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).

I learn to collect judgment from this book. this book provides many knowledges and skills to collect judgment. so you don't need to sell your judgment to collection agency.

This book is a must have when dealing with civil law in California.
Lawyers won't do collections for you. You have to do it yourself.
This book is worth every penny I had spent on it.
It possesses all the interpretation and forms needed to succeed
in the collections environment.
If you have civil problems in California, you need a copy of this book.
My book is not for sale.

Roughly 80% of judgments go uncollected. I beat the odds- collected everything in full- with the invaluable assistance of this book.

"How to Collect" became my "Bible". I read, and re-read. And followed her instructions precisely. Leonard leads you through the process step-by-step, offering instructions and guidance that reduced my stress considerably.

As this book is somewhat dated, be sure to check government/court web sites for the most up-to-date forms. Leonard's instructions apply to the new forms as well, and if you follow instructions, it's easy to fill them out correctly the first time (The Court Clerks tend to be less than helpful).

You really do not need an attorney to successfully collect. I highly recommend this book.
