Protecting Your Property Rights When Disagreements Arise

Real property disputes strike at the heart of something deeply personal — your home, your land, or your long-held expectations about what belongs to you. When a disagreement arises over boundaries, easements, or property use, it can create stress, tension with neighbors, financial uncertainty, and in some cases, the loss of valuable land. At Laxson Law, I help property owners throughout Pulaski and Middle Tennessee navigate these complex disputes with clarity and determination. Whether you are dealing with a survey conflict, access issue, or a disagreement passed down through generations, I work to resolve the matter in a way that protects both your rights and your peace of mind.

Understanding the Root of the Conflict

Real property disputes often begin long before the parties realize something is wrong. Old surveys, unclear deeds, misunderstood verbal agreements, and changes in land use can all contribute to conflicts that come to light only when someone builds a fence, sells property, or attempts to use a roadway they’ve always believed they had access to. My first step is to carefully evaluate the history of the property, the documents involved, and the actions of each party over time. By understanding how the issue arose, I can begin building a strategy that supports your legal position while identifying the most effective path toward resolution.

Finding Practical Solutions Before Conflicts Escalate

Not every property dispute needs to become a lawsuit. Many disagreements can be resolved through negotiation, mutual agreements, or clarifying documentation. When possible, I work to find solutions that allow neighbors or family members to settle their differences without long-term hostility. I review surveys, property descriptions, easements, and deeds to help both sides understand the factual and legal realities of the situation. When necessary, I bring surveyors, title professionals, or other experts into the conversation to ensure the information guiding our decisions is accurate and reliable. My goal is always to reach a solution that protects your property rights while avoiding unnecessary conflict.

Standing Up for You When Litigation Becomes Necessary

Unfortunately, some disputes cannot be resolved through informal means. If the other party refuses to cooperate, denies your rights, or continues to interfere with your lawful use of your property, litigation may be the only option. I represent property owners in court and present evidence that supports your claim — whether that means proving the correct boundary line, establishing your right to use an easement, or challenging an improper claim being made by a neighbor or adjoining landowner. I prepare thoroughly, ensuring that maps, surveys, expert findings, and historical documents are organized and presented clearly to strengthen your case before a judge.

Protecting Your Ability to Use, Access, and Enjoy Your Land

Your property is more than a plot of land — it affects your daily life, your financial security, and often your long-term plans for your family. Disputes over boundaries and easements can disrupt everything from construction projects to agricultural operations. They can interfere with access to your home, limit how you use your land, or diminish the value of the property you’ve invested in. My job is to ensure that your rights are enforced, your access is protected, and your land remains secure. I take these cases seriously because the outcome has lasting consequences for you and potentially future generations.

Working With Property Owners Across Middle Tennessee

Real property issues arise in both rural and residential areas, and Middle Tennessee has a long history of family land, inherited property, and boundary lines shaped by generations. These disputes can be emotionally charged and legally complex. I help clients throughout the region understand their rights and navigate conflicts with confidence. For those unable to meet in person due to work schedules or transportation limitations, I offer remote consultations and digital support to make the process as accessible as possible.

How I Help Resolve Real Property Disputes

Boundary Lines

I review surveys, deeds, historical documents, and physical markers to determine the correct boundary and enforce your rights. If litigation becomes necessary, I present evidence that clearly outlines the legal property line and defend your interest in the disputed area.

Easements

Whether you have an easement across another person’s land or someone is claiming access through yours, I help clarify the nature of the easement, evaluate its legality, and enforce or challenge it as appropriate. These cases often involve detailed factual and historical analysis, and I ensure every angle is considered.
