What Makes NLC Different: Our People

Finding a trusted professional land surveyor to resolve your boundary dispute can be a daunting task.

Past clients have told us that being in the middle of a land dispute and either filing or defending a civil suit has been one of the worst experiences of their lives.

Nettleman Land Consultants was created to provide fair, objective expert opinions about the land title and land boundary disputes. We love helping property owners.

From researching century-old legal descriptions, to finding long-lost land survey monuments, to creating simple, clear demonstrative exhibits for trial, NLC will do everything it can to help you.

If you are struggling to resolve a real property issue, contact us below and experience the NLC Difference.

Our Philosophy

At NLC Expert Services, we do things differently based on our combined decades of land surveyor expert witness experience.

A typical surveyor rarely has any of his work critiqued by other professionals or property owners. At NLC, we expect every document to be scrutinized. Therefore, we use a variety of processes to ensure that our surveys and reports are fair, objective, and far exceed minimum industry standards.

A typical surveyor spends most of his time in the office, directing various technicians in the performance of surveying activities. At NLC, Dr. Nettleman or another senior consultant is actively involved in the dispute, from reading the pleadings to helping draft the final order, and every step in between.

These are just two examples of how NLC provides a higher standard of surveyor expert witness services. To learn more, contact us below.

Our Processes

The vast majority of land surveying firms expect to listen to your issues, produce a land survey map, and be done.

At NLC, we understand that land surveyor expert witnessing is more than just creating a map. Here, our goal is to provide objective, accurate, and complete expert reports that explain the core issues from a land surveyor’s perspective.

Then, once the research is complete and the expert report is submitted, we continue our “heart of a teacher” philosophy when testifying in deposition or trial.

NLC has developed a series of processes that allow us to educate land owners, attorneys, and courts like no other practice.
