Since he was the recommended lawyer from my state's Realty Association, he heard through the grapevine, that she had threatened to kill her previous landlord, who didn't even live that far from me at the time, and who was not listed as her previous reference.

Very non-threatening, heck I'd want to talk to you if you approached me in his matter :-)

At one point via text message Mario threatened the homeowner to "crush him in court" if he were to seek legal action regarding money owed to the homeowner.

Two years ago, I had an insurance company threaten to not renew a homeowner policy due to rotten wood near the front door.

Let's build suspense by threatening to shut the government down for a whole week.

Even with the note being paid, the banks will still send threatening letters but this issue can be avoided completely by transferring the property into a land trust.While a transfer to an LLC will cause alarms at the bank and prompt them to send you a letter, a transfer to a trust will not.

After he threatened to sue me in court.
