Successfully defended a property owner in a dispute in Queen Anne’s County Circuit Court against multiple neighbors claiming easement rights over client’s property to access beach area on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay.  The case raised the novel issue of whether the neighbors had an implied easement based on a Subdivision Plat recorded in 1952, which the Court ultimately rejected.  The Court also rejected alternative claims made by the neighbors that they held prescriptive easements based upon their prior alleged use of the property at issue.
