What is the name of your state? Georgia
Last fall the power company (presumably) cut my large (over 10ft circumference) Willow Oak tree too far back from the power lines. In addition, they made the cuts in all the wrong places according to an ISA certified arborist I hired today. His opinion was it must have been a group of illegal mexican immigrants that did the work (because the power company usually knows better than that).
Furthermore, I have a decent size White Oak tree that is prized for its nice round shape and is the tree that coined the term "Mighty Oak". It is a very slow growing tree and can live nearly 1000 years. Those guys hacked the tree in the same fashion as the willow oak and very needlessly in my opinion.
1) Should (can) I take legal action against the power company?
2) Would there be enough money involved to make it worth any lawyer's time?
3) In the sea of lawyers in the phonebook, where would I find a lawyer to represent me?
Thanks
Randy
