Austin Eminent Domain and Inverse Condemnation Cases

When the government needs your land for any public purpose--highway construction, new schools, or utility right of way expansion--you're entitled to full and fair compensation for the value of your property any, any damages to your business or remaining land caused by the public project. Contact an experienced Texas eminent domain lawyer at Lorenzana Law Firm, P.C. to learn more about our experience and past success.

Eminent domain, or condemnation as it is also known, is the process of "taking" private property for a public purpose. Texas eminent domain proceedings are governed by both state law and constitutional restrictions. Our understanding of both the procedural and evidentiary considerations in eminent domain cases can help you maximize the compensation you receive when a public agency needs your land.

Our lawyers represent homeowners, business owners, partnerships, trustees, and real estate investors in condemnation proceedings. We handle these cases on a contingent fee basis, and we advance the expenses involved in proving the value of your land and your other damages at our own risk. In other words, you pay nothing in attorney's fees and costs until your case is resolved through settlement or at trial.

We also handle so-called inverse condemnation cases, in which the property owner's land is not actually taken for the public purpose, but the value of the property or business is reduced or destroyed by either the nature or the proximity of the public project.

At Lorenzana Law Firm, P.C., we take a broad and aggressive approach to quantifying the total loss you or your company will suffer as a consequence of state or local eminent domain proceedings. Texas eminent domain attorney Elias Lorenzana has achieved excellent results for the firm's clients in condemnation cases. Our experience with real estate transactions and business operations help us both to identify and document important elements of your claim for compensation that might otherwise be overlooked.

For a free consultation about your right to full and fair damages in an eminent domain case, contact an experienced Texas condemnation attorney at Lorenzana Law Firm, P.C. in Austin.
