[WSBARP] Waste Statute of Limitations- Exceptions

[Dave B]

Indeed, I already have and was told there's not really anyone who
specializes in waste/timber trespass of that nature. One attorney I've
contacted was very interested, but seems to not have read the statutes they
quoted in reply (not recognizing the waste statute allows trebel damages),
though they did seem to agree about the statute of limitations. The best
recommendation I got was for an attorney representing my neighbor I'm
already having a dispute with... So I'm feeling kind of stuck now.
