I live in Upstate New York and there are not that many great legal resources in the self-help field in the local libraries. This book really did the trick! Surprisingly, it was easy to read, simple and complete. If you have a small claims issue, you need to look at this book.

Richard Solomon was the keynote speaker at the Bail USA conference. He was very impressive and gave great information about the use of the small claims courts (which was featured in the New York Times). I bought the book to assist in my collection efforts. I particularly like the idea of limiting debt to an amount below the level of small claims court so I can use these “lower-expense” courts than either collection agencies or attorneys in “regular court.”

I found the book far too geared for NYC although the sales pitch refers to all courts and in particular, Suffolk County which is the area I was interested most in. While it does supply certain basics, it lacks depth in many areas and in most suburban courts.

But a but disappointing considering all rave reviews I read prior to buying the book. It was basic and general information that I could have possibly received from online websites. If you are clueless about the process and are not internet savy, then it is a great book for you. It gives you the basic foundation.

I heard the author on WBBM news radio in Chicago talking about Small Claims. Even though the book is geared for NYers the material on trial fundamentals can apply pretty much anywhere.
