What to do if I am having trouble with my county zoning department as well as my neighbor harassing myself and my family?

Since 2002 my neighbor has made regular complaints to the local authorities regarding his dislike of my business (I own a concrete company) as well as my family’s activities. As the complaints were reviewed the zoning enforcement officer assured me that I was in compliance. Recently that enforcement officer retired and I was brought before the county and levied a fine of $2250 for a violation of 4 ordinances. I have appealed this and am awaiting a hearing, I believe that I need legal counsel.

I believe that you need counsel as well.  Do you have anything regarding the old complaints and violations?  If the law has changed since the old violations were issued you need to see if what they are and if they require change by you.  You are obligated to keep up with changes in the law that can effect your business.  Good luck.
