Houston Condemnation Law Office

No real estate owner wants to receive notice that their property has been condemned for government takeover. The U.S. and Texas constitutions establish the governmental right of eminent domain – that is, the power to take private property for public use, provided they pay just compensation to the property owner. The city of Houston and Harris County can both exercise that authority. With the booming oil industry leading to pipeline projects, utility projects, and other infrastructure developments, it’s not uncommon for them to do so.

If you own a property in the Houston area and have received a condemnation notice, you have an opportunity to challenge the government. Our Houston condemnation lawyers at McFarland PLLC can help you assert your right to fair compensation. With over 30 years of collective experience, we focus solely on representing owners of commercial, residential, industrial, or special-use properties, fighting against the vast power of the government. We have successfully litigated against state, county, and local governments in eminent domain cases. Our founder, Charles McFarland, is a board-certified attorney in civil trial law with many awards and accolades under his belt.

Proven results: We obtained the largest jury verdict against the state of Texas in history, and Mr. McFarland has won more verdicts for landowners than any other lawyer in the area.
