This review is from: How to Collect When You Win a Lawsuit in California(5th Edition) (Paperback)

I have used Nolo products for years. Both to help understand the law and it's processes even when using an attorney and to do some of my own legal work. I recently won a law suit of just over $150,000. The looser (in every sense of the term) had the assets but just wouldn't pay up. My attorney didn't do this kind of work, the court won't help (much) and the services that do this kind of work wanted 35%! I was not going to give up over $50,000 for what seemed like a fairly straightforward process. With this book it was a straightforward process. Within several days I had identified the assets (more than enough to satisfy the judgment) and was able to file the correct forms and follow the correct process. Within 45 days I had my money and could get on with my life.

This a super purchase, since I am in the mist of collecting a judicial judgment. The only thing that would make it better is if, a CD came with the book with FORMS on it ( ready to fill out).
