Temporary help turned into claims on my home & address

Briefly: An offer fora temporary stay as an unpaid guest turned into the guy claiming 24/7 rights to my home and address/mail, etc. He started out being nice, charming and claimed he knew about or how to do everything, etc. But soon He’d became nasty, fault finding, bossy, name calling and bad mou...thing me to my neighbors etc, and also soon became verbally abusive & more demanding & expensive than I could handle etc and was blaming all kinds of things on me. When he insisted he had rights to my home, mail & address, ie, is when I went to see Mr Keck. He set the matter straight in minutes. Because the guy had signed nothing, and had not contributed to any costs & utilities etc he had zero claims on mail, residency, storage etc or anything, and what I was told to do is write a personal letter to him and hand it to him to get him and his things out or they became abandoned property. The guy played with me setting up multiple times to come get his stuff and then not doing it. And during this time he became even more nasty and even telling me I was evil and the god I prayed to is Satan. I also found out he had strangled someone and the judge had a recommendation for life in jail on his next case. So this needy & self-proclaimed smart wonderful person with all this pain & problems turned out to me a nightmare. I thank Mr David Keck for his knowledge and advice but I just wish the Police had more protections in dealing with liars and threatening individuals like this. I’m feeling very vulnerable and threatened and you’d think there would be additional protection based on his past record. I just pray that this is resolved peacefully and possibly for the highest good of all involved.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
