How a phone call helped one businessman get 10x more
money for his property

Former client Ferondo standing in front of his resturantFerondo Moore was about to sign a permanent utility easement contract giving the state permission to run some utility lines on a portion of his business property – a Church’s Chicken drive thru. This Church’s Chicken, incidentally, was going to be Mr. Moore’s retirement nest egg.

No stranger to real estate deals, Mr. Moore was able to nearly double the DOT’s initial offer on his own. At that point, even though the DOT assured him the easement would not affect his day-to-day operations, something made him hesitate, and he didn’t sign the contract. Instead, he called a friend for advice who had been in a similar situation.

His friend’s advice was to call us.

Mr. Moore confided that contacting us was one of the best decisions he had ever made. Turns out, the day-to-day operations of that drive thru were affected. Very much so. That utility easement took away about half of the parking spaces, causing a negative impact on his business.

We took his case to trial and convinced a jury to make the DOT increase their original offer of less than $40,000 to more than $400,000* – more than 10x the original offer.1

How we helped double the initial DOT offer for one client’s retirement property

Smiling man wearin glass and wearing a pink shirtMany years ago, a client bought 13 acres that once belonged to his grandfather and had been in the family for hundreds of years. Having lived in Atlanta for many years, he was ready to move back to the old homeplace and build a nice little house in the woods where he could have a bit of privacy.

“When you live around Atlanta,” he laughed, “you want to be by yourself.”

But after buying back the family acreage he’d dreamed of living out his golden years on, our client received a notice from the Department of Transportation telling him not to make any improvements on the land without contacting them first.

We met with him and his neighbors and were able to prove to the DOT that the damages to our client’s land caused by the eminent domain taking were higher than what the state had accounted for. Ultimately, we were able to double the client’s settlement.1

Your second check: We dig into the details, build your case, negotiate for more than the initial offer, and get you a second check.

If we can’t get you a second check, you pay us nothing.2

Our second check guarantee means you only pay a fee if we get you a second check, guaranteed.

Even your case evaluation by an attorney is free. To see how much you may be owed, call 1-888-391-1339 or contact us online today.

evaluation today.

There are only a handful of attorneys in GA who practice eminent domain exclusively. And even fewer with DOT experience. That’s why it’s always worth it to get a free case evaluation.

Here’s how it works:

1) Tell us about your situation.

2) We research your property as needed, using DOT maps, our own technology, and experience to see the exact effects.

3) We let you know what we think a fair offer would be. This evaluation is free, and there’s no
pressure or obligation to hire us after.

But please don’t wait to act. Waiting can hurt your case, and the cost is the same: free.
