Washington State Constitution

The right for a landowner or tenant to be fully and fairly compensated when the Government takes or damages your property is one of the most basic and fundamental rights we have as citizens. Whether described by the Government as "Eminent Domain", "Condemnation", or a "taking", these words mean the same thing, namely that the government is excercising its power to take or damage your private property for public use. Typically this is done in connection with the construction of a roadway or for the construction of some other public facility. A few examples of projects on which our law firm has represented Landowners against the government include the North-South Freeway (State of Washington), Flowery trail Road 49º North (Stevens County), Highway 395 (State of Washington), the straightening of Five Mile Road (City of Spokane), and the Seattle Monorail Project (City of Seattle).

We will gladly discuss your situation with you, explain your rights, and answer any questions you may have. There is no fee or cost for the initial consultation.
