NC Law Firm Reaches out to Gastonia Residents Whose Property Will be Taken
Durham, NC (PRWEB) September 30, 2013 -- According to the Gaston Gazette, motorists are “pining for progress” regarding the four major road projects in Gastonia (“City to begin road-widening projects,” May 14, 2013).
However, as the NC Eminent Domain Law Firm points out, these projects come about at a price that is often very dear to home and business owners.
“Lopping off 10 to 30 feet of someone’s front yard can mean the difference between a major highway being at a comfortable distance from someone’s home or right at their front door,” said NC Eminent Domain attorney Stan Abrams. “Home and business owners have a lot to think about when it comes to these negotiations. So we’re happy to offer complimentary advice, for such an important project.”
Abrams said widening South New Hope Road to five lanes from Burtonwood Drive to Armstrong Park Drive/Garrison Boulevard/SR 2466 seems to be next on Gastonia’s list of projects and property owners will soon be receiving offers from the government, if they haven’t already.
Both Abrams and his colleague, Jason Campbell, are former North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) attorneys.
According to Campbell, “In cases like these, the DOT’s offers can often be much too low because appraisers are valuing a chunk of properties at the same time and may not recognize all the factors that may affect a single property. That’s where we may be able to help.”
Campbell says their firm uses what they call the “Second Check Method,” in which property owners may be able to collect the government’s first offer, without technically accepting it, and then continue negotiations. This allows home and business owners to get immediate compensation they may need for relocation and other purposes, but continue negotiations for the “true value” of their property.
