Elgin O’Hare - Western Bypass
It may come as a shock that the government can take your private property, against your will, for public projects on the condition that the state, federal, or local government pays “just compensation.” In this area of the law, the government works completely against you; that’s why we make it our mission to advocate for our clients, investigating each unique case to determine if the government is working within the law and to decide if the “just compensation” truly is fair.
Do not risk losing money to the government on one of your biggest investments!
To reach the optimal net result from a city, state or federal government body (dollars in your hand) in an eminent domain case, you should be represented by a competent, knowledgeable Eminent Domain attorney who can help you understand the full extent of compensation for which you may be entitled.
