What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WA
My neighbor threatened me that he'll sue me for his dying maple tree located at the property line which is sickly. Just because I asked his wife about possibly replacing it with a tree that doesn't shed leaves (I'm allergic to maples) like evergreen tree at my expense a couple of years ago, now that it looks sickly, he even called a sheriff to get a statement from me and my hubby. He has threatened me saying he'll find out the damage I have caused to his tree and will sue my "ass off" and gave me the finger. I have NOTHING to do with his tree being sickly.
Can I sue him for harassing me (door banging in late evening) and his noisy dog constantly barking tied next to the fence throughout the day and trying to damage my reputation with such ridiculous claim?? I know that guy is in economic hardship because he was unemployed for about 8 months or so although recently got a job about a month ago. My hubby thinks he is after our money and thinks he could have possibly poisoned his own tree to make a case. I think he is the one who recently broke the trunk off of my young cherry tree but don't have any witness. Can he even sue me for something I have nothing to do with?? Or should I just forget about the whole thing? Because of his gigantic St. Bernard barking so loud, I can't go out to that side of my own backyard to water my plants very often. The psycho owner has taught the dog to bark loudly when either my hubby or I am in our garden and constantly encourages the dog saying "good job" when he barks. This is absurd and outrageous!!! Any advice would be great!
