Our city tried to use eminent domain to condemn a small oil change business in order to sell the land to a developers.

The real racket in California is "special taxing districts." They can "redevlop" an area, using eminent domain, special taxes, and make local zoning changes, all with little oversight. They are a law unto themselves, set up by the politicians who appoint the board that runs them. The graft and corruption is enormous.

The business owners needed to get their own lawyers. I think there are foundations willing to take these cases pro bono, conservative versions of the ACLU.

But even the ACLU won't take a case pro bono if the litigant has the money to pay. They will act as amicus curia.

I belong to the Federalist Society, if I needed help with a case involving eminent domain I'd turn to them and ask for advice.
