When We Can Help You

This involves cases in which the government is forcing the sale of private property (or greatly limiting the use of private property) for a public purpose. Fortunately, in Florida, your attorney and expert fees are paid by the government entity taking your private property.

Although eminent domain is power vested to the government in the United States and Florida Constitutions, there are significant protections to protect the owners of private property [i.e. no private property shall be taken for public purpose without full compensation]. A twelve (12) person jury determines the proper compensation to the owner of private property in these type of cases.

In most cases, you should contact us immediately after you receive notice from a governmental agency that your private property may be subject to a government taking (or greatly limiting the use of private property). The sooner you get us involved in the case, the sooner we can take the necessary actions to protect your rights so we can have the most positive impact upon your case.
Even if you did not retain us immediately (which is generally the best thing to do), you can retain us anytime prior to formally resolving and/or settling your Eminent Domain (or Inverse Condemnation) claim with government entity.

What We Can Do To Help You

Our law firm understands that a government taking of your private property (or greatly limiting your use of private property) can be devastating – especially if your business or your tenant’s businesses are detrimentally effected by this government action.

Immediately after we are retained, we will then commence to take any and all necessary actions to protect your interest in your private property or your business by consulting with and retaining the most qualified, experienced and reputable real estate appraisers, traffic engineers, accountants, economists or other relevant experts available to evaluate the true fair market value of your private property. Our goal is to maximize the valuation of your real property or business vis-à-vis the government entity whom is instituting the taking through the effective use of the appropriate experts and making sure that you are made whole throughout this process.

You should hire The Law Offices of Joseph A. Porcelli, P.A. to assist you with your Eminent Domain / Condemnation or Reverse Condemnation claims because there are many potential hazards in attempting to resolve these type of claims on your own.
