When You Retain an OCA Lawyer, You Get a Leader in the Field of Eminent Domain Law and the Support and Resources That Only OCA Membership Can Provide

Owners’ Counsel of America is the only organization comprised of skilled attorneys with significant experience and dedication to representing private landowners. The Owners’ Counsel of America network offers landowners a single source for locating an experienced condemnation attorney to assist with every stage of the eminent domain process – from pre-condemnation planning through litigation and appeal.

Our mission has been to bring together leading condemnation lawyers across the country who have demonstrated a commitment to defending the rights of private landowners. Since our founding over 20 years ago, Owners’ Counsel of America has sought to use its members’ combined knowledge and experience as a resource in the defense of private property ownership, and to make that opportunity available to property owners nationwide.

As members of OCA, our lawyers have access to the collective legal minds, experiences and know how of every other OCA lawyer. As a result, when you retain an OCA lawyer, not only are you getting a leader in the field of eminent domain and takings law, but someone who has the support and resources that only OCA membership can provide. We call it “Getting Two Advocates For One.”
