Case Highlights

Below are cases that highlights Attorney John Lemieux's skills and effective representation of clients in family and divorce law, property disputes, boundary disputes, adverse possession claims, and personal injury cases.
Hamlin v. Niedner (2008)
Attorney John Lemieux successfully defended the Niedners in this quiet title action, resulting in the Maine Supreme Judicial Law Court rejecting the Plaintiff's adverse possession claims. Here, the Court stated that:

"To prove that title or a boundary line is established by acquiescence, a plaintiff must prove four elements by clear and convincing evidence:  (1) possession up to a visible line marked clearly by monuments, fences or the like;  (2) actual or constructive notice of the possession to the adjoining landowner;  (3) conduct by the adjoining landowner from which recognition and acquiescence, not induced by fraud or mistake, may be fairly inferred;  and (4) acquiescence for a long period of years, such that the policy behind the doctrine of acquiescence-that a boundary consented to and accepted by the parties for a long period of years should become permanent-is well served by recognizing the boundary."
