PROTECTING THE MISSION

A historic church in Newport News had plans dating back decades to ensure that their mission continued.  But when VDOT decided to take a portion of the church’s land and change the property’s access, those plans were put at risk.  VDOT insisted that church was not harmed and offered only $96,000. Kaufman & Canoles provided in multiple motions, and pushed VDOT to the negotiating table, convincing VDOT that the church was owed $1.95 million, 1.85 million above VDOT’s offer.

PROTECTING THE BUSINESS

Building their successful beverage distribution company took decades, but it took VDOT no time at all to put that at risk.  VDOT took a portion of the company’s land, an access point for tractor trailers by installing a median in front of the property, and offered to pay $119,000.  Rather than pay just compensation, VDOT took the case to trial.  With Kaufman & Canoles’ help, the landowner prevailed, and the jury unanimously agreed with the landowner’s appraiser and awarded just compensation of $2,391.883, plus costs of $100,000.
