Bernadette Duran-Brown Email & Phone Number

I am an eminent domain and real estate litigation attorney primarily focusing on eminent domain, inverse condemnation, regulatory takings and valuation matters. I also have experience assisting clients with land use, entitlement matters, and landlord/tenant-related disputes. I have worked for some of the largest public agencies and projects in California, such as San Bernardino Associated Governments, San Diego Association of Governments, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, Exposition Metro Line Construction Authority, and Los Angeles Unified School District. I play an active role in project planning and implementation, from I have advised public agency clients on a variety of infrastructure improvements, such as roadways, railroads, schools, and flood control projects. My experience in project oversight and coordination ensures the necessary steps are taken to meet project construction schedules, thereby minimizing construction delays or the potential loss of project funding. My team's early involvement results in a high percentage of voluntary acquisitions at a significant cost savings, and where agreements with property owners cannot be reached, her agency clients see far fewer challenges to their right to take or their attempts to secure prejudgment possession.I also represent a broad-range of property and business owners in California, including Sprint/Nextel Corporation, T-Mobile, and Outback Steakhouse. I have experience litigating issues related to the acquisition of personal property and intangible rights, business goodwill claims, relocation issues, severance damages, precondemnation damages, entitlement and challenges to a project's environmental approvals.
