People's Court
Ignore my rating because I did not read the book, I thought a fair rating wouldn't tip the scales too much. In any case, I came to check it out because of the writer (Rothstein) appearing on People's Court. He did win in spite of himself and lack of preparation. What an odd character he is with the bowtie and mannerisms!

If the book is like him in court I'll pass
I just saw him on The Peoples Court he was awful.He kept interrupting, the judge had to tell him to be quite and she corrected him several times.How can a stuttering, bad suit wearing, bumbling man write a book about what he can barely do?I'd say get your book somewhere else.

Do as I say and not as I do...
Dr. Rothstein's book is informative and like a cliff's notes for the small claims court process. If you need a quick reference to help yourself prepare for court this book will do just fine. After seeing Dr. Rothstein, an orthodontist, sue a patient today on The People's Court it is clear that he came unprepared. He spent time looking through his contract while in front of Judge Milian because he didn't even know what was in it. He won, but it certainly wasn't due to preparation for court. Good thing he has a good itemization of charges in his patient contract or he'd be out of luck!

REVIEWING THE REVIEWER
Re: Review of my book dated January 27, 2005 by Werner Cohn (See below.):
I was amused and delighted by your *** star review of my book Small Claims Court which lo a review I discovered for the first time last night, Christmas eve 2005. So first of all I want to sincerely thank you just for reviewing the book in the first place. If everybody started with my book as you recommend (which is a mighty nice thing to say) I would rejoice to share even a sliver of the limelight with David Seigel ("NY Law Practice")......My book sold about 7 thousand copies so your review did not "kill it with faint praise", and as I said before, I am grateful that any reviewer found it worthwhile to review at all. :-)......Irecently placed the following note in "SITE ADDITIONS" on my website, December 14, 2005: When I wrote my book on Small Claims Court it was intended to help doctors collect fees from patients. I knew the book was really a success, and I had done my job well, when lay people began writing me to tell me how they used the book to win AND COLLECT from anybody and everybody. Over the years the small claims court has been very useful to me, and I would encourage others to use it when the appropriate circumstances warrant it. The outcome of a Small Claims Court hearing can hold many surprises, some totally unexpected: Tell me about the surprises: http://drted.com/index.html.bak2/scenario.htm I prepared a guide for those of you who have the courage to use this very useful court. See the Guide: http://drted.com/index.html.bak2/SccGuides.htm......My book was edited by three lawyers and reponsible staff at the largest small claims court in the world (Brooklyn,NY), the one on which the book is largely based. It was based on my experiences of going to court about 125 times in order to collect fees that accumulated as a result of an inverse relation between my managerial skills and my doctor skills. :-( ...... You neglected to point out some its better qualities:...... It was clearly stripped of legal jargon and spoken in words clearly written to avoid intimidating the lay public.......I presented the forms currently in use and HOW TO COMPLETE THEM.......Moreover, I emphasized thevarious strategies I used regarding HOW TO collect using your judgement, i.e, who you actually can call or write.No theory at all is found in this book. Originally it was titles "WIN AND COLLECT INSCC" It is meant to reduce the SCC process to its barest essentials so that ordinary people could easily navigate the court of the people, of which I am definitely one.......But, what is most important and completely lacking in Siegel's book, and the tour de force of mine is the "SURPRISES" (see above), i.e., the twist and turns that may occur before and during the hearing and even after you obtain the judgement (AND HOW TO DEAL WITH THEM). IN NO OTHER BOOK IS THIS INFORMATION PROVIDED......Thecheck list (navigational guide to the SCC) for using the SCChas been a big help to some folks I am told. I wrote it for the website......As for the index, itwas revised and completed by none other than Barron's the publisher. You found "Information Subpoena" on page 254, however just below that entry You missed the entry " Information Subpoena and Rest. 74-75, 78-79. .....I forgive you......I'm sure you are busy man and have little time to rewrite the review of my now out-of-date book (SCC maximum is $5,000; it was $3,000 when I write the book, so I'm doing it here for you. By the way are you aware that on Jan 8. 2006the cost for a stamp goes form 37 cents to 39 cents?......With all due respect to David nowhere in the text of my book did I mention Chapter 21 of Siegel'sbook although I did reference his book in my bibliography.....Sincerest best wishes for a health and happy new year.Sincerely,Ted Rothstein, DDS, PhD......Specialist in Orthodontics for Adults and Children ......www.drted.com ......December 25, 2005

MY BOOK ALAS IS OUT OF PRINT BUT AVAILABLE ON DEMAND, March 16, 2001
Reviewer: Dr.Ted Rothstein (Brooklyn, NY)
Dear would-be readers of Barrons's Legal-Ease Small Claims Court Step By Step. All 6000? 8000? copies of the book were sold, but that was not sufficient incentive for Barron's to print another "hard cover" run. However, THE GOOD NEWS IS that the book is available in the "electronic" edition, and can be printed on-demand. We thank all of you who purchased the book with a SPECIAL THANKS to those of you who wrote such nice reviews. PS. I am an Orthodontist and as such you can reach me at 718 852 1551.
