Eminent Domain Attorney Loudoun County VA | Government Property Seizure Defense
You’ve spent years building your life, your business, or your land, and suddenly the government decides they want it.
Whether it’s for a new road, utility project, or redevelopment plan, they send a letter saying your property is in the way.
But here’s what they won’t tell you: you can fight back.
I’m Anthony I. Shin, and I represent property owners in Loudoun County who are facing eminent domain and government takings.
At Shin Law Office, I challenge unjust seizures, demand fair compensation, and, in many cases, stop the condemnation process altogether.
What Is Eminent Domain—and How Do I Challenge It?
Eminent domain is the government’s power to take private property for public use.
But that power isn’t unlimited.
Under Virginia law and the U.S. Constitution, you are entitled to:
- A legitimate public purpose behind the taking
- Advance notice and due process
- Just compensation that reflects your land’s full market value
- The right to contest whether the taking is even necessary
That’s where I come in.
I Don’t Let the Government Lowball You
Most property owners are unaware that the government’s initial offer is often unfair.
I work with appraisers, engineers, and development experts to determine the true value of your land, including its future potential use, business disruption, and improvements that enhance your property’s worth.
I’ve challenged takings involving:
- Road and highway expansions
- Utility easements and pipelines
- School and municipal projects
- Commercial redevelopment and rezoning
- Partial land seizures that devalue the rest of your property
If the government is taking your land, I make sure they pay you what it’s really worth—or fight to stop them altogether.
Keep Your Land. Or Maximize What You’re Owed.
Not every eminent domain case ends in a forced sale.
I’ve stopped taking those that lacked a proper public purpose, were overly broad, or violated procedural law.
And when a taking can’t be stopped, I negotiate aggressively to secure every dollar you deserve.
You shouldn’t be punished for owning land the government suddenly wants. Let me defend your rights, your equity, and your property.
“The Constitution gives the government power to take land—but it also gives you the right to fight back. I make sure you do.”
