You’ve lived next to your neighbor for years and share a common boundary, marked by a fence erected years before either of you moved in. One day, you and your family decide to install a swimming pool.

By approaching these issues with open communication, respect, and a willingness to find mutually beneficial solutions, homeowners can navigate boundary disputes more effectively.

Resolving a boundary dispute with your neighbor can be a complex process, but taking the right steps can help facilitate a fair and peaceful resolution. Here are some essential steps to consider:

As long as I can remember, I have been inspired by courtroom drama. The story, regardless of who was fighting and for what cause, always came down to the very basic human traits of greed, jealousy, vengeance, deceit, ego, and pride. The skilled lawyer, always a good listener, could always find the heart of the case and convey it simply and eloquently to the jury and help the jury reach a just verdict. Read more here.
