Summary: Everybody's Guide to Small Claims Court (7 ed)
Review: As Small Claims Legal Advisor for the Superior Court, County of San Francisco, for nearly 19 years, I recommend this book to anyone who needs nationwide information on small claims court. Why research each state individually when you can have it in one book? Jeanne F. Stott

Summary: Sloppy work, severely marred by personal editorializing
Review: The book is somewhat of a "pastepot" job, lacking in important details such as where to find pertinent law. Instead, the authors vaguely suggest "checking out" questions, but don't even tell in what code book the rules are to be found, or where to get the answers omitted from the book. The book also suffers because the authors use it as a vehicle for personal opinions and editorializing. Mixed in with the factual information the reader seeks, is various opinion, suggestions, comments on the authors' opinions on how the law should be and so forth. This is extremely frustrating for the reader trying to use the book as a reference, diminishes the value of the book as a useful tool, and is generally considered unethical. With a little more detail and work, and the personal stuff omitted, this would have been a much better book. The book is jnot completely useless in present form, but don't expect to find the answers you seek in this book only: the authors were too busy with their personal opinions to include the nitty-gritty needed by the buyer.

Summary: A Good Reference Book On Small Claims Court
Review: This book has information on how to prepare your case, win in court and collect your money. You can learn how to determine the damages, mediate the settlement, write a demand letter, file and serve papers, prepare for court and collect your money when you win. A big plus, this book includes information for all 50 States. For 24-hour access to straightforward legal solutions check out www.nolo.com. The author, Ralph Warner, helped found Nolo in 1971, and is one of the recognized pioneers of the self-help law movement.
Keep in mind that on some smaller cases you have no choice but to work the case without a lawyer since the amount of money involved may not be enough to cover the expense of an attorney. This book will be a lifesaver.

Summary: This book is very vague.
Review: This book skips all the important details, it is fine for someone who is NOT going to Small Claims Court. This book is useless to the person who IS being sued.
