Bill Sanders“Stephanie, George and Brady have represented me for twelve years, on several significant condemnation cases: two with NCDOT involving road projects; and two with Progress Energy and City of Fayetteville for utility easements. Three years ago, they helped me recover more than three times the DOT’s initial offer. They didn’t just win the cases, though; they helped me anticipate and deal with problems, like how each case would affect the next one, how to deal with environmental issues and how to get concessions that would help me develop my property in the future.”
