Our country has a rich history surrounding eminent domain – from the brick and mortar that built its foundation – to modern-day infrastructure projects like roads, airports, and bridges. Even our Founding Fathers understood the great impact this would have on private landowners as well as the condemning agencies.
“Interestingly, condemnation law was so critical that the Founding Fathers put it right in the Constitution,” said Mark Bush, eminent domain attorney at Fraser Trebilcock. “Without it, roads, bridges, highways, airports, and virtually all other aspects of the critical infrastructure we use daily would not have been possible.”
For more than 30 years, Fraser Trebilcock attorneys have successfully worked with clients to improve, protect, and defend properties of all shapes and sizes, in a broad range of projects that include: petroleum pipelines, highway construction, airport expansion, county roads, drains, water and sewer projects, and more.
“As a result of that work, I’ve actually represented both condemning agencies and landowners in a multitude of public improvement projects,” said attorney Kirby Albright. “The eminent domain area has very unique procedural requirements and any client that’s affected by the eminent domain process it’s imperative that they have knowledgeable and experienced counsel to help them navigate that procedural process.”
