Condemnation

What could be harder than a legal battle with the government?

That's what condemnation actions usually involve. "Condemnation" is the legal action in which a government - federal, state or local - seeks to acquire private property for public use. It is often referred to as “taking” by the government. It can be a frightening situation for the property owner - facing the mighty resources of a government agency, and all the bureaucracy, and the potential loss of property. Sometimes a condemnation lawsuit is necessary; sometimes it's not. Legal negotiations can obtain just compensation for the property-owner. But, competent, experienced legal representation is often critical to success.

Singleton, Burroughs & Young has successfully represented numerous property owners in condemnation actions over the years. We understand the legal issues. We know how the government works - and we go to court prepared to win on your behalf.

With the planned construction and renovation around Hwy. 707, the Aynor Bypass, Market Commons (Back-gate of the former Myrtle Beach Air Force Base), and Highway 701S, it is likely your property could be impacted.

If you are facing a condemnation action by the government – such as a new road or newly widened roadway or a utility right-of-way -- don’t wait. Contact us immediately at (843) 248-4229 or email us by completing the form below. We’ll take prompt, professional action to protect your rights and help you receive fair compensation.
