My last house had running bamboo in two locations, planted by the previous owners. Depending on how long it's been growing, you are unlikely to stop it and you can't kill it unless you use a small backhoe to dig up the entire area. You can try to dig it with a shovel but it will run (horizontally) very far from the original plant. My plants had sprouts 40 feet away and I was clipping sprouts on a weekly basis.
The attorney will cost you a fortune and I would not be surprised if you weren't totally happy with the result of your case in the end. Your property could be infested at the end of that ordeal. Installing a plastic barrier will stop it. I would hire someone cheap to install the barrier and be done with the problem. And I would do it as fast as possible. You might be able to kill what ever escaped your containment if you're diligent.
Good luck!
