At RightOfWay.law, a division of Pender & Coward, P.C., we provide legal services in all aspects of right-of-way work. Dave Arnold and Ross Greene are both experienced private practice attorneys who have made it their objective to fully understand the right of way process from start to the day the project is placed in service. They achieved their SR/WA designations from the International Right of Way Association and each has served as President of the Old Dominion Chapter of the IRWA. They can identify with each member of a project team and understand the challenges faced by all.

Clients within this field frequently share the same concerns: cost and perception. We strive to identify and resolve costly issues very early in the process, while they can still be addressed without protracted and expensive litigation. Moreover, the involuntary acquisition process can be controversial and divisive. We recognize the importance of bringing fairness and dignity to the process. Respect applies to all involved—to the established legal process and to those affected by it.

 

“The just compensation required by the Constitution to be made to the owner is to be measured by the loss caused to him by the appropriation. He is entitled to receive the value of what he has been deprived of, and no more. To award him less would be unjust to him; to award him more would be unjust to the public.”

Bauman v. Ross, 167 U.S. 548, 574, 17 S. Ct. 966, 976 (U.S. 1897).
