Helping Landowners across Texas obtain adequate compensation for their land
All Federal, State, and local governments have the power of eminent domain. This means a government entity can take a citizen’s land as long as it has a necessary and legitimate public use for the land. Likewise, certain private entities have been granted the power of eminent domain because that entity provides a service that affects the welfare of the public. Examples include: power/telephone companies and water and gas pipeline companies. The legal process used by the government to take land in this manner is called Condemnation. The 5th Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees its citizens be paid adequate compensation when the government or a private company with the power of eminent domain seeks to take that citizen’s land for public use. Likewise, the Texas Constitution also provides this same guarantee to its citizens. Russ Baker is dedicated to helping Texas landowners protect their constitutional right to adequate compensation when a government entity takes land through its power of eminent domain. Mr. Baker stands ready to stand up for your rights and fight to get the compensation you deserve for your land. Mr. Baker’s experience with the Condemnation process and his trial experience make him uniquely suited to effectively and competently represent landowners in condemnation proceedings. Mr. Baker meets with clients regularly at his primary office in McKinney, Texas. However, Mr. Baker is also willing to come to you to discuss your case and evaluate the piece of property you are working hard to protect. Mr. Baker’s willingness to travel across Texas in order to meet with potential clients is due to the fact that he believes an attorney representing a landowner should always visit and inspect the piece of property being subjected to condemnation proceedings.
