As a gift, a man gave me a car. The title is in my name, but we are no longer on good terms. Is there any part of the law that says he can sue me to get the car back. I have no written proof that it was a gift.

If title is in your name it is yours -- a completed gift -- & he would have the burden of proving otherwise.

this is where it becomes he said/she said.
way to establish that it was a gift
how long ago was the car given to you?
Was it paid off? Used?
have you , since then, made any payments toward the car to pay it off?
the last two will determine the status of "gift" for the eyes of the court.
If you haven't paid any $$ toward the car (save for any maintenance cost including insurance), then it heavily weighs in your favor of being a gift
IF you did attempt to pay any money back for the car, then he can use that against you saying that you agreed to pay him for the car.

The title is in your name. You own it no matter who paid for it or is still paying for it.
It would be a challenge for him to prove it was not a gift since he gave it to you with YOUR name on it.

if you have title, I am assuming it is paid off.
is it registered in your name with the dmv
you should be good to go
