Eminent Domain Counsel for Property Owners

Make sure your rights are fully defended—contact Barry A. Springer, P.C.

Receiving notice of a government body exercising its right of eminent domain (commonly referred to as condemnation) against your property can be a frightening and overwhelming experience. When the government—federal, state, or local—threatens to acquire your property, you need the Law Offices of Barry A. Springer, P.C. We have the expertise required to aggressively defend your rights and maximize your compensation.

Since 1978, we have successfully defended our clients’ rights and property values. Unlike other law firms that handle an eminent domain case once every few years, we have the expertise formed from nearly three decades of continual work on eminent domain issues. Let Barry A. Springer, P.C., guide you through the complexities of the eminent domain process, starting with your right to challenge the taking of your property.

For best results, call early!

The sooner you call after receiving notice from the government, the more likely we can help you maximize the protection for your property. Even if the eminent domain process occurs, the government still cannot dictate the price to be paid for the taking of your property. We strongly suggest that you act early and quickly to gain the maximum protection for your property.

  • Physical Destruction to Property during Construction
  • Flood Plain, Flood Way, and Wetlands Designations and Their Impact on Value
