The Fixel Law Firm - Tallahassee, FL

Protecting Property Owners Rights

The Fixel Law Firm is a boutique legal practice in Tallahassee, Florida, with a singular and powerful focus: Eminent Domain. For over five decades, this firm has stood as a bulwark for property owners and businesses facing condemnation by government authorities and utility companies. Unlike general practice firms, The Fixel Law Firm dedicates its entire practice to this complex niche, ensuring that clients receive the highest level of expertise. Whether it is a road widening project or a utility easement, they fight to ensure that 'full compensation' means exactly that.

Exclusive Eminent Domain Practice

The firm's expertise is deep and specialized, covering all aspects of property taking:

• Condemnation Defense: Representing owners when the government seeks to acquire private property for public use.
• Business Damages: Securing compensation for the impact of takings on ongoing business operations and profitability.
• Inverse Condemnation: Advocating for owners whose property value has been destroyed by government action without formal taking.
• Right of Way Disputes: Negotiating modifications to construction plans to preserve access and drainage.
• Valuation Contests: challenging lowball government appraisals to secure fair market value.

Decades of Proven Results

Led by Joe W. Fixel and William A. Fixel, the firm has handled over 3,000 claims. One of the most important aspects for clients is that, under Florida law, the condemning authority is often required to pay the property owner's attorney fees and costs. This means you can often hire an attorney to defend your property rights without depleting your compensation. If you urgently need a lawyer to stop a taking or maximize your payout, The Fixel Law Firm offers a free consultation to review your case. Located on Gadsden Street, they are ready to put their 50 years of experience to work for you.
