The greatest burden of an appellate court-usually-is that of searching, sifting, and stating the facts of reviewable moment. With the facts assembled and known for what they are, the legal jugular of the case invariably becomes exposed for definitive and precedential treatment. Established in 2000, 2Point, Incorporated has achieved recognition and respect within the surveying and legal communities specializing in difficult retracements and boundary problems- often involving issues many firms tend to avoid.

The research essential for his published articles and books, combined with additional study and analysis required for individual state classes, has given Kris a broad knowledge base that spans the nation. Unusual problems encountered during court disputes in several jurisdictions provided additional impetus to expand his expertise.
Boundary retracement is not just a matter of measuring the angles and distances of the subject deed. In fact, completely unambiguous retracements are a rare occurrence. Clients often equate the difficulty-and therefore price-of a survey to acreage, the distance the surveyor must travel, the steepness of the terrain, and the ease with which the field crew can travel along the perimeter of the subject tract.
2Point, Inc. specializes in boundary research, analysis, and expert testimony on topics including: state grant overlaps, rights of way and easements, conflicting chains of conveyance, railroad lands, and unwritten rights. We have extensive experience with the challenges associated with difficult boundary retracements, land disputes, and complex survey situations where attention to detail, proven expertise, and professional consultation services can provide the information you need to resolve your boundary issues.
A nationally recognized expert on adverse possession and legal aspects of retracement, Kris Kline shares his knowledge in three must-read books for surveyors, land developers and attorneys who deal with property boundaries and easements. More than 600 rulings are included in this comprehensive text that provides a detailed analysis of Adverse Possession and Prescriptive Easements with a separate chapter focusing on 21 Eastern jurisdictions.

I have had the pleasure of attending Kris' seminars for many years. During this time he has had the exceptional ability to teach complex topics (easements, adverse possession, riparian boundaries to name a few) and present the subject matter to large audiences (sometimes over 500 people) in a clear and understandable way. In addition, he has always been willing to spend extra time to answer any questions.

Kris at 2Point is a thoroughly knowledgeable professional in the area of easements. I worked with him on a complicated project. He was prompt and examined the issues with a critical eye. He raised the subtleties of easement theory in a way that gave a better understanding of the task at hand and focused the inquiry. 2 Point is responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Mr. Kline is a great professional! I have read several of his articles to help me on my Boundary Law classes and also he offered to help me with an specific task (for free). His passion for the profession is evident in everything that he does. Young surveyors need more professionals/mentors like him.

Kris may be one of the best, but a contested survey like he conducts could easily reach $10,000 plus.and his $4,000 retainers are non-negotiable. Better make sure your property is worth the $$$ and this does not include additional court costs and other attorney fees. He did spend time discussing the case by phone but also made me aware that he hadn't been paid for that time. I found his responses to be snarky and condescending.

Kris is one of the best boundary surveyors I know - and I know a lot of land surveyors. I'm always learning from the content that Kris posts online about boundary disputes, easements, and real estate law. I'd strongly recommend Kris for any of your boundary surveying needs. That includes expert witness work and resolution of tricky boundary disputes. The quality of his work will be second to none.

I met Kris Kline several years back at a seminar he and Don Wilson were giving. Since then I have called on him for direction regarding easements and rail roads. More or less he dropped what he was doing and sent me down the right paths. I was shocked at how quick he found public rail road reference material for Memphis TN and emailed it to me. He also was very quick with answers and case law regarding an easement question I had. His continuing education units are good in almost all states due to his status as an author, and professional reputation. Glad to have Kris Kline as a resource!
