HENDRICK BRYANT’S ATTORNEYS ARE READY TO GO TO WORK FOR YOU
HENDRICK BRYANT’S ATTORNEYS TOOK ON N.C. DOT
– and helped change North Carolina’s eminent domain laws.
In 1987, the N.C. DOT began using a law that enabled it to restrict property owners’ rights, which lowered the state’s future acquisition costs. Thousands of properties were restricted and unmarketable for decades.
Hendrick Bryant’s attorneys were the first and only attorneys to challenge this N.C. DOT practice in court, and our firm didn’t stop fighting until eminent domain law had changed in North Carolina – for everyone.
As a result, properties can no longer be restricted – trapped – by N.C. DOT. Our clients’ trust in our work was rewarded with them receiving fair and just compensation for their properties.*
We took our clients’ case to the N.C. Supreme Court – and we’ll work just as hard and smart for you.
*Every case is evaluated on its own merits and circumstances; prior results are no guarantee of future results.

THE GOVERNMENT PLANS TO TAKE YOUR PROPERTY.
What should you do?
Local and state governments and public utilities can take your property for public projects such as highways, schools and gas line and utility easements.
However, the government must pay “just compensation” for your property and its loss of value.
The government will offer to buy your property for the lowest price in conflict with your interests – getting the full value of your land and buildings.
It’s your investment, and one you’ve worked hard for.
But you don’t have to fight this battle alone. The attorneys at Hendrick Bryant are ready to help
OUR RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES
Our eminent domain practice arises from our real estate and business law practices, which give us a valuable understanding of property valuations, property rights and business.
Our experience is extremely valuable when we negotiate with the government on your behalf. Condemnation cases can take time to resolve. It’s not like selling a house, a lot, a farm or any other piece of property. Negotiating with the government is not like working with a normal buyer.
Hendrick Bryant’s attorneys have resolved more than 500 condemnation cases across North Carolina resulting in more than $300,000,000 paid by N.C. DOT*.
As your attorneys, we will advocate on your behalf on issues such as
• Fair market value of property taken
• Improvement of real property, such as fixtures and equipment
• Cost to relocate
• Property access and road design
• Utility easements
*Prior results are no guarantee of future results; each case has its own facts and circumstances
