Former NCDOT Attorneys Hosting Another Seminar on Monroe Bypass for Union & Mecklenburg County Property Owners
Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) May 18, 2015 -- In late summer/early fall of 2014, two former NCDOT attorneys, Stan Abrams and Jason Campbell, gave free seminars in Matthews and Monroe, NC for property owners who would be affected by the Monroe Bypass. Three television stations and two newspapers attended.
Abrams and Campbell’s firm, the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm, is coming back to Monroe to host another seminar on Thursday, May 21st at 7pm at the Holiday Inn Express on Roosevelt Blvd.
According to Abrams, property owners are now in the stage where they’re receiving offers from the NCDOT, but these offers are not necessarily everything they’re entitled to.
“Homeowners receive a very official offer and think that is the ‘law’ for what they are able to receive,” Abrams said. “If an offer has been made, you may be able to get a more complete and satisfactory offer through reappraisal and negotiations. That’s what we’ll teach property owners about in our seminar.”
Learning to Negotiate with the NCDOT
According to the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm, the Monroe Bypass is somewhat of an anomaly based on the amount of times it has started and been stopped through various litigation. As a result, they feel many property owners may not be fully prepared, as Campbell stated in his blog, “Will the Monroe Bypass Really Happen?”
“Many people have been hurt by this project,” Campbell said. “And some may believe the agency is trying to minimize the impacts on their property in an attempt to pay them as little as possible – for instance, scooting right-of-way lines back, so very little land is being taken, but now their house or land will sit next to a freeway that, in some instances will be as high as 30 feet in the air.”
At their seminar, Campbell said property owners will gain valuable information – such as how property owners may be able collect the government’s first offer, without technically accepting it, so they have some money to use while negotiating for more. They will also be available to answer questions about individual properties and situations afterwards.
Other topics for the seminar include:
- How NCDOT offers are calculated
- What is “fair market value”?
- What if space is leased? Will there be any relocation benefits?
- How can I know if the offer for my property is fair?
