Charles D. Crossfield, a partner in the firm, has over 20 years’ experience in municipal law and has represented Williamson County, Texas for 43 years.  Charlie’s expertise in right-of-way acquisition has involved him in literally hundreds of eminent domain cases over the years with roughly 20-30 of those matters per year going to the administrative level of the Special Commissioners Hearings.  In all cases, the matters have been resolved with the city and county acquiring the land and a settlement price being reached between the parties.
