Legal Question in Civil Litigation in New Jersey

Re: Trespassing, property damage/destruction

Sounds like you want to sue him, and perhaps file criminal complaints against him for destroying your property. What an idiot he is.

You might want to consult an attorney to get this party started. It does NOT sound like it is worthwhile asking him to pay for a new plant, except through an attorney to establish that you gave him a chance to repair his destruction of your plant.

If you would like, give me a call; I am in Hackensack (northern New Jersey). I will be happy to discuss

this with you; a brief telephone consultation will be free.

My contact information can be obtained from the links below, just click on the Attorney Profile link. Let my secretary know you found me through LawGuru.

Re: Trespassing, property damage/destruction

Hi:

Depending on the circumstances this sounds like a good case for small claims. If you feel comfortable you can represent yourself in court pro se, but you might want to speak with an attorney. Also I would recommend that you get pictures to document the damage as part of your evidence.

Additionally, you may want to file a police report with the local authorities.

All of this will depend on the information that you have available, ie your proof.

Please contact me for any additional info.

Good Luck

I would first see the police and then get an attorney if you don't get far with them.
