Understanding Eminent Domain: Expertise You Can Rely On

One of the most powerful—and often most debated—rights held by our government is eminent domain. This authority allows the government to acquire private property for public or, in some cases, private use, in exchange for just compensation.

While intended to serve the greater good, eminent domain cases are inherently complex and can be deeply personal for property owners.

At G. Herbert Pritchett & Associates, we understand both the legal and emotional weight of these situations. Our firm has extensive experience providing professional appraisal services for both property owners and government entities, ensuring that fair and accurate valuations are determined every step of the way.

Our Eminent Domain Services Include:

• Expert appraisals for highways, railroads, and utility projects

• Valuation of transmission line, water, sewer, and navigation easements

• Objective, defensible analyses that stand up in negotiations and court

• Expert testimony to support our appraisal conclusions

Eminent domain disputes require both technical precision and deep understanding of property rights—and that’s where our experience makes the difference.

Whether you’re a landowner seeking fair compensation or a government agency ensuring compliance and transparency, you can count on our team for thorough, impartial, and well-documented valuation services.

Our Commitment to You
