This review is from: How to Win in Small Claims Court in Florida (Paperback)

Don't waste your money.

...you can learn more on the internet about fighting a small claims suit than you can purchasing this waste of good paper.

I have Mr. Warda's book on land trust's which is much better work than this one (sigh). Don't know what happened here but its not good.

Of Course, Amazon will delete this review as soon as they see it because selling books (good or bad) is what they are in business for.

To improve this book, the writer would need to add a LOT OF MATERIAL. Its just too thin and for someone who claims to be a lawyer, its extremely weak. To be perfectly honest, i've been to small claims a few times (on both sides of the fence) and i could do better than this work. He doesn't even mention Florida Procedure and how you can motion the court.

I would ask for my money back but its not worth the time to return it. I'm giving mine away to charity.
