Summary: Smal Claims Court
Review: I have looked far and wide to find a book like Dr. Ted Rothsteins, "Small Claims". His is the best, most complete and easy to understand of any book I have read on the subject. It is not theoretical, it's hands-on. He was there, he did all of the things explained in great detail in his book. He has included an enormous amount of detailed information that took a lot of time and effort for the author to accumulate so the reader will not have to. It's an excellent "road map" to successful small claims litigation.

Summary: FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN...SMALL CLAIMS COURT
Review: Is small claims court right for you? Do you fear the unknown? Dr. Rothstein's book "Small Claims Court Step By Step," published by Barron's, showed me that it was indeed right for me. After reading the criteria for using the small claims court I knew it was right for me. Dr. Rothstein makes it so easy to follow through from there: filing the initial claim form, preparing and presenting your case at your hearing and best of all getting money the judge awarded you...something that more than 50% of the winners fail to do. Don't go to court without this EASY TO READ book. And, by the way, Dr. Ted also tells you when NOT to bother filing a claim. This book is not theoretical. Dr. Ted wrote the book solely on his 15 YEARS of court experiences, and get this, he's not a lawyer, he's an orthodontist.
