Unauthorized Tree Removal Dispute

Summary

If a tree service company removed a tree without your consent, you may not be liable for payment. In Wisconsin, verbal agreements can be binding, but you need proof of the terms. If you did not authorize the work, you might not be responsible for the cost. Consider gathering any evidence of the agreement and consulting a local attorney to explore your options.
