If it is an owner they should've known the property lines and since your fence is inside the lines and the overgrowth didn't go over the line they had no business cutting any of it.
Good luck. Sorry for the loss of your landscaping. Does your city have a small claims court? I chuckle to see this on Judge Judy!! She would obviously give you the damages plus. Think about having an arborist come give you a professional estimate on the damages before you trim more or replant, etc. If high enough and she doesn't pay for it maybe your homeowners policy or theirs will.
Everyone in my neighborhood owns their homes. My street is the last of the streets to get the infill. Thats where they buy the house and bulldoze it and build a 6000 to 8000sqft home on it. All of our lots are one acre lots with the exception of a street over and they are 2 acre lots. The home across the street from me and the one beside her are $1,000,000 homes and I was thinking that she was going to tear her house down and build a big one on it. I already have had neighbors stop by and ask me what happened to them.
But I am going to fix her up good!! ;) ;)
