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.

I live on a private way and I'm not sure how the footage is divided up. The city plows (though I'm told they aren't supposed to?), but the plows have torn up the way and it is completely crumbling and turning into a dirt road with dangerous chunks of asphalt littering the way which get worse every week. My neighbors have no interest in contributing towards resurfacing. Will this just decompose forever? I really don't know where to go with it.
