Timonthy the fence was put up in 03 although we kept telling him it was on our property he didn't care. we then spent 850.00 to get a survey- thinking that-that was enough we went to the first hearing at the zoning office in Oct.- although he didn't get a permit they made him pay for one. and let him keep the fence-they can rule 3 ways-make you take down the fence-put the fence up to regulations or keep the fence under certain conditions-like get it off our property. he got to keep the fence- Although he knew we had the survey the comm. stated he doesn't deal with that issue and stated since we are neighbors we should try and work it out- the comm. could have made him move it. I get the feeling since the fence is already up no-one wants to make him move it. I then spent another 300 in appeals and 1,000 for a lawyer. all for a fence- all this takes time as you can see we are now in 05 I'm scared to death to hire another lawyer and yes I did fire Mr. Politzer right after the hearing. All the lawyers want 1000-1500 up front. after I've been burned how do I know I'll get what I've paid for. and isn't that alot of money to get a fence off of someones property. Micheal- in one of your e-mails you stated I could go to Marylands website-which site is that? that gives me alot of information. also about the Ins. I got that info from my lawyer at the time who got if from their lawyer, so I guess it's not ins. fraud unless they were just trying to intimadate me. anyway I'll keep you posted as I find out what to do. I might wait until I get the zoning laws and then not only make him get the fence off our property but put it where it should go. in refence to the property line. Hopefully I find out soon I'll let you know if anything changes-if you don't hear anything from me it's because I don't know anything yet. it's funny i only used the computer once in a while and I never have communicated with anyone on line- I got the rip-off site going to file a greviance about our lawyer, not only did they give me the form to fill out, but linked me to rip-off-that's how I found out about it. I've read other complaints and one I can relate to is the merging of AT&T to Cingular. Talk to you in the future.
