5.0 out of 5 stars Used it in real dispute., August 6, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Everybody's Guide to Small Claims Court: In California (Paperback)

I have used it and it works. It is straight to the point no nonsense approach. I won the case and did get my money back. It instructed my step by step, how to make a demand, file a claim, and serve the papers, how to prepare and act in court. Than how to collect a judgement, how to put the lien. What to do and when not to. Also commons sense advise when not to file. Power to the people, justice for all, without an attorney taking half of what is yours

5.0 out of 5 stars START WITH THIS BOOK FIRST, June 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Everybody's Guide to Small Claims Court in California (13th Ed) (Paperback)

If you want to make less mistakes, save time and money, it's best to start with this book so you can get the correct service, venue, and evidence organized to file and win. I found the chapter on how to write a demand letter and settle your claim before it gets to court very helpful. They even offer sample letters you use to settle your case. Nolo Press seems to put together the best legal self help books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Win in Small Claims Court!, June 12, 2001

This review is from: Everybody's Guide to Small Claims Court in California (13th Ed) (Paperback)

If you have a claim involving $5,000 or less, you can easily and inexpensively bring an action in Small Claims Court. But even though Small Claims Court is designed for non-attorneys (in fact, attorneys are not allowed) you still must have a basic understanding of the rules of evidence and know how to put on your case. Invest a little time to read this book, and you will stand a much better chance of winning.
