he right of eminent domain, i.e., the power to take private property for a public use upon payment of just compensation, is an inherent power of every sovereign. It is ancient in origin and its principles embedded in the constitutions of this state and country. From project inception and land valuation, through to superior court filing and final disposition, the California Eminent Domain Law (found in Title 7 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, commencing with section 1230.010, et. seq.) governs the process required to initiate and complete an acquisition by eminent domain. California condemnation law requires that several steps be completed to acquire property for a public purpose. Over the years, Fitzgerald Law Offices has developed and organized a condemnation plan which combines compliance with the Eminent Domain Law along with the particular requirements of the specific public entity, which can be tailored to fit individual projects and acquisitions, as well as more complex projects and acquisitions. Fitzgerald Law Offices is equipped to provide full service to its public entity clients from the commencement of a project through to its conclusion.
