North Carolina Land Condemnation Law Attorneys
Condemned Property Lawyers – Eminent Domain Law Firm

Using the powers of eminent domain, the state, federal, and local government can condemn privately-owned land and use it for public  projects such as schools, highways, and public works projects.

Farmland, private homes, family estates…no land is safe from the clutches of the government. No person is immune. In a recent United States Supreme Court case, people lost their very homes to enable commercial development in the area.

However, you are not powerless. Kurtz & Blum’s land condemnation attorneys will stand up against the government on your behalf.

We may not be able to stop the government from taking your property, but we can make sure they pay you fair market value for your real estate.

If the Department of Transportation, your local school board, or any other government agency is attempting to acquire property you own, please contact a North Carolina land condemnation attorney at Kurtz & Blum today.

The government will offer pennies for every dollar your property is worth.

Before property is condemned, government representatives must offer land owners “just compensation” for their property. This written offer is typically well below the fair market value. If you turn down this offer, the government will file a lawsuit to condemn the land. They also must deposit the amount of money originally offered for the property in an account with the Superior Court.

You are entitled to receive the full amount of the original offer, plus any additional funds that we can win through negotiation or litigation.

The original offer is yours, free and clear. Our fee is based on the amount of money we win for you above and beyond the original offer. To learn more about eminent domain, speak to a North Carolina land condemnation lawyer at Kurtz & Blum today.
