Tree Cutting Issues

Utility Companies 
  
Most people merely assume that when a utility company comes and cuts or trims trees around their house or on their property that the utility has some sort of easement or permit to do so.  Often the utility company assumes it does as well.  This may not be the case.  If you believe a utility company has cut or trimmed trees wrongfully on your property, schedule a free half hour consultation.  Michigan has a punitive damages statute that may allow you to collect up to three times the value of trees.  
   
  
Adjoining Landowner Cutting
  
We have also had several cases involving an adjacent landowner that has wrongfully cut trees on their neighbor's property.  Michigan has a punitive damages statute that may allow you to collect up to three times the value of trees which also applies to this scenario.
