How is Property Value Established

Government agencies will follow their appraiser’s recommendation in determining the value of your property or business. We believe that often this represents only a portion of what is fair. Working with an extensive network of experts—appraisers, engineers, environmental experts, and city planners—Allen, Semelsberger & Kaelin LLP will conduct feasibility studies to determine the highest and best use of your property. Then we will combine this analysis with the appraisal, ensuring that you receive the highest compensation for your property.

Understanding the Impact of Eminent Domain on Your Business

We know there are many questions that you likely have, including:

• Can your business be relocated?
• What will be the financial impact of moving?
• Will you lose your most loyal customers?
• Will you lose your most trusted employees?

Allen, Semelsberger & Kaelin LLP knows that in addition to receiving the highest possible price for your real estate holdings, you should also be compensated for the impact on your business as well.
