Mr. Day helps his clients – public entities, transportation agencies, publicly regulated utilities, and private business owners – resolve eminent domain and complex business disputes throughout Southern California. The majority of the public projects on which he has worked have been large-scale and linear in nature, resulting in multi-million dollar challenges and claims that increase in complexity and scope as the project proceeds. His complex business litigation cases have been similarly intertwined with complicated issues featuring dense fact patterns that he must compress to their essence when presenting to the jury. Mr. Day has worked on a variety of public projects, including roadway realignments, subterranean pipelines, public transportation facilities, school campus acquisitions and the infrastructure and property rights necessary for the development, production and transmission of renewable energies throughout the state. He has experience in all phases of public projects and heavily-litigated eminent domain actions, including pre-project planning and acquisition, early project implementation, and all aspects of eminent domain and inverse condemnation trial work. In each case, he approaches the situation with the end result in mind – to resolve the matter in a way that aligns with his client’s business and strategic objectives.
