Eminent Domain Disputes

Eminent Domain or Condemnation Law Attorneys

Serving Individuals and Businesses Throughout Missouri and Kansas

Eminent domain is defined as the fundamental power of our federal, state or local governments to take private property, for a public purpose, without the consent of the owner. The power of eminent domain is also incorporated into the constitutions of many individual states.

For more than 30 years at the versatile and experienced Law Offices of Charles W. Gotschall in Kansas City, we've defended many a Missouri or Kansas client's private property rights, and aggressively advocated for the fair compensation they deserve for the imposition on their rights. In addition, Mr. Gotschall served for several years as a condemnation commissioner awarding compensation to those whose property was taken in the condemnation or eminent domain process.
