Criminal Defense Lawyer in Buford

Question: My father had a tractor parked on someone's elses property. A junk dealer had a tow truck pick up the tractor and he sold it for scrap metal. The junk dealer said that he bought the tractor from the land owner. My father does not know who the land owner was. The tractor broke down and he left it there until he could get someone to pick it up but the junk man had it picked up before Daddy did. Can you please tell me what law this breaks and where to begin on getting restitution for the tractor?

Answer: Your father committed a trespass. It would have been impossible to leave the broken tractor on property that he did not unlawfully enter. After your father unlawfully entered someone's else's property without permission, he used that property as a parking lot. Once the property owner observed the broken tractor on his land, I suspect he called the tow man to remove it. The tow man removed the property and sold it, pocketed whatever profits there may have been. Now you want to know what laws the other people broke? Get real!
