Represented one of the world's largest chains of office supply stores when Georgia Department of Transportation filed an eminent domain action to acquire property needed for a new bridge project near one of their offices. This action ultimately became the largest condemnation case in Georgia DOT history. Among the named condemnees was our client, which at the time operated its highest-grossing store in metro Atlanta. The condemnation effectively eliminated access to our client's store.  Our client took the position that the condemnation forced it to close its most profitable store in Atlanta and to open a replacement store in a less favorable location.  The Georgia DOT countered that our client would likely recoup most of its lost sales at other stores.  Following extensive discovery, mediation, and pretrial hearings the parties reached a settlement. Consent judgment was entered in favor of our client.
