This Group is headed by Saul Fenchel who has extensive experience in representing and advising clients in condemnation matters which involve takings by the government through the power of eminent domain. These government takings include total and partial takings of property which can include land, building and fixtures. These takings give rise to damages for which the property owner is entitled to an award of "just compensation". In many cases, the award achieved will be substantially above the amounts initially offered by the government.

The government’s exercise of the power of eminent domain to take some or all of a person’s property will affect many property owners since the government is intensely engaged in a wide range of public projects involving road widenings, construction and expansion of public facilities such as schools and parks as well as economic development projects.

Mr. Fenchel’s clients have include owners of diverse properties, including shopping centers, banks, office buildings, vacant land, retail facilities and residences.
