As an eminent domain focused law firm, our practice is committed to championing the civil right of private property ownership for property and business owners.
When there is reasonable necessity and public purpose for a property to be taken, the property owner is entitled to receive full compensation. The measure of “full compensation” is the amount of money which makes the owner whole, and as a property owner, you are to be in the same position financially as they were prior to the property being taken. Under Florida law, the condemning authority is also required to pay the owner’s attorneys’ fees and costs as part of the measure of full compensation.
