What Is a Boundary Dispute?

A boundary dispute occurs when two neighboring property owners disagree over the location of the dividing line between their properties. Common causes include:

• Misplaced fences, walls, or driveways

• Conflicting legal descriptions in deeds

• Errors in surveys or plat maps

• Use or possession of land beyond the deeded boundary

• Adverse possession claims or prescriptive use

We work with licensed surveyors, title companies, and expert witnesses to clarify property lines, defend your legal rights, and pursue resolution through negotiation or court action.

What Is Easement Litigation?

An easement grants one party the legal right to use another’s property for a specific purpose—such as access, utilities, or drainage. Disputes may arise when:

• A property owner blocks or interferes with an easement

• An easement is not properly recorded or described

• The scope of use exceeds what was granted

• A prescriptive or implied easement is claimed through long-term use

• A utility company or municipality oversteps its easement rights

Our attorneys represent property owners, HOAs, developers, and utility easement holders in both asserting and defending easement rights across Florida.
