Eminent domain allows the government to take private property for public use, such as building roads, schools, or utilities. However, property owners have the right to challenge government takings if they believe the action is unlawful or unnecessary. A key aspect of fighting an eminent domain case is proving that the taking is not justified or that alternative solutions exist. Borna has extensive experience challenging government agencies and protecting property owners from unjustified property seizures.
When the government takes private property through eminent domain, it must provide “just compensation” to the owner. However, disputes often arise regarding the fair market value of the property. Many property owners receive compensation offers that do not fully reflect the value of their land, business losses, or relocation expenses. Borna aggressively advocates for property owners to ensure they receive full and fair compensation for their losses, utilizing expert appraisals and legal strategies to maximize their claims.
In some cases, the government does not physically take the property but enacts regulations that significantly reduce its value or restrict its use. This is known as a regulatory taking, and property owners may have grounds for an inverse condemnation claim. If government actions, such as zoning changes or environmental restrictions, have devalued your property, you may be entitled to compensation. Borna helps clients navigate these complex legal challenges, ensuring that their property rights are protected under California law.
