Resolving Property Disputes Between Neighbors
Many people are unclear as to exactly what the law does and does not allow them to do with their property. The local, state and federal government and various environmental agencies exercise a measure of control over the uses to which private owners put their property. When a dispute arises between owners of adjacent properties, it is important to seek the counsel of an experienced attorney who is highly knowledgeable in these issues.
Attorney Mike Simko's legal experience in private use restrictions and other land use matters has achieved a record of positive results for clients involved in property disputes, including:
- Disputes over shared driveways and private roads
- Encroachment by plants, trees or other landscaping
- New construction that blocks valuable views
- Waterfront boundary disputes
- Civil trespass
- Water runoff, drainage and flooding disputes
These issues will not simply go away of their own accord. Your only legal solution may be to hire a lawyer who will help you pursue a rapid and cost-effective resolution. Contact the Law Office of V. Michael Simko, Jr., LLC, in Shelton, Connecticut, to discuss your situation with a respected attorney.
Property Disputes Are Fact-Based Cases
In any property dispute between neighbors, there are some crucial facts you should gather. You need to know the legal owner of the adjoining property. You need to have their full legal name (or company name if it is a business).
You will also need to make an educated guess or informal estimate of what actual damages the disputed issue has caused. Damages may come in the form of lost monetary value of your property, the cost of repairing damage, restriction of your lawful private use, or encroachment.
Attorney Mike Simko takes a hands-on approach in these cases. He will conduct a first-hand investigation and work with experts who can provide professional analysis and witness testimony, should the dispute go to court.
