A Turn Of Events
The family ended up hiring an arborist to see to determine the value of the trees they had lost as a way to make their neighbor admit his wrongdoings and pay up. Their trees were valued at a ridiculously high price as they were rare oak trees that took hundreds of years to grow.
Then the family hired an attorney, equipped him with all the knowledge they had, and told him about the overhanging bill left by the council to clean up the road. It was then that he told Michael how much he could sue his neighbor’s company for.
