The Guerrilla Guide to Small Claims Court
The Guerrilla Guide to Small Claims Court is the one book that covers small claims court as it should be covered, information you need and without a bunch of padding just to make you pay more for the book!
Small Claims Court is still court, and many of the same rules apply, but knowing how to find those rules, how to make them work in your favor, and which ones aren't the same can be the difference between winning and losing a case.
In this book, Lawyer X walks a potential litigant through the process beginning with ways to resolve cases suitable for small claims court without actually having to go to court, preparing and filing the case, then methods of collecting (or preventing collection) after the case is over.
This book is the result of countless hours spent in courtrooms across the country and helping people with legal issues that concern them.
As is always the case with a Guerrilla Guide to the Law, this book is filled with information necessary to a party to a lawsuit whether they be the Plaintiff or Defendant.
All topics of a small claims case are covered in a way that can be quickly and easily digested, then serve as a reference source from that point on.
This book is not just a rehash of the court websites, as so many of these books are, instead it is offers practical lessons on all aspects of a case, as shown by the table of contents:
