Acquisitions, Relocations, and Eminent Domain
There are few, if any, other consultants who can take you entirely through the acquisition process from the project's beginning to end. Our experienced attorney and non-attorney professional staff allows us to provide competitive costs.
We understand that if you alienate the public as a result of your acquisitions, you hinder your ability to secure political support, risk losing future funding sources, and end up paying more by fighting with your own residents.
Acquisitions
Rinke Noonan assists all types of government agencies, including Counties, Cities, Housing and Redevelopment Authorities, and Watershed Districts, with property acquisitions. Local government agencies need not spend their valuable and limited time attempting to reinvent the wheel acquiring property. Rinke Noonan provides complete acquisition services. We work with engineers and other staff to determine which properties should be acquired and the extent of the acquisition. We complete the field title work to determine the owners and occupants of the properties. We meet with owners and occupants early on in the project, providing invaluable citizen communication. We coordinate hiring of appraisers, environmental and other consultants. During the entire process we keep you fully informed and involved. We negotiate acquisitions in a matter that treats property owners with respect and fairness.
Relocations
If residential, agricultural, or commercial occupants are being relocated as a result of the acquisition, Rinke Nooonan provides all the necessary relocation benefits and services required by state and federal law. We have vast experience in dealing with the intricacies of the relocation rules and regulations. We keep you ahead of the game when it comes to ensuring compliance with legal and funding requirements. Our approach to relocation provides residents and businesses with the critical information and assistance they need.
Eminent Domain
For those times when a negotiated acquisition is just not possible, Rinke Noonan provides the complete service which others rarely can. Rinke Noonan has been working in the area of eminent domain for 40 years. We are widely experienced in representing governmental agencies in the acquisition of all types of properties and property interests, ranging from drainage easements to multi-tenant commercial buildings. Our knowledge and experience with eminent domain allow us to fairly and reasonably estimate litigation costs when negotiating on the front end. In addition, because we understand the process, we can stand our ground on fair and reasonable offers.
