Matthew W. Fellerhoff

Expert guidance through a complex property dispute

Our family-owned business faced a significant challenge when the city proposed a road expansion that would have taken a critical portion of our parking lot. We needed an attorney who understood both the legal intricacies and the practical impact on our operations. Matthew Fellerhoff at Strauss Troy was highly recommended for his work in eminent domain and land use law, and his recognition by Best Lawyers in those specific fields gave us confidence. From our first meeting in his Columbus office, he demonstrated a deep knowledge of Ohio property law and condemnation procedures. He patiently explained our rights and crafted a strategic approach that went beyond just fighting the taking; he negotiated for a redesign that minimized our loss and secured fair compensation. The process was stressful, but Matthew was a steady, knowledgeable advocate. While his expertise is undeniable, there were a few instances where response times to non-urgent emails could have been slightly quicker. Overall, his skillful negotiation saved our business considerable disruption and expense. We are very satisfied with the outcome and would confidently recommend him for any property or zoning issue.
