Ohio Easement & Eminent Domain Attorney for Landowners
When a utility company, pipeline operator, or the government wants access to your land, they don’t always play fair. At Anderson Law Firm, we represent Ohio landowners in easement and eminent domain cases, making sure your rights are protected and you receive fair compensation.
Protecting Landowners in Easement Disputes
Easements give utilities or neighbors certain rights to use your property. Problems arise when companies pressure landowners into signing easements quickly, fail to explain the long-term impact on property value, and offer little or no compensation. We negotiate, litigate, and protect your property rights every step of the way.
Understanding Eminent Domain in Ohio
Governments and public utilities can take private land for public use. But you have rights under Ohio law:
- To challenge whether the taking is necessary.
- To demand fair market value or more, if the taking reduces your property’s usability.
- To fight undervalued offers in court.
We hold the government and corporations accountable to the law.
Common Questions About Easements & Eminent Domain
Do I have to sign an easement agreement? No. You have the right to review, negotiate, or refuse. Always consult an attorney first.
What is “just compensation”? The fair market value of the property taken — and sometimes additional damages if the rest of your land loses value.
Can I stop a utility company from taking my land? Not always, but in some cases, yes. If the taking is not truly for public use or violates procedure, it can be challenged.
