Protecting Your Property Rights Against Eminent Domain Abuses

Eminent domain is the government’s legal power to take private property for public use. However, property owners are entitled to fair compensation, and in some cases, the designation of land for public use can be challenged. The process typically involves condemnation, appraisal, and an offer from the government to purchase the property. If the government’s offer is unsatisfactory or your property was improperly designated for public use, you have the right to take legal action.

At Ferikes Bleynat & Cannon, we aggressively protect clients from eminent domain and condemnation abuses. Whether you’re seeking to halt the eminent domain process or ensure you receive just compensation, our attorneys are dedicated to defending your property rights.

Defending Your Home from Wrongful Foreclosure

Facing foreclosure can be overwhelming, but there are legal strategies that can protect your home. At Ferikes Bleynat & Cannon, we help homeowners who are at risk of losing their homes due to unforeseen financial challenges. We ensure that lenders comply with their legal duties and explore all possible solutions to prevent wrongful foreclosure. If selling your home is a better option, we guide you toward the most favorable outcome.

Some methods we use to protect homeowners include:

• Mortgage modification: Adjusting the terms of your mortgage to make payments more manageable.
• Loan forbearance: Temporarily suspending or reducing mortgage payments to help you regain financial stability.
• Short sale: Selling your home for less than the mortgage balance to avoid foreclosure.
• Deed in lieu of foreclosure: Transferring ownership of the property to the lender to avoid the foreclosure process.
• Lawsuit: Filing legal action to challenge wrongful foreclosure or lender misconduct.

Our attorneys are committed to defending your right to keep your home, combining innovative strategies with determined advocacy to achieve the best possible results.

Resolving Real Estate Disputes Through Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to methods of settling disputes outside of the courtroom, including arbitration and mediation. Some contracts require binding arbitration or nonbinding mediation to resolve disputes that arise from real estate transactions. In cases where litigation may be too costly or time-consuming, ADR can be a more efficient and effective solution.

At Ferikes Bleynat & Cannon, we represent clients in ADR proceedings, ensuring that their interests are fully protected. Our skilled negotiators work to achieve favorable settlements, helping to resolve disputes without the need for lengthy court battles.
