Illinois service areas
Eminent domain counsel across Illinois.
Focused representation for property owners facing condemnation, partial takings, easements, relocation, and public infrastructure projects.
One statewide law. Local project realities.
The Illinois Constitution and Eminent Domain Act protect owners across the state. The practical impact of a taking still depends on the property, the project, and the acquiring authority.
We review the land or rights requested, the agency appraisal, current engineering plans, access, parking, drainage, temporary construction needs, relocation issues, and the value of what remains.
