Скачать или смотреть NC Eminent Domain: What Happens When Your Case Goes to Court

If you can't settle your eminent domain case with the North Carolina Department of Transportation, it may go to court, and that's where having the experience of an NC eminent domain lawyer is critical. Stan Abrams of the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm explains in this video what to expect during the court process.

Basically, the government will file a condemnation action, which is a civil case, in the county where your property is located. The DOT will be the plaintiff, and you will be the defendant. It's wise to have an experienced attorney on your side to navigate this process.

There’s one major thing you won't be told up front that a lawyer can help you with: You can withdraw money from the government's first offer right away, and continue to pursue more money through the courts. When the DOT files a condemnation action, they deposit the amount of their first offer with the clerk's office at the courthouse in your county. An attorney can file a motion to withdraw those funds even as the case remains ongoing.

The government will have a lot of people working for them, from lawyers to appraisers. Shouldn't you have someone working for you? We only take eminent domain cases, so we're focused on getting the best result for you. Contact us today for a free consultation.
