Re: My Rights
Very definitely, under Massachusetts law, you do have a right to civil
damages. There's a procedure to go through to make that
claim, which I can handle for you, and I'd like to do.
What city/town did you live in?
What's your current address and phone number?
Were you present for his criminal convinction?
I would probably take your case on a contingency fee basis.
Tell me about your 'damages' if there were any.
Give me a call, please, SOON, at (617) 527-0050, or if you are
out of the Boston area, use (888) 527-0050.
Besides calling, please send me all the pertinent data. Thank you.

Re: My Rights
Yes you can sue him for a restraining order and damages. Since he was criminally
prosecuted he has no right to invade your home. A tenant has the same rights to
exclusive possession of their home as a homeowner has.
