i’m not advocating that at all, just sharing what i read of someone else’s experience.
Could go great...or right down the crapper.
Do be careful. He can use your words against you and/or take them out of context. This is why/where a lawyer is useful. Best of luck to you.
Sorry to hear you have a problem with neighbors dogs. Early last summer I had same problem except, my neighbors dogs couldn't access my property without the owners help! Long story short, I had to extend the height of my fence from 5 feet to 8 feet, and yes it was expensive to do. But I had no choice. I had talked to the owners of the dogs a couple of times, He's an arrogant jerk. I threaten to shoot his dogs next time I caught them on my property, he called the cops on me. It is legal for me to shoot & kill dogs/predators that get in my yard, I had pictures of my dead chickens, I had pictures, from a security camera, of his dogs on my property, I showed the officers receipts I had of purchase of fencing I used to heighten the fence. As I told the officers, I took all measures I possibly could before threatening to shoot. The officers agreed. I spent 2 weeks after that walking my property with a rifle in case the dogs owner was watching. I wanted him to know and believe I really would shoot. The problem has not returned. Like you, I have a dog, a Rottweiler, and he would go after dogs on his property, but I don't want him fighting so I don't let him out after the dogs. Thankfully though, the problem seems to have stopped and I didn't have to shoot the neighbors dog. So the only advice I can think of for you in regards to the lawsuit is, document everything, take pictures of everything and get a security/survailence camera - they're really affordable these days. Good luck, I'm sure you'll prevail in court. P.S. you might consider a counter suit for the loss of your girls, and any and all expenses you incur protecting your property from his dogs.
