Eminent Domain/Condemnation
Condemnation is the process of taking private property through the power of eminent domain. Eminent domain is the right states and localities and the federal government have to condemn and force the sale of private property.
If you are facing eminent domain, find a eminent domain attorney specializing in condemnation/eminent domain to help you assert your legal rights and help you obtain just compensation for your property. If you are faced with civil forfeiture, consult with a condemnation attorney or an eminent domain attorney now to determine if the government acted appropriately and if you can use the innocent owner defense to get it back. For criminal forfeiture matters, you will need to consult with a criminal law attorney to prove your innocence and/or prove that your property was not connected with the crime.
