Charleston Eminent Domain Lawyers

Consult With Our Eminent Domain Attorneys

Under South Carolina law and the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, we have given our government the power to take private property from landowners when it serves a public purpose such as building a new school, expanding roadways, or building new highways to improve traffic flow for the general public. However, this great power does not come without its limits and the law is clear that private property cannot be taken for public use without "just compensation."
