Everybody's Guide to Small Claims Court in California, 21st Edition

by Cara O'Neill Attorney (Author)

Make the most of your day in court
Winning a lawsuit doesn’t happen by accident. You must prove your case. That’s where Everybody’s Guide to Small Claims Court in California can help. If you’re suing someone―or being sued―you’ll learn how to explain the facts, present credible evidence, and convince the judge to rule for you, not your opponent.

But you get more than tips on preparing a powerful case. You’ll also learn how to:

determine the value of your case
write a demand letter
negotiate a settlement
file and serve court papers
gather evidence
subpoena witnesses
present your case in court
collect money when you win, and
file an appeal.

And you won’t need to worry about being buried in forms. The 21st edition includes instructions for completing the paperwork, as well as the latest California laws, court procedures, and sample court forms.
