Firm successfully litigates six eminent domain cases against the West Virginia Department of Transportation, including a multi-day jury trial.

CHARLES TOWN, WEST VIRGINIA. – November 17, 2025 – Campbell Flannery, P.C. today announced the successful conclusion of six complex condemnation actions on behalf of local landowners against the West Virginia Department of Transportation (“WVDOT”). The cases, all related to the U.S. 340 widening project in Jefferson County, West Virginia, resulted in the firm securing a total of $1,143,100 in additional compensation for its clients. The firm’s primary litigation team for these actions included attorneys Jim Campbell and Dan Casto, who were supported by paralegal Lis Longmire.

The six cases involved significant litigation to protect the property rights of Jefferson County residents and businesses impacted by the major highway expansion. The $1,143,100 recovery represents compensation secured by the firm above and beyond the WVDOT’s initial offers.

The firm’s attorneys demonstrated their trial advocacy skills through rigorous legal battles. Two of the six cases saw full multi-day Land Commissioner’s hearings in the Jefferson County Circuit Court. One case progressed to a multi-day jury trial, also in Jefferson County Circuit Court, where the firm secured $462,500 in compensation above the WVDOT’s initial offer.

“Our constitutional system guarantees that when private property is taken for public use, the owner must receive ‘just compensation,'” said Jim Campbell, Managing Shareholder of Campbell Flannery, P.C. “We are proud to have protected our clients’ rights through complex hearings and a full jury trial, ensuring they were fairly compensated for their property.”

Campbell Flannery, P.C. Shareholder Dan Casto, co-counsel on the matters and a resident of Jefferson County, added, “This is an important, but disruptive highway project. It was a privilege to stand with our neighbors to ensure their rights were vigorously defended in court.”
