In addition to Dr. Nettleman’s years of experience, he is also a co-author of a few land surveying resource publications. Furthermore, these sources have been collectively cited in over 200 court decisions nationwide. 

Dr. Tony Nettleman is not only a full-time practicing Expert Witness, Land Surveyor, Speaker, Educator and Attorney, but he is also an accomplished Author in the field of surveying principles. 

Tony is the author or co-author of several surveying related reference publications, including Clark on Surveying and Boundaries, Evidence and Procedure for Boundary Location, and Brown’s Boundary Control and Legal Principles. These texts have been collectively cited in over 200 court decisions throughout the United States. Tony has also authored numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and other publications.

Clark on Surveying and Boundaries

From Clark: “A surveyor, with original field notes in hand, is required to search for all of the evidence of the original monument and its accessories in order to identify the original corner point. This has led courts to hold when one finds an original monument. As described in the official record, in unalterable and unchangeable.” 

Evidence and Procedure for Boundary Location

Evidence and Procedures for Boundary Location is a handbook on the principles and concepts of land boundary law and evidence for accurately determining boundaries.  It is written by a team of noted authorities on the subject and presents the proven methods for the rediscovery of real property boundaries.  The book reflects the most recent legislative changes in locating land boundaries, the courts’ changing interpretation of land boundary laws, the increasing liability of the surveyor, and unwritten title rights.  Evidence and Procedure for Boundary Location prepares surveyors for the new legal, technical, and administrative aspects of surveying.

Tony regularly cites Evidence and Procedure for Boundary Location in his expert reports to better inform the parties and the Court on principles and concepts of land boundary law that are essential to the outcome of the case.

Brown’s Boundary Control and Legal Principles

Brown’s Boundary Control and Legal Principles is the classic reference to boundary law for property surveying― updated and expanded regularly to reflect ongoing changes in surveying technology and surveying law. 

Professional surveying practices continue to evolve, and every edition includes all the necessary information to navigate the complex, evolving area of boundary law.

Improving upon its usefulness for both professionals and students alike, each new edition features: 

• Updated case law and examples throughout 
• Recent changes in boundary law 
• New chapter on riparian and littoral boundaries by water boundary expert George Cole 
• A new appendix listing surveying books referenced in court cases and legal decisions
