Customer Reviews

Excelent for the "do it yourself" litigant

This book is an excellent "nuts and bolts" guide to civil procedure, and the preparation of court papers. It helped me successfully defend myself from a money grab by an ex girlfriend regarding a jointly owned ranch. I fired my expensive lawyer after 18 months, and settled my case in 6 months. She and her lawyers were killing me with legal expenses. By filing my own motions, (motion for protection, motion to compel, discovery demands, motion for sanctions, etc), I was able to reverse that trend, and "expense" her into a favorable settlement.

Great resource

This is a very useful resource tool for detailed step by step processes and instructions. The glossary has detailed explanations of the terminology used in the legal environment.
