Let's call her Ester! Ester has some type of bi-polar, mental issue... She screams at me, stalks me, and calls the cops on me for loud music when the radio and Tv are not even on...

She then put a Criminal Harassment thing on me. I went to the hearing and as I had thought she would; she made a complete full of herself saying that I had the trustees come into my condo and do survailance on her, that I had a man in my condo talking into the vents to her "Ester kill yourself when are you going to kill yourself...

Ok you get the just of it, I was under the impression that this was a hearing and that the magistrate would determine if this was to go further? Well lying continued and the magistrate ended this screaming at Ester saying she would not try this case again and that this was going to the next level? Which means I now have to get a lawyer... 950 dollars! I can not believe the magistrate let it go past this point?

What recourse do I have to protect myself from this nut doing this to me every week?

Greetings and WELCOME to the site, stellasgroov!

I moved your question out of Introductions to this forum topic area so that it will be more likely to be noticed and addressed by those who are best able to answer it. Your question will get noticed much more here.

Introductions is for people to introduce themselves only, and we try to not ask questions there. We would appreciate it if you would return to Introductions sometime to tell us a little bit about yourself, if you would be willing to do that.

I'm really sorry about the situation in which you're involved!

Thanks!

As you say you need to get a lawyer, take with you a diary of recent events... times,dates what happened etc... just to give him a general out line of the situation.

Also witnesses, when the police were called what the out come was and so on...

Don't forget to mention that the lady in question suffers from bi-polar,which is obviously a major issue in the case.

You could hire the $950 attorney and go to court or you could start looking for another place and move out as soon as possible. I forsee Ester getting much worse after losing her case against you in court. What are you going to do then for moving money having spent it all on an attorney and won your case? BiPolar people are best left alone once they start up with you. You will become her obsession very quickly until she is locked up for observation. Then when she is let out in a month she will be right back at bugging you. She does sound rather mentally ill. Best to move as soon as possible as getting her to move would probably take a long time and she would just come back to target you some more.
