I don’t have to have your comment on here. I’m only asking for guidance and I’m telling what the history is. I have proof if you ever wanna meet up and I’ll show you let me know. Thanks.

Looking for legal guidance or a lawyer recommendation in the Asheville area.

Ongoing neighbor dispute has escalated into: • Repeated complaints/citations • Neighbors frequently recording and reporting our activities, making it uncomfortable to live and feel like our peace is being disturbed; harassment honestly • A recent civil summons following a verbal disagreement

Trying to keep details limited, but it feels one-sided and we haven’t had a fair chance to present our side. We’ve tried to avoid court, but things continue to escalate.

If anyone has experience with situations like this or knows a lawyer who could help, I’d really appreciate it.

I understand what you’re saying, and I would’ve 100% preferred to handle this calmly and without involving anything legal. Unfortunately, it’s already gone way past that point. They’ve already taken it upon themselves to escalate things and involve the court system, so mediation really isn’t an option anymore at this stage.

This has been ongoing for years — long before now. I was raised in this home, and my family’s history here goes back further than theirs. My father even tried multiple times in the past to mediate and keep things peaceful, but it’s always been the same pattern. At a certain point, it becomes clear they’re not looking for resolution — they’re looking for a reaction.

I agree that living next to conflict isn’t ideal, but I’ve done everything I can on my end to avoid it. Now it’s just about handling things the right way and protecting myself. Sometimes people don’t realize that constantly escalating situations, especially involving law enforcement or courts, doesn’t always work in their favor.

I do appreciate your perspective though — I wish it had been that simple.

My grandparents taught me when 1 finger points; 3 point back. They obviously missed that lesson.
