What to do if we fully paid to replace a 70 year old rusted full of holes 4-5 foot tall chain link fence on our property?
Dogs were coming in our yard attacking our cats and chasing our child. My son is Autistic and could easily climb the fence or go through a hole to escape. A neighbor is now threatening a lawsuit. He wants us to pay to have the fence redone. He first was ok with it and said he would put up his own chain link fence against our 6′ privacy fence. Just received a letter from an attorney for him asking us to contact him. He was just fine with the fence until my husband refused to sell his car to him. The man doesn’t live there but rents it out. We still have the old fence

Given what you have written I suggest that that you consult with a real estate attorney about the matter you have written about and not tio have any contact with the attorney that wrote you. If the fence was on your property, you had the legal right to make the needed repairs.
