My previous employer has threatened to sue me if I did not return to work after I quit. I am technically a self-contractor and we have signed no contracts. He has made idle threats personally and legally. What can I do to protect myself if he does decide to try and sue me? He has said I will owe him 10s of thousands of dollars. I believe this is blackmail and harassment. What should I do?

I had a tree cut down by a tree surgeon, and a branch fell on my neighbor's fence, bending the top metal rail. The tree surgeon took the rail to fix but hasn't done so after over two weeks. I've called him multiple times, and he promised to come but hasn't. My neighbor believes it's my responsibility to get it fixed and has threatened to hold me accountable if it's not resolved. I am in Florida. Is this correct, and what legal actions can I take?
