Land Condemnation Cases:

Jeff Peraldo represented a family whose vacant land had been condemned by the local airport for an airport expansion project. The airport offered the family $62,500 for the land, which was rejected, making litigation over the value of the land necessary. The law firm retained experts who valued the land for an amount far above the airport's offer. The case was settled at mediation for a sum representing nearly twice the airport's initial offer.

Jeff Peraldo and co-counsel are currently representing the homeowners association for a large townhome development consisting of 106 individual townhomes. The North Carolina Department of Transportation condemned and took a portion of the common area property, for which some compensation was paid. Jeff Peraldo and co-counsel are currently representing the homeowners' association in its efforts to obtain additional compensation for the damages sustained by the association because of the taking of a portion of the common area property. Further, Jeff Peraldo and co-counsel won an order in the trial court compelling the North Carolina Department of Transportation to join all 106 townhome owners to the case so their individual damages claims could be heard. This was accomplished by showing that the individual property owners possessed uncompensated property interests because of the taking of a portion of the common area property. The North Carolina Department of Transportation has appealed this order and the appeal is currently pending.

Jeff Peraldo has also successfully represented many other individuals and families whose home and land have been taken for highway and other public projects. In every instance, the firm has been able to recover for the clients more money than had been offered by the condemning authorities for the properties taken.
