I do not recommend the lawyer Graham Carlton to anyone. He cost my neighbor and friend, who is in the middle of a colon cancer scare, to pay $600 because of his ignorance. He cut down branches on one side of his tree, causing the tree to lean towards my friend's house. Every few months, and every storm, it leaned closer.
