When you’ve been served with a Cease and Desist Letter usually a person, such as your neighbor, that is a precursor to them filing for a Civil Harassment Restraining Order to be issued against you. Even worse, if your neighbor is threatening to call the police and have you arrested, you may need to get on the offensive fast by countering with your own Cease and Desist Letter to set the record straight. This letter can be used if your neighbor does get law enforcement involved to show that there is at best a mutual conflict between the two of you which does NOT rise to a criminal defense matter.
Consider a Cease and Desist Letter a serious “warning shot fired” and definitely consult with an attorney to help you understand what may lie ahead based upon the evidence you believe the opposing person may have against you.
My office is dedicated to make conflict a conversation before Court. It is important you act quickly to consult with my law firm to determine if you can deescalate the situation, gain a strategic plan towards an offensive position, and avoid your neighbor costing you time and money. Everyone has a right to peacefully use and enjoy their property!
