Why Jacksonville Landowners Trust Papalas & Griffith
When your land is targeted for a highway, pipeline, or public project, you deserve more than just an offer—you deserve real advocacy.
- We only represent landowners. Never government agencies. That means no conflicts and no compromises.
- You won’t pay us out of pocket. Under Florida law, the government pays your legal fees. Our clients keep the full amount of their settlement or award.
- We consistently deliver better outcomes. In one Clay County case, the initial offer was $404,450. We secured $2,050,000—over a 500% increase.
- You’ll work directly with experienced attorneys. Not handed off to junior staff or shuffled between departments.
- We know Florida law and Florida roads. From Jacksonville and Tallahassee to towns along I-10 and neighborhoods like Riverside, Ortega, and Lakeside, we understand the local impact of state projects.
We Focus Exclusively on Eminent Domain & Property Rights in
Jacksonville
Eminent domain cases in Jacksonville often involve FDOT projects along I-95, I-295, and the Arlington Expressway, as well as developments near the St. Johns River and Downtown Jacksonville. Our team works closely with property owners to contest low offers, document all compensable damages, and ensure they receive the full compensation they deserve when their land or business is impacted by these large-scale infrastructure improvements.
We represent clients in:
- Highway and road expansion projects
- Pipeline and utility easements
- Commercial and industrial takings
- Partial takings and severance damage claims
- Business losses tied to eminent domain
- Inverse condemnation when the government damages property without formal notice
If you’ve received a notice—or heard your land might be affected—you don’t have to go through it alone.
