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.

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.
