In these cases, Rob works with the client and engages a variety of expert witnesses to show how the property could have been developed in order to obtain just compensation. Rob has also represented property owners with the filing of de facto petitions to commence the condemnation process and preliminary objections to stop them. Rob also has extensive experience with the filing of claims for the recovery of delay compensation and attorney fees.
