Practice Areas Overview

A substantial part of our practice is concentrated on Texas Condemnation (Eminent Domain) proceedings, from initial contact by the Condemnor through appeal.

We represent corporations, landowners and lessees. Constitutional rights to receive full compensation if property is taken through Eminent Domain or “condemned” must not be ignored.

Evaluating each case requires thorough knowledge of the peculiar time constraints, compensability issues, unique evidentiary bars, and current appellate interpretation. There are several common pitfalls of Texas Condemnation and highway right of way valuation disputes. Your case should be evaluated early in the process.

Jeff Avant and Elliott Mitchell have been involved in valuation disputes involving nearly every type of real property, including Agricultural property, Airports, Apartment Buildings, Automobile Dealerships, Automobile Service Properties, Bank Buildings, Churches, Condominiums, Corporate Headquarters, Drug Stores, Food Service Preparation Facilities, Fast Food Restaurants, Hotels, Industrial Use Properties, Malls, Mining Properties, Motels, Nightclubs, Office Buildings, Outdoor Advertising Signs, Parking Lots, Pipeline Right Of Way, Railroads, Restaurants, Retail Shopping Centers, Single Family Residences, Subdivision developments, Subsidized Housing and Vacant Land. Our practice experience includes complex litigation, civil rights, commercial and construction disputes, and cases involving serious injury or death.
