Hire a lawyer and sue him for forcible detainer. Self help evictions are illegal in Missouri. If there is damage to your property from the self-help eviction, you can incur significant fees for conversion and potentially punitive damages. Please do not hesitate to contact our office for a free consultation for this type of case.
