Land Condemnation / Eminent Domain

Private property is one of the cornerstones of our free society, and owning your own property is a central part of the American dream. However, the government has the power to take away your private property using "eminent domain" and "condemnation" proceedings. When the government targets private property, owners often feel helpless.

While it is difficult to stop the government from taking your land, you do have important constitutional rights with regard to unwanted takings: You are entitled under the law to "just compensation" for the taking, which means full payment of the fair market value of the property taken under its highest and best use. Unfortunately, the government often initially offers owners far less than "just compensation" for the property.

Shanahan Law Group has experience fighting for private property owners and ensuring that they receive "just compensation" from the government. The firm is passionate about protecting private property rights; its principal, Kieran Shanahan, founded the North Carolina Property Rights Coalition, an advocacy group dedicated to protecting and preserving private property rights in North Carolina.

If the government targets your land, Shanahan Law Group will fight for your rights using a detailed analysis of the property along with reports from experts such as land appraisers, engineers, land developers, economists, and real estate professionals to ensure that you receive the maximum amount possible for your property.
