retaining wall collapse

Our neighbors 70 ft x 6 ft high retaining wall with attached chain link fence collapsed onto our property a month ago. The owners have received 6 estimates that we know about because we see the contractors on their side of the yard. Other than that nothing has been done to clean up the debris which is considerable. They are avoiding talking to us and unless we happen to catch them outside there is no exchange of information. We made it clear we would work with them if they would just let us know what is going on but it doesn't help. Phone calls go unanswered or they hang up on us. We get attitude and lies about stupid things....ie, has the insurance company contacted them? After that we called their insurance company and they verified there is no coverage for this problem. We want to avoid court if possible. What can we legally do to put the pressure on them to clean up their mess?

Based on what you say here, you could file suit against them (or at least threaten to do so) in small claims court or in regular court; filing in small claims court is easier and requires no attorney...you could try to collect all of the costs and damages that you suffered due to their behavior...
World Law's lawyers could also probably intervene and help resolve this if need be. You may email them on the home page.

I think that you should convey to your neighbor the message that if he does not take steps to clean the debris and make you compensation then you will fire a suit against him in court. I agree that You should go to small claim court.
