What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia. The EMC came by my lake cabin and cut and trimmed trees outside the EMC r/w. Now I have lost several trees and 2 large oaks have all the limbs cut off one side. When I called them and a supervisor came out he told me "well I can't put them back so tough luck". What are my recourses. Seems to me that is wrongful destruction of private property and is actionable. Help

**A: call the police, hire a certified arborist and sue for damages based on loss of property value.
