There is more information that would be needed to answer this question. You should get into all the details with a local attorney. One place to find a qualified lawyer is our website, http://attorneypages.com
Some of the facts that matter here are how well the property line is marked, or how good a job you did in making it clear to the timber cutter where the line is. If he cut timber from your property and from someone else's, he isn't due a complete refund, I wouldn't think, even if you were at least partly to blame for the mistake. If it's all his mistake, it's his problem.
