When my woods was logged some 25 years ago, the logger cut three trees on a neighbors property. When I found out, I approached the neighbor, who said he was suing me, so don't try to settle out of court. The state law stipulates damages of three times the stumpage value, at DBH- 'Diameter- Breast Height', or about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. The value of the logs was $90 at the time, or $270. No question or arguement. He wanted $10,000. Just to finally get through it, the logger paid him $500, after his lawyer convinced him it was a better deal than he would get in court. But this didn't happen until he spent $250 on a forester, $250 for a survey, $25 to have an estimate to get the stump "grinned out", and what the lawyer didn't tell him- his fee. Best thing to do is to get an estimate of the value, ask for 3X damages and don't get fancy. It can cost more than it's worth.
