I love LBTN! I turn to it constantly for answers that would take me hours of research to find otherwise!
Tori Buckles, Attorney, Salinas, CA
LBTN was assigned to me during law school in a CA civil procedure course. I loved the resource then, and I continue to rely on it in practice today! I highly recommend it to any student or attorney.
Eric Enciso, Attorney, San Diego
If you are an attorney or a paralegal, you need LBTN. I just cited it to another attorney on calculating dates.
Jonathan Stein, Attorney, Elk Grove, CA
I’m SO glad I purchased LBTN. It is my ‘go-to’ and has truly transformed my practice!
Laura Mismas, Attorney, Placerville, CA
[LBTN] is a great resource for . . . a new attorney that wants to make sure that his or her work is filed properly and is tired of asking for help, the sole practitioner that does a lot of his or her own work and the seasoned litigator that does not want to solely rely on support staff to make sure that all deadlines are met.
Lynn A. Shinmoto, Attorney, Los Angeles
LBTN has been the single most valuable book that I have purchased since becoming an attorney (and I’ve purchased quite a few).
Eric Rechsteiner, Attorney, Redlands
Thank you again for publishing such a valuable resource. I have been a LBTN subscriber from the outset, and would not want to practice without it!
Douglas R. Donnelly, Esq., Santa Barbara, CA
I’ve been a litigation attorney for six decades, and only recently found LBTN. I was astonished at its thoroughness and simplicity. Several paragraphs of rules are presented in a simple table. If I had to do a court filing, it’s where I’d turn for format, required forms, eFiling, eService, and deadlines. I only wish I knew about it sooner!
Richard H. Berger, Attorney, Los Angeles, CA
Thank you for writing this amazing book!! I loved it when I was a student at Santa Ana Community College, and continue to use it at the office. I’ve now chosen to use it in the Civil Lit class I am teaching at UCSB, and I am excited to share all of the great tools I learned from it.
Michelle DeRoche - Attorney/Instructor, UCSB Paralegal Studies
“It’s an excellent resource. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to make sure their court filings and service of process assignments are done right the first time.”
Steve Janney, Janney & Janney Attorney Service
I have had LITIGATION BY THE NUMBERS on my desk since 2007, and I can’t imagine my litigation life without it. Great resource. Julie is on top of all the new rules and makes sure that everyone using LITIGATION BY THE NUMBERS knows about the new rules too!
Debi S. Carbon, Paralegal
Once I knew we had to work from home, I made sure I brought my Litigation by the Numbers home. I use it as my go to all the time. Thank you so much for creating this book, I truly love it!
Anna D'Angelo, Legal Assistant, Ontario, CA
I use [LBTN] regularly as a tool to clarify rules, training and confirming my interpretation of state court rules. It’s a soup to nuts set that should be in all law firm libraries and Calendar Departments.
Susan Sterios - Calendar Coordinator
Even as a paralegal with over 13 years of experience, LBTN is my first go-to source for anything litigation. I use it all the time! It’s definitely worth the investment for the book and the updates.
Crystal Byrum, Paralegal, Law & Stein, Irvine, CA
I have relied on LBTN and its companion volume many times in my freelance paralegal business. It’s a no-nonsense, tool you’ll refer to again and again.
Jeff DiCello, Owner/Paralegal at DiCello Paralegal Services
I’m now retiring after being a legal assistant/secretary/paralegal for more than 30 years. I have appreciated our relationship over the years and still feel you have the single most important reference work for legal secretaries in California.
Wendy Larsen-Cleaves, Paralegal, Leona Valley, CA
I love this publication. It seems to answer every question I ever have as well as the questions I look up for my co-workers. I’ve had it for about 2 years now and use it weekly. Litigation by the Numbers is by far the most thorough, concise, and effective publication I have ever used. Thank you!
Anonymous, Paralegal, Encino, CA
LBTN is a jewel. We use it all the time. It is an easy to read and understandable, comprehensive resource. In fact today I am using it to figure out how to serve someone who is avoiding service of process.
Linda Fox, Paralegal, Placerville, CA
Whenever we debate procedure over here, my supervisor always asks, “Where’s your Litigation By The Numbers?”
Betsy Birdsall, Paralegal, Los Angeles
“Litigation By The Numbers is one of the most valuable resource books in our firm’s library. Not only is it an excellent reference book for the legal secretaries and paralegals in my office, but for our attorneys as well. I highly recommend this book!”
Elise Dresser, CCLS, Legal Secretary, Newton Remmel, Mountain View
“It should be a part of every California litigation secretary’s professional reference material. It has proven to be an invaluable tool, and is the first book I turn to when I have a question regarding filing procedures.”
Nancy Commerdinger, Legal Secretary, Irvine
