Condemnation Lawyers
For matters of condemnation, expertise matters most. That’s where our condemnation lawyers come in.
State, county, and local units of government often have the power of eminent domain or condemnation to take private property for public projects such as roads, schools, and water and sewer lines without the landowner’s consent. Just compensation must be paid to the landowner for the property that is taken.
The condemnation process in Michigan is governed by the Uniform Condemnation Procedures Act. Strict compliance with the procedures set forth in the Act is required. The Act applies from the initial good faith offer made to the landowner to and through any court proceeding filed to take title to the property and provide just compensation to the landowner.
