Mark Merrell

Practice Areas

Mark Merrell practices exclusively in the area of eminent domain and condemnation law. He began his career at an international law firm representing governmental and public-use entities acquiring property and rights of way for large scale infrastructure projects. Mark now focuses on representing the interests of property owners facing these issues, and his experience having been on the other side has proved invaluable in advising his landowner clients and positioning their claims for maximum recovery.

Mark advises clients during all stages of the condemnation journey, from evaluating an initial offer to preparing for and navigating a jury trial. He has handled hundreds of cases involving the full spectrum of public use projects: from TXDOT road widenings to oil and gas pipeline takings and everything in between.

Prior clients have included Fortune 500 companies; large real estate developers, special-purpose entities, and countless small business owners. Mark's representation has resulted in the recovery of tens of millions of dollars in additional compensation for his clients.
