Tree Law and Good Neighbor Law Information - Nationwide Representation

  Arboriculture law, also known as tree law, has a significant impact on the shaping of American communities.  We help people understand the rights and responsibilities that go along with owning, managing and enjoying trees, parks and natural areas.  We help people access tree law and neighbor law information throughout the United States.  This information is intended to help individuals, utility companies, certified arborists, consulting arborists, and others to manage their responsibilities in tree law. Tree and neighbor law affects everyone from property owners with overhanging trees to urban foresters responsible for maintaining a healthy and safe tree system in their community.

  Arboriculture law varies from state to state. Tree law issues vary from adverse possession and boundary line encroachments to dangerous trees and limbs and improper trimming to maintaining nuisances.  These issues may be handled very differently in California than they are in Florida.   Attorney Victor D. Merullo is a leading author and lecturer in the field of arboriculture law. Treeandneighborlaw.com has extensive experience in tree law and neighbor law. Since 1975, we have worked to provide people with the tree law and neighbor law  information they need to work through liability concerns, disputes, and other legal requirements that attend managing trees and liivng in harmony with neighbors.

   We provide our members accurate and timely information about arboriculture law in each of the 50 states, with reference to the cases and statutes in which the law is established and applied.  A sample of our state summaries, this one for Ohio, is available for viewing without membership here:
