Goldman Braunstein Stahler Kenter LLP – Columbus, OH

Protecting Ohio Landowners’ Rights

Goldman Braunstein Stahler Kenter LLP (GBSK) is a premier law firm in Columbus dedicated exclusively to representing landowners. Located in the Brewery District, the firm is the successor to Goldman & Braunstein, LLP, and carries forward a legacy of fighting for property rights against powerful government entities and large corporations. The partners-William Goldman (in memoriam), Michael Braunstein, Clinton Stahler, and Aaron Kenter-have built a reputation for leveling the playing field in complex eminent domain and property disputes.

Eminent Domain and Property Law

GBSK is one of the few firms in Ohio that focuses entirely on landowner advocacy. They do not represent the government or utility companies, ensuring there is never a conflict of interest. Their primary practice areas include:

• Eminent Domain: representing clients whose land is being taken for roads, pipelines, power lines, and public projects.
• Easement Negotiation: Securing fair terms and compensation for utility and energy easements.
• Zoning and Land Use: Assisting property owners with development, variances, and regulatory compliance.

Maximizing Compensation

When the government takes your land, they often offer less than it is worth. The attorneys at GBSK are experts in valuation and property law, often securing significantly higher compensation for their clients than the initial offer. If you need to find a lawyer to protect your family farm, commercial property, or home from seizure, GBSK offers the specialized knowledge required. They provide free consultations to review your case and explain your rights under Ohio law.
