Timber Trespass
Timber trespass – a violation of one’s property that often goes unnoticed until it’s too late. At the Law Office of Douglas E. Wilson, we understand the emotional turmoil and financial loss that timber trespass can bring. The firm regularly represents victims of such acts.
Timber trespass involves the unauthorized cutting, removal, or damage to trees on another’s property. The effects are more than just an aesthetic loss – they can severely impact property values and potentially compromise safety and soil stability.
Take, for instance, our client from Kirkland. Her neighbor, without her permission, trimmed her trees, enabling an unwanted view into her backyard. Despite an initial settlement offer, she pursued justice. A jury awarded her over $200,000 for property damage and her personal losses.
Washington law is clear – if your trees have been damaged or removed without consent, you are entitled to seek compensation. Treble damages for timber trespass. Our state understands the significance of this issue, and so do we.
At the Law Office of Douglas E. Wilson, we navigate these complex laws with dedication and expertise. In another case, a resident hired a tree trimming company to damage a neighbor’s poplar tree in a slide zone, causing potential harm and property depreciation. The firm was instrumental in securing a settlement of over $200,000.
With the firm’s understanding of Washington’s timber trespass laws, diligent preparation, and commitment to each client, we consistently deliver exceptional outcomes, earning us a reputation of trust and success in the Seattle area.
