Probably...it may be considered a nuisance and would cost thoursands of dollars....but before a lawyer would take his case, he would probably want a retainer to conduct research..Many suits are filed for waterflow, etc..and even for nuisances of neighbors actions....

You have a right to the airspace above your property. So, you might want to cut limbs crossing your property line. This may, however, cause you some trouble so you should consult with a local attorney in more detail before proceeding.
