Our Successes

Representation of landowners against the state of Texas in takings for highways. These include: increase in compensation from approximately $22,000,000 to approximately $34,000,000 regarding a highway expansion and an increase in compensation from approximately $26,000 to over $500,000, regarding a highway taking.

Representation of landowners in negotiating terms of easements and compensation for electric transmission lines against virtually all of the major transmission companies.

Representation results in increases in compensation over the amount landowners can obtain themselves, and better easement terms to protect their land.
