There are not many private lawyers who specialize in eminent domain cases from the perspective of the governmental entity. Most of them work in-house for the state or agency with condemnation power. B. Regan worked for over 20 years doing eminent domain work for the Missouri Department of Transportation. Other governmental agencies would contract with MoDOT to use B's expertise in condemnation matters. When he retired from MoDOT he came to us to add a specialty that you can't find everywhere and now leads our Eminent Domain Group. Our governmental clients use our eminent domain specialists to acquire the necessary real estate interests for public projects. RSSC's experienced attorneys help clients identify necessary parties, help identify valuation issues for appraisers and provide advice so our clients' acquisition process complies with the requirements for federal participation in a project. RSSC's team approach to eminent domain handles all aspects of the eminent domain process from timely filing of the condemnation petition to insure a project does not experience a delay in the project letting through the exceptions trial and , if necessary the appellate process.
Having worked so many years on the government side of the fence, B. knows what it takes to maximize a recovery for a landowner who is having their property taken for public use. When no direct conflicts arise our Eminent Domain Team will represent property owners in condemnation actions. It's all about knowing the intricacies of the law and dealing with the appraisal experts who drive condemnation cases. If you have this unique need we have the unique specialty.
