- Eminent DomainBrent Simon Law Group provides representation for a wide-range of clients who are impacted by eminent domain or inverse condemnation. In each case our main goal is to achieve the utmost satisfactory results for our clients.
- Land Use and ZoningWe have handled a wide range of commercial properties. It is extremely important to understand the current, as well as future, potential uses. Local government zoning and land use rules such as minimal lot size, set back, green space and development rules can be unseen traps waiting for the unsuspecting owner. Our expert land planners and civil engineers perform detailed studies to ensure that any potential problem created by the proposed land taking and construction project are properly identified. By identifying potential problems, the government’s plans may be altered to avoid the damage to your remainder property, or at the very least, assure that you are paid full compensation.
- Estate PlanningEvery property and business is unique and will suffer its own unique impact. Whether the impact is legally compensable is why pre-condemnation planning is so important. This is similar to estate planning where an owner’s hard-earned assets can either be paid to the government as estate taxes if ill prepared, or paid to the owner’s heirs if properly prepared. There are many pitfalls awaiting the ill prepared.
