For Experienced Counsel in a Challenging Area of the Law, Contact Our Wilmington Annexation Lawyer
If you read or listen to the news, you know that annexation is a highly controversial topic in North Carolina. It is a practice commonly used by a municipality to grow its tax base by annexing unincorporated or outlying areas. Sometimes the annexation is voluntary, allowing developers or residents to take advantage of municipal services they do not otherwise receive.
Forced annexation, however, is often viewed as an unwelcome and unnecessary takeover in which the loss of identity and increase in taxes usually does not correspond with the municipal services received in return. With over a decade of hands-on experience in both challenging and implementing annexations, attorney James Eldridge is uniquely positioned to be of service in this challenging area of the law.
