J.C. WILSON & ASSOCIATES, P.A.

Our Orange County law firm — J.C. Wilson & Associates, P.A. — was founded in 1991 to protect the rights of property owners. J. Christy Wilson III leverages over 25 years experience to achieve the best possible results for our clients.

Eminent domain has become an increasingly specialized area of law, requiring specific legal knowledge as to statutes, the appraisal process, the zoning/land use/development approval process, case law and court procedures. With a focus exclusively on eminent domain, we have developed the in-depth knowledge necessary to achieve the best possible results for our clients. Our attorneys have authored condemnation-related articles in professional publications and are requested to speak on eminent domain-related issues at bar conferences and seminars.

In addition to his work as a lawyer, attorney Christy Wilson III is a certified mediator. We have the capacity to mediate civil cases, especially property-related matters.
