Eminent Domain Fact Delivery has Impact on Judge's DecisionI recently read this article, Caltrans’ Highway 101 Overpass Condemnation Case Ends in a Slip Decision by Brand Kuhn. This is an eminent domain lawsuit that I have been following for several years.

In cases of eminent domain, I can’t stress enough the importance of how the case is presented. The way that the facts are delivered makes a significant impact on the judge’s decision.

As an analogy, eminent domain trials are a lot like the reality competition shows that are so popular on television these days, like The Amazing Race and Dancing With the Stars. Two very talented competing teams go up against one another and apply their knowledge, skills, and resources to put on their best performance. After 20 days of performing – in this case the performance is the trial – the judge or jury scores the two teams based on the performances that they gave.

The scores are the result of how well the story was told while meeting specific criteria and facts in an eminent domain case. Protecting the client’s interests – requires the most compelling case possible; to produce the best results, the value of engaging expert eminent domain representatives to be part of your team to present cannot be underestimated.

Take a moment to read Brad’s article if you have any questions on this matter or other eminent domain and condemnation matters you want to discuss, please let me know.
