Eminent Domain & Condemnation Attorneys – Wisconsin
Eminent domain in Wisconsin can be fraught with nuanced laws and unfair treatment toward landowners. Fortunately, there’s someone you can trust to hold condemners accountable. Sever Walker Padgitt is your source for the knowledge and expertise required to ensure fairness for all regarding condemnation and eminent domain law.
What Is Eminent Domain Law In Wisconsin?
According to Wisconsin state law, various government and private parties have the right to seize private land and use it for public projects (like the building of pipelines or highways). This right is known as eminent domain. When the parties take the land, the process is known as condemnation.
Though there are laws defining the limits of eminent domain, many condemners take advantage of these laws and do not give landowners the full benefits they deserve.
Receiving an eminent domain notice can quickly cause your world to come crashing down. You’re losing your land, and maybe even your business space or home. So, where do you go from here?
Follow these steps to ensure the best possible treatment in your eminent domain case:
Hire an eminent domain attorney in Wisconsin
An eminent domain attorney will be your go-to source for answers to questions regarding the condemnation process. They’ll act as a sounding board and advocate for your rights in the court of law.
Learn more about your rights as a landowner
Your condemner may seem to have all the power, but you have rights, too. Allow your attorney to educate you on these rights to move forward with the best results.
Allow your attorney to handle negotiations
Landowners who negotiate on their own are less likely to get the total compensation and benefits they deserve. Let your experienced condemnation attorney handle the job.
