A generally well written book, although I have found certain rules (such as the $5,000 maximum) either incorrect or out of date. The Los Angeles Superior Court Website indicates the maximum for small claims as $7500. Chapters such as how to locate and properly name defedents, how to collect judgments, rules of evidence, etc., are generally unchanging, and thus an understanding of these is critical for the plaintiff and defendant, and usually don't go out of date. I would not rely of the included forms and instructions; instead obtain these directly from your local court house or download them from the court's website.

In general, a fairly well written "how to" book, although I would give it only an average rating.
