Call your homeowners insurance company and request that they defend you against any legal action taken against you. Ask them if the policy covers you for losses like this one. Good luck.

He is being charged with aggravated assault. What legal recourse do I have?
answered on Jun 28, 2018
That is your legal recourse. If someone commits a criminal act against you, you file a charge against them. At that point, you are the victim and will be required to show up in criminal court for testimony.
answered on Jun 8, 2018
I am not aware of any prohibition on this. If your neighbors know, then it is not private anyway. Not much that is truly private anymore.
