Editorial Reviews

I have been using the 2005 version. Thank you for updating this book. Laws change on a regular basis, using the old book meant I had to do a lot of additional research. Now it's all in one place."
B. Alvarez, Orange, Ca.

Easy to follow. Every form used the same people as an example. I was always "Amy" and my debtor was always "Jeff". I just interchanged your information for mine. You could not have made it easier."
S. Katz, Northridge, ca

"I had to evict my tenants. I knew where they worked and banked. Your book saved me thousands."
R. Madison, Lakewood, Ca

I spent thousands on my attorney to win my case, then they told me that they don't collect the money. Wow. Now I have to spend thousands more to get my money? This is a better choice."
L. Wilson
