Q: Hello. I have an issue with my neighbor who is pushing me to remove healthy tall oak trees on my property.
Hello. I have an issue with my neighbor who is pushing me to remove healthy tall oak trees on my property. Neighbor is assuming that these trees are dangerous and can fall any time soon and present nuisance. I got verbal consultation from tree professional NJ licensed arborists. All of them agreed that the trees are healthy and do not present danger. The neighbor is threatening me with court and hired an attorney. What should i do?
A: Have the licensed arborists you consulted put into writing that the trees are healthy and do not present a danger. If you are contacted by the attorney, send that written opinion from the licensed arborists to the attorney and say you have no intention of removing healthy tall oak trees from your property.
A: For the time being, nothing. If you get contacted by an attorney, I would send him the reports that have evaluated the trees and then tell him not going to do a thing. If the attorney persists (which I find to be hard to believe) then you'll need to retain counsel.
