Re: land onwer responsibility

If the person who cut the trees down did not have permission to do so and damaged property while cutting he is responsible for any damage.I may have an alternative solution to retaining an attorney to help with this and any other issues that may arise in the future. If you would like more information, please e-mail me and I will send it out to you.

Either way, I wish you good luck.
