At Walsh Colucci, the Eminent Domain Practice Group is dedicated to safeguarding the rights of property owners and businesses impacted by public projects throughout Virginia. Our team combines extensive experience with a client-focused approach to ensure those facing condemnation receive the protection and compensation they deserve. 

Expert Advocacy at Every Stage 

We assist clients at all stages of the eminent domain process, ensuring their rights are protected and their interests are effectively represented: 

• Design Phase: Our team reviews project plans to identify potential impacts and negotiates plan changes when appropriate, minimizing disruption to clients’ properties and businesses. 

• Appraisal Phase: We engage with the condemning authority’s appraisers to ensure our clients’ concerns about project impacts are properly evaluated and factored into compensation offers. 

• Negotiation Phase: Our attorneys review the condemning authority’s offer, provide clear advice on its fairness, and assist clients in preparing counteroffers that reflect the true value of their property. 

• Litigation Phase: When a fair resolution cannot be reached through negotiation, we vigorously advocate for our clients in court, ensuring their Constitutional right to just compensation is fulfilled through a settlement or court award.
