Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Michigan

Re: being harassed by neighbor

This is similar to a case I had where my client received the same treatment from his neighbor because the client thought he had a right to entertain the whole neighborhood with his megawatt stereo system.

You say "the police never found any problem" which indicates to me that the problem exists - you just haven't been caught yet.

You can continue to do battle with your neighbor or you can find some way to turn the noise down.

If my client had done that, he would have saved himself considerable trouble and cost.

Courtesy is becoming a rare item on this planet but its an excellent way to avoid lawsuits and legal fees.

Re: being harassed by neighbor

There is a remedy and it is a lawsuit against the neighbor for intentional infliction of emotional distress. These are difficult cases but the thought of the inconvenience and expense of having to hire a lawyer should stop him. You can get an injunction against his misuse of the system. If he is found to have violated the injunction, he will be in contempt of court and have to pay a fine or sit in jail. However, you will have to pay the lawyer to drag him to court. You have to decide if it is worth it. The cost would probably be a minimum of $1,000. Under present law in Michigan, he would not be responsible for your attorney fees, at least initially.
