Protecting the Rights of Property Owners in California
Does the government have a right to take your property? If there is a proper public use, such as constructing power lines, public schools, or highways, they do. The process by which a government entity takes your property is called eminent domain.

Fighting to Get You Just Compensation for Your Property
If the government is attempting to take your property for road construction or highway construction, it can be extremely difficult to challenge under eminent domain laws. However, you have the right to be justly compensated for the taking. At the Law Offices Kenny Tan, we can obtain an appraisal from an expert and negotiate with the government entity to obtain an offer that benefits you.
Government entities sometimes ask you to turn over your property without being paid for it. You do not have to give away your land without receiving just compensation. Our attorneys know what factors to use to determine whether your property was properly valued. These factors can include how much land was taken, what experts were hired, and how much they were paid.
Other Condemnation Remedies
If your property has been taken under the eminent domains laws, you may be entitled to other remedies beyond just compensation. These remedies include:
- Payment for loss of goodwill — If your business has suffered due to a government taking, you may be entitled to damages.
- Relocation expenses — Moving can be very expensive and burdensome. Our attorneys will fight to make sure this money does not come out of your pocket.
- Severance damages — Is the government attempting to take a fraction of your property? If power lines or other structures have impeded the use of all of your property, you may be entitled to recover.
