Even if you win a legal case, you lose.
I agree.
However, when you contact a neighbor directly who has legal representation, as she stated, and when there is a mutual TRO, that can be construed as harassment even if it is a nice note.
The time for nice notes was before police charges were filed, before they went to court, and prior to the TRO. Now they should follow the proper channels with everything.
It is not necessarily a question of building a legal case, which they may or may not need or want to do - so much as not doing anything to further the neighbor building a case. This dude is angry and irrational and has already engaged a hired gun.
