Our Verification Process and CriteriaAdverse possession occurs when a trespasser gains legal ownership of someone else’s property. That can happen in several ways under the law. The trespasser may merely occupy the land, such as a building belonging to a trespasser that has been on his neighbor’s property for a long time, by mistake, or other circumstances also can become adverse possession.
No matter how adverse possession occurs, it is in your best interest to consult a Madison lawyer who has handled adverse possession cases. The lawyer can assess the circumstances of the adverse possession to determine under the law if you have a case.
In legal practice, experience matters. An experienced attorney will likely have handled issues similar to yours many, many times. Therefore, after listening to your situation, the attorney should have a reasonable idea of the time line for a case like yours and the likely resolution.
Prepare for your consultation by writing down notes of your understanding of the case, jot down questions and concerns for the attorney, and gather your documents. Remember that you are trying to get a sense of whether the attorney has your trust and can help you address your legal issues. Questions should include how the attorney intends to resolve your issue, how many years he/she has been practicing law and specifically practicing in your area, as well as how many cases similar to yours the attorney has handled. It can also be helpful to broach the subject of fees so that you understand the likely cost and structure of your representation by a specific attorney and/or legal team.
Experience. Regardless of the type of legal matter you need help with, an experienced attorney will usually be able to get you better results.
Competence. Determine an attorney’s expertise by asking about their track record for the issue you need help with resolving.
Fit. There are plenty of good attorneys out there; make sure you find one you are comfortable working with.
