Our attorneys have successfully represented landowners against many governmental entities including:

There are two questions at the heart of condemnation matters:
- Does the government have the right to take your property?
- If so, how do you ensure you receive fair value?
The laws and regulations governing the exercise of eminent domain rights over private property are complex. Our lawyers can review your particular situation. We can present you with a fair estimate of the cost and how your condemnation case will proceed.
Should it be impossible to prevent condemnation, The Odom Firm can help you determine the value of the damages or losses you will likely suffer due to the condemnation of your property. Our goal is to help you obtain full and just compensation for your property that has been taken by the government.
