My buddy in Mayes County, Oklahoma is facing a frustrating situation with a neighbor who has been dumping trash on their property. I'm looking for a qualified real estate attorney who can help them:
Force the neighbor to remove the trash
Cover the cleanup costs
Pay for a land survey to clearly define property lines
Does anyone have recommendations for an attorney with experience in these types of disputes within Mayes County? Any insights you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
@Ben Omonira, I don't understand how a lawyer will help much with these things.
If I was your buddy, I would pay myself to get a survey done if there is a dispute about the property line. Its the owner's responsibility to protect their own property rights.
Install cameras to catch any dumping activities and then report to police who should issue fines, make arrests, etc. If arrests are made your buddy's cleanup costs might be court ordered and collected by the court as restitution for the damage. Otherwise, the criminal case can serve as evidence in suing them in small claims court.
