Eminent Domain
We represent property owners facing government takings through eminent domain proceedings.

With deep knowledge of Florida statutes, we protect clients' constitutional rights during condemnation cases across commercial, residential, and industrial properties.
Bert J. Harris Act
Our firm specializes in claims under Florida's Bert J. Harris Act, which protects property owners from regulatory takings. We pursue compensation when government actions inordinately burden existing property uses or vested rights. This includes challenges to zoning changes, environmental restrictions, and land use regulations affecting property value.
Inverse Condemnation
We handle cases where government actions effectively take property without formal condemnation. This includes drainage issues, physical invasions, and regulatory restrictions that destroy property value. Our attorneys prove compensable harm through expert testimony and property valuation analysis to secure rightful damages for affected owners.
Property Valuation Disputes
We challenge government appraisals to ensure full market value compensation for taken properties. Our team works with certified appraisers to demonstrate true property worth through comparable sales, income potential, and development rights analysis. This includes calculating damages for partial takings and access restrictions.
Legal Consultation
We offer free initial consultations to assess property rights violations and potential claims. Our attorneys explain legal options under Florida eminent domain law, including statutory deadlines and procedural requirements.
