The takings clause is the part of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that allows for eminent domain. It states that when the government tries to take property from an individual or business owner, they must provide just compensation and be able to demonstrate that they will use it for public use. Lewis & Keller challenges government land condemnation cases where the projects do not qualify for public use or where there are other ways for the project to be completed without depriving you and your family of your home. We also work to make sure you are justly compensated for the property.
