Road Closure – Condemnation Law Attorneys Myrtle Beach – Conway

When a government entity or public authority moves to close a road, restrict access, or condemn private property for public use, the impact on landowners can be significant. These actions can reduce property value, alter access, disrupt business operations, or even result in the forced sale of your land. At The Pearce Law Group, P.C., our attorneys represent property owners, developers, HOAs, and businesses in Myrtle Beach, Conway, and throughout the Grand Strand in all matters involving road closures, right-of-way issues, eminent domain, and condemnation.

We ensure your rights are protected, your voice is heard, and you receive the full compensation the law allows.

Protecting Property Owners in Road Closure – Access Disputes

Road closures—temporary or permanent—can have serious consequences for landowners. Whether initiated by a municipality, county, SCDOT, or utility provider, these actions often affect property values, traffic flow, access to businesses or development sites, ingress/egress rights, emergency access, and neighboring easements or shared driveways.

Our attorneys help clients understand their rights and pursue remedies through negotiation, administrative proceedings, or litigation. We assist with opposing or modifying planned road closures, challenging closures that restrict access, easement enforcement or relocation, negotiating alternative routes, and compensation claims related to closures or detours.

Litigation When Property Rights Are at Stake

If a public agency or developer harms your property rights, litigation may be necessary. Our firm handles condemnation trials, valuation hearings, administrative appeals, access litigation, inverse condemnation suits, and declaratory judgment actions.

Eminent Domain & Condemnation Representation

We regularly represent clients before municipal and county planning boards, zoning commissions, and zoning appeals boards across Horry County. Our attorneys understand how to navigate the administrative and political processes that drive development approvals in South Carolina.

When disputes arise, we make every effort to resolve them during the administrative phase—but when litigation becomes necessary, our team brings the experience and creativity required to protect your property rights and development goals.

Government entities may acquire private property for public use, but the Constitution requires just compensation. We represent owners in all phases of condemnation, including pre-condemnation negotiations, valuation disputes, business interruption issues, partial takings, inverse condemnation, and public infrastructure projects.

Inverse Condemnation & Regulatory Takings

Sometimes government actions damage property or restrict its use without filing a formal condemnation. We handle cases involving flooding, loss of access, zoning restrictions, infrastructure failures, and long-term utility disruptions.
