You really do need to seek a lawyer who specializes in this type of law. It is hard to give you specific advice, because I am not sure what state you live in. Every state has different statutes. I am currently in law school, and I would suggest this approach. Make sure you also emphasize the part about the "the police not responding to you seeking help." If you remember who you spoke to and when write this information down (while it is still fresh in your memory). Even a discription of the officer. Keep a log book. You might want to approach the situation as wanting a restraining order against your offender. You are going to want to step up and be more demanding and also specific. Research your possibilities. The best power is education. Educate yourself. Become familiar with legal terms and guidelines. People will tend to take you more seriously, as opposed to just seeking help in general. If you do seek a lawyer, then do not be afraid to ask to the lawyer to negotiate a price. just because they give you a price does not mean that you have to accept it. ultimately you are the "customer".
Most important, stay calm and strong when you are explaining your situation either to a lawyer or police officer. they will have compassion, but they will also respond better to someone who is sure of themselves, and can keep it together.
i hope this helps. if you have anyother questions please feel free to contact me. I cannot emphasize enough on how you must act on this right away. do not let to much time pass. There are statute of limitations, and threats are not taken as serious when they were given a couple of weeks ago. The courts and police tend to see it as, this much time has passed and nothing happened, so what are you still worried about? Please write down everything you could remember and keep the log. It will only help you in the end.
