This question is for Advisor, please. Advisor, I have written before from the State of Louisiana. As stated, I am the Executrix of Mother's succession. I have a brother who is on probation and has a criminal record as long as my arm. He began threatening, harrassing, and using extremely vulgar language to me by phone, then mail, then over the internet (to my office). He called one of my co-workers and has mailed profane letters to my place of business. He even E-Mailed my CEO in a different town (our home office) and bothered him. Accessed him through the web, I think.
All of his call, threats, etc. had to do with "injustices" he feels have been perptrated against him by myself as Executrix. My attorney had me file a TRO, which was dismissed, as it is not legal against siblings. The attorney was supposed to follow up with an injunction and did not. He told the Judge that he was, and he also stated in a letter to brother's probation office that injuction was in process. He never did this, nor did he ever sign on down at the Courthouse as succession attorney. (this is included in Brother's reasons why I need to be removed as Executrix). I have in writing another letter from him, stating that he represents me in the Succession.
When I found that the injuction was not in place, I again spoke to my Brother's probation officer and he advised that I would have to file criminal charges so that they could take some action. I did so, and charges were accepted by the DA. Brother will go to trial in May.
Brother is now on his fourth attorney (had the attorney subpoena me). I contacted this attorney also, and provided him with all information that I had already provided to the other three attorneys and to the Courthouse. Of course, the attorney cancelled the court date/subpoena accordingly.
I offered (to Brother's ) attorney to file a partial partition, letting him come into his property, pending the outcome of other ongoing issue in the succession (I go over this in my previous mail to you).
Anyway, Brother is now using the Courts to harrass me. The DA does not know this, and the Succession Judge does not know that charges have been filed with the DA. I need to stop my brother from continuing this behavior, and currently have not chosen a new attorney.
Should I let the DA and the Judge know what is going on so that they can connect the two matters? Will the Judge take the charges filed with the DA seriously? All of the paperwork that I have that my brother mailed or E mailed to me does reference the succession? Any advice you can give me when I hire a new attorney? Thank you.
