Condemnation/eminent domain: How much is your property worth? If the Georgia Department of Transportation (DOT), Georgia Power, a city, a county, or the State decides to take your land in a condemnation process, you are entitled to just compensation, and just compensation almost never describes the first offer from the condemning authority.

Landowner rights: If you are a landowner, if you own commercial, residential, or farm property that the DOT, Georgia Power, or the government needs, be sure to talk to Michael R. Sleister so he can explain your rights to you.

Condemnation proceedings: When your land or other real property is subject to a condemnation proceeding to make way for other uses (an interstate highway, a power line right-of-way, or other public uses), Michael R. Sleister can help you determine an appropriate response.
