Lawyer well-versed in neighbor disputes

[hahathor.livejournal.com]

I'm having some issues with my neighbors about use of a shared private way. I've been trying for several years to have a civil conversation with them about how we can best utilize our shared property so that we both can get the use we want out of it. However, they have become increasingly hostile toward me & it is getting to the point where it is difficult if not impossible for me to access my property, and damage has been done to both my house & my vehicle. I don't particularly want to bring this to court, but it's really getting intolerable, and I'm hoping that a lawyer might be able to provide some advice on the best way to handle this. The few real-estate lawyers I have contacted deal primarily with closings, and I think I need some one with direct experience in neighbor disputes.

Recommendations gladly accepted.

Hmm, his site suggests that he's dealing almost exclusively with tenant/landlord issues. That's something I've fortunately never had to deal with; I have had consistently wonderful tenants, and they've always been happy us. But I'll keep him in mind if things change, and maybe I'll contact him if I can't find someone with more direct expertise.

I would suggest calling him, explaining the problem, and if it's not something he can deal with just ask him to refer you to somebody. If he doesn't handle issues like this then he probably ends up making a lot of referrals and is likely to know who is good.
