An experienced Pro to have on your side!
I'm very pleased with the job Chris Duerr did for me. I hired Chris back in 2019 to handle an eminent domain situation with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. He had proactively reached out to me with a letter of introduction due to his awareness of land seizures occurring in my area and ...
This was a partial residential taking by PennDOT related to the Rt 309 by pass project in Montgomery County. Not every case needs to be litigated. In this case PennDOT made an offer which after informal discussions with an appraiser was found to be very reasonable for the impacts. We negotiated an additional sum and were able to avoid additional litigation costs. Please feel free to call us to discuss your case at 215-628-2868

Penndot Condemnation
Chris was very helpful in navigating me thru the penndot condemnation process on rte 322 . Chris was always responsive and professional
This was a very complicated substantial partial taking of busy commercial property along Rt 322 in Delaware County. PennDOT was taking a large part of the parking for this facility outright and for a temporary construction easement lasting 3 years. We were able to obtain a substantial increase in the amount offered and avoid increased litigation costs. Please feel free to contact us to discuss your matter at 215-628-2868.”

Fine Job
Chris was diligent, he kept me informed every step of the process. He was very knowledgeable with regard to condemnation and how my property would be affected. Overall, he did a fine job of protecting my property interests and I would highly recommend him.
This was a partial taking condemnation case on the PennDOT State Route 322 corridor project.
