Tresspassing Lawyers

South Carolina Real Estate Law

South Carolina Trespass Law protects home and property owners against the unauthorized use of their property. The Law Office of James R. Snell, Jr., LLC, provides real estate litigation services in and around Lexington and Columbia South Carolina to those bringing or defending against trespass claims.

We help property owners who have suffered as a result of the use of their property without their consent. Whether the illegal use is committed by a neighbor, governmental or commercial entity we are able to help by taking full advantage of local, state and federal laws. Frequently our office is contacted by property owners after finding that the local police or land use authorities are unable, or unwilling to assist them.

Property owners, and others in legal possession, can bring a legal action for trespass in the event that there is any intentionally and unauthorized entry into their property. In a legal action for trespass the person bringing the claim may ask for either injunctive relief, monetary relief or both. Injunctive relief would be a Court order barring future unauthorized entries. Monetary relief may include punitive damages.
