Default Can I cut the branches of my neighbors trees?

My neighbor has trees that hang all over my fence and more leaves fall in my
yard then in his. I have to rake them every hour if I want them gone. Can I
have a tree guy come in and cut the ones that hang over and send him the
bill? I have sent him countless letters asking him to do something but have
got no response. What are my options in the matter does anyone know?

Best to come to an accord with your neighbor without resorting to law.
However, if you must, you should check out:

Also, your local laws may differ.
