Hi Kathy! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
Wondering what can be done about a neighbor that is harassing me and already has a no trespassing warning issued to him and still continuing to harrass us
Hey Kathy, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Illinois, you might consider the following steps:
- Document all incidents of harassment with dates, times, and details.
- Report repeated harassment to local law enforcement.
- Consider seeking a restraining order for further legal protection.
Have you reported these incidents to the police yet?
Yes
It sounds like a tough situation, Kathy. Since you've already reported to the police, you might want to consider seeking a restraining order. It can provide additional legal protection against your neighbor. Have you thought about pursuing this option, or do you need guidance on how to proceed?
I'm wondering about a legal letter being sent to him
