The firm represents property owners, businesses, and tenants in eminent domain matters, with experience serving clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to families facing the loss of their homes or property through condemnation proceedings.
We assist clients through every stage of the eminent domain process:
- Design Phase: Reviewing project plans to identify property impacts and negotiate design modifications when appropriate.
- Appraisal Phase: Working with condemning authorities and appraisers to ensure all project impacts and damages are properly evaluated.
- Negotiation Phase: Reviewing compensation offers and advising clients on fair and strategic counteroffers.
- Litigation Phase: Protecting our clients’ Constitutional right to just compensation through settlement negotiations or trial proceedings.
When you retain Walsh, Colucci, Lubeley & Walsh for an eminent domain matter, you gain access to a multidisciplinary team with experience not only in condemnation law, but also in zoning, real estate transactions, tax, and estate planning. Clients also benefit from the guidance of licensed CPA and attorney Charles E. McWilliams, Jr., who assists with lost profit claims and advises clients seeking to defer federal tax liability through Section 1033 exchanges.
Our experience also includes regulatory takings claims, inverse condemnation actions, power transmission line cases before the Virginia State Corporation Commission, and natural gas transmission line matters before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Our goal is to handle eminent domain matters efficiently, strategically, and effectively so clients achieve the strongest possible outcome.
