Eminent Domain & Condemnation Law Attorneys Nc

The attorneys at Hansen, Howell & Wilkie, PLLC represent land owners and business owners across North Carolina whose properties are being taken by the North Carolina Department of Transportation; private utility companies, such as Progress Energy, Duke Power, Piedmont Natural Gas; and local municipalities or another governmental agency.  These condemnors are authorized to take property by exercising their power of eminent domain and by employing the legal process known as condemnation.  The United States Constitution and the Constitution of the State of North Carolina provide that private property may be taken for public use, but only when “just compensation” is paid to the property owners.  The experienced Raleigh, NC eminent domain and condemnation attorneys at Hansen, Howell & Wilkie, PLLC, led by Joshua D.

It is important to contact an attorney with experience and specific knowledge of the condemnation process as soon as you are made aware that your property may be taken or impacted by an entity possessing the power of eminent domain.  The eminent domain laws in the State of North Carolina provide very specific timelines and deadlines to respond to a threat of taking by eminent domain. Failure to act promptly within these time constraints can result in a loss of rights and may prevent a property owner from receiving their full and fair compensation under the law.
