Nor Shall Private Property Be Taken For Public Use, Without Just Compensation
- The 5th Amendment, U.S. Constitution

Compensation for Property and Business Losses


The Missouri and United States Constitutions guarantee that property will not be taken for public use without “just compensation.” If your property will be condemned, or taken by the state, city or municipality, the government must pay you for your loss. Even if only a portion of your land is taken by the government, you are still entitled to payment for the portion taken — it is your constitutional right. At Denlow & Henry, our lawyers help Missouri property owners protect their constitutional rights and obtain just compensation for the loss of their properties.

Determining Your Compensation

There are a number of considerations when valuing property:

Protecting Your Property Rights Means Full Compensation for Your Losses

Protecting our clients’ constitutional property rights means that our clients get fair and just compensation for the property taken and the damages caused by eminent domain. We take on the burden of building the best case to maximize our client’s compensation as well as to challenge the eminent domain when necessary.

It is important that you contact an experienced eminent domain attorney as soon as you learn that your property may be taken by the government.
