taking of private property for public use. Mediation offers a less adversarial approach to these disputes, helping property owners and government entities reach fair and equitable agreements. Through mediation, I guide both parties through the complexities of the process, fostering open communication and exploring options for compensation and alternative solutions.
How Mediation Applies to Eminent Domain/Condemnation
Eminent domain and condemnation mediation addresses various aspects of these disputes, including:
- Compensation Negotiations: Mediators assist in negotiating fair compensation for the property being taken, ensuring that the property owner receives just value in accordance with the law.
- Property Valuation Disputes: Disagreements over the value of the property can be mediated, with both parties working together to agree on a fair market value.

- Impact on Remaining Property: Mediators help resolve disputes over the impact of the taking on any remaining property, including issues related to access, aesthetics, and property use.
