Q: My neighbor continues to encroach on my property, destroy boundary fences, and harass me and my fiance.
These issues have gone on for over 4 1/2 years. The police and the county are limited in what they can do to stop him. At this point, I know only the courts will be able to stop him. I have over 4 years of video proof to prove my claim. I have survey markers down that I paid to have done to show where the property lines are. At this point, this issue is becoming physically and mentally draining to me and my partner. What legal action do I need to take at this point? We can't continue to live like this.
A: Retain counsel to file suit for damages for trespass and to enjoin future trespasses, and have counsel send a no-trespass letter which will later support a criminal complaint for trespass. Don’t try doing this alone.
