3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Overview, June 10, 2003
By 
Paul V. Keller (South Euclid, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: An Attorney's Guide to the Collection of Bad Debts (Paperback)
This is more like an introduction and overview than a guide or a reference. Having read the book, I'm still not sure that the author means a guide for attorneys, rather than a guide by an attorney.

The upside is that it is a quick read and contains a lot of sensible-sounding advice. The downside is that it is poorly edited and lacking in depth. The forms at the end are badly labeled, badly laid out, and nearly illegible. Also, they are specific to New York Courts and would be difficult to translate to other states. Part of the problem is that the New York statutes and rules the forms are designed to satisfy are, for the most part, not identified. Advice for collecting out of state is mostly just "hire local counsel."

Still, I would have paid to have lunch with the author to get his perspcetive on collections, and the book gives more than that for about the same cost in time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Decent book, April 2, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: An Attorney's Guide to the Collection of Bad Debts (Paperback)
I agree with Mr. Keller: book reads more like a practical guide.

It doesn't resemble a traditional treatise like Siegel's "New York Practice". Caselaw and primary law is almost non-existant.

Double spaced and large font pages seemed a bit sneaky. Forms are provided in 6 pt micro type so don't expect any blank form copying.

As an overview this book is nice solid beginner's reading. Author shares some practical and personal insights which are useful. Hint: If you happen to fall behind in bills, it's a good idea to read this book. It'll tell you what Mr. New York Bill Collector can do to you (and what he can't or won't bother to do).

Good law and even bad law books are very expensive. This book sells for 15$ and it provides many solid hints.

1.0 out of 5 stars This book is a waste of paper and ink., November 5, 2007
This review is from: An Attorney's Guide to the Collection of Bad Debts (Paperback)
This book is a waste of paper. It speaks in terms of generalities that are meaningless. The paragraphs are double spaced and the book is specific to the state of New York. I wouldn't wipe my you know what with the pages from the book. SAVE YOUR MONEY - DON'T BUY THIS BOOK!
