Go-to advisors for property owners and governments
With decades of experience representing both property owners and government entities, we know the ins and outs of condemnation and eminent domain proceedings. Our knowledge of the law and the nuanced rules that apply to the process enables us to develop strategies that often help clients avoid litigation altogether. However, when trial or negotiations are necessary, our team is fully equipped to represent you every step of the way. As one of the few firms offering these services in the Pacific Northwest, we’re proud to be your go-to resource.
Our team is consistently recognized by Best Law Firms as a Tier 1 practice in Seattle and Portland for its immense bench strength and client-focused representation.
We have substantial experience representing municipal clients in acquisition projects, such as transit stations and rail corridors, arterial street development and expansion, utility corridor development, convention centers, municipal purchase and condemnation of private utility systems and transit-oriented development. We have also prosecuted and defended inverse condemnation cases, including actions related to taking through regulation or failure to issue land use permits, as well as noise and odor complaints.
For private property owners facing condemnation, we’re here to ensure your rights are protected. We help property owners understand compensation and damages concerns, while also addressing title questions, easement disputes and relocation issues. Every condemnation matter is unique, and we provide personalized, practical solutions to get the best possible outcome for you.
