I would contact this knucklehead, recalcitrant idiot and advise him of the situation and what you want done. If he does not respond then I would threaten him with a lawsuit which would be way more expensive for him.Don't get angry but just use a matter of fact tone. Be firm and fair.

Sorry, but your google search is wrong. If the tree is dead, etc. then the tree's owner IS responsible, but I assure you that I do indeed know the law regarding this matter. The other property owner is NOT responsible for your side of the line when the tree isn't dead/dying...the limbs AND roots on your side of the propertry line are yours to deal with.
