[NC] [NC] How do I handle a client sending hostile texts?

I have a client who is sending aggressive texts, emotionally manipulative texts, gaslighting texts, verbally aggressive phone calls, and threats to slander our business. I run a successful pet sitting business of 12 years, and after 72 hours this client has become hostile. We won’t abandon the dog because we feel bad for him, but the client sends a slew of wild, accusational texts and we need them to stop. Should an immediate cease and desist work?

Can I vacate a protection order entered without notice?

My half-brother lied and said I sexually assaulted him. He filed a police report and got an order of protection. It was dismissed in General Sessions, but he appealed to Circuit Court and it was granted. I didn’t know about the appeal or court date. Now I’m in a database because of this order. I tried to sue him for lying, but the judge dismissed it without prejudice and said Circuit Court has to hear it.
