Retail and commercial use properties need the access and exposure to traffic afforded by highways, major thoroughfares, and heavily-traveled roadways. The same locational characteristics that make commercial properties the most valuable properties make them more susceptible to takings for roadway widening and expansions.

Representing Texas Property Owners
In Eminent Domain/Condemnation Cases
It’s your property. Whether you acquired it to develop, hold as an investment, or operate your business, you have it for a reason. No one cares more about it than you. So, when the State or some other governmental or public-use entity threatens to take your property, or even a portion of it, it can seem overwhelming. They have this incredible power, the right to take your property, and you don’t get a lot of say. They control how much they will take and when they will take it.
But when it comes to how much they have to pay, you do get a say. You have the right to contest their offer and recover full compensation not only for the market value of what they are taking but also the decreased market value of what you are left with after the taking.
We can help. At McFarland PLLC, we have a proven process for representing property owners in maximizing their recoveries for the taking of private property for highway, roadway, and other public infrastructure projects that impact retail, commercial, industrial, and special-use properties. It’s all we do, and we’re pretty good at it.
We have obtained successful jury verdicts, judgments, and awards in counties across the state of Texas over the past two decades.
