Eminent Domain

Real Property Disputes

Bybee & Tibbals, LLC is a real property litigation firm dedicated to representing landowners in eminent domain and other complex real estate disputes.

What We Do
We protect landowners by defending Constitutional rights to just compensation when a government entity takes property directly through the power of condemnation or indirectly through inverse condemnation or regulation. We are result-driven trial lawyers experienced in property valuation, land use regulation, and other issues relating to real property.

Real Property

From historic downtown parcels to coastal acreage, we represent owners whose land is targeted for taking — whether by direct condemnation or by regulation that strips its value.

Real Problems

Pipeline easements, road widenings, drainage takings, riparian disputes, zoning denials. Each case demands evidence, valuation expertise, and the willingness to try it.

Outcomes

Real Solutions

We measure success in dollars recovered, parcels preserved, and precedent set. Our practice is narrow on purpose so our work runs deep.
