On Thursday, attorneys for both Sen. Rand Paul and Rene Boucher sounded off on the pending lawsuits surrounding the November 2017 assault in Sen. Paul's yard.

Paul filed a civil suit against Boucher on Monday for tackling him and breaking multiple ribs. Boucher has already been criminally

in federal court for the incident.

Now in a change of events,

, as well as Paul's wife, and their neighborhood's Homeowners Association.

Thursday, Boucher's defense team filed a motion for entry onto Paul's property to investigate the the land and prove Paul is in violation of neighborhood by-laws. Boucher allegedly complained to members of the HOA, but claimed the HOA did not act on the complaints.

While in court for sentencing, Boucher apologized for his actions of November 3, 2017.

Boucher's attorney, Matt Baker, told 13 News Wednesday, "With that apology, and the acceptance of his punishment, he was very hopeful that this case was going to be over."

Rand Paul's attorney said Thursday that apology is not enough.

"The only time I know that he's apologized is when he was standing a couple of weeks ago in front of a federal judge," said Tom Kerrick of Kerrick Bachert, PSC, "and let's call it what it is. I mean, he was saying what he had to say to keep himself out of prison."

The counter complaint from Matt Baker states that the Pauls were in violation of the Homeowners Association's by-laws while repeatedly piling up "unsightly" debris, tree limbs, mounds of trash and other waste near Boucher's property.

Paul's attorney believes although an apology was made it doesn't sound like he's admitting to any wrongdoing.

"Based on this counterclaim, Dr. Boucher is not saying it's his fault," Kerrick added. "He's saying it's Rand's fault. If it's not Rand's fault, it's Kelly and Rand's fault. If it's not Rand and Kelly's fault, it's the neighborhood's fault. I don't see where he's admitted to any fault on his own. Is that remorseful man? I guess we'll let a jury decide that."

For Boucher's legal team, it's not about Boucher's actions, it's about Sen. Paul's inaction, to follow rules.

"People who choose to live in gated communities and communities that have homeowners association rules, I think they have a right to rely on those rules and rely on them being enforced," said Baker.

Tom Kerrick claims Sen.Paul has suffered continuously through broken ribs as well as fear for his family of walking outside his own home.

Baker is not discounting the pain, but says it needs to be looked into.

"Those claims need to be subject to some investigation," said Baker.

Another issue addressed in Boucher's counter lawsuit is the dismissal of an injunction currently being sought by Sen. Paul to keep Boucher away from Paul's family.

Matt Baker believes because there is already a similar order in place in federal court that prohibits "intentional" contact with the Pauls, there is no need for another one, but as Kerrick asked, "If you've already got one in place, what's the difference if you got two in place?"

Kerrick went on to say this issue is no longer about the fact that Sen. Paul is a member of congress. It is about the fact that Sen. Paul is a citizen of Warren County.
