California Civil Litigation and Discovery – January 2024

“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!”

“Although I have been a legal secretary for over 20 years, I know how quickly rules can change and your book is a LIFE SAVER!!  I LOVE LITIGATION BY THE NUMBERS!  THE MOST USEFUL TOOL ANY LEGAL SECRETARY CAN OWN!”

“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!”

“I would highly recommend LBTN for anyone who wants to minimize the time necessary to get the staff up to speed on legal procedures.”

“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.”

“Whenever we debate procedure over here, my supervisor always asks, ‘Where’s your Litigation By The Numbers?’”

“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.”

“I’ve been meaning to follow-up with you, and inform you of how much I LOVE, and how much my students LOVED the books! Thank you for creating such AMAZING and PRACTICAL REAL “LIFE” textbooks.”

“I love LBTN! I turn to it constantly for answers that would take me hours of research to find otherwise! Other attorneys call with questions because I have the handbook, and they know we can find either an answer or a place to start inside! Because they always wanted to borrow it, they now have their own for themselves and their staff! Thank you for doing all the work for us!”

“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.”

“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.”

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!

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 Calendaring Departments.

I wanted to personally thank you for providing a fabulous product all these years. You and your company are truly impressive.

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!

I really appreciate this reference material and use it frequently! Saves me the time needed to constantly check the various codes for updates.

Your publication was a life saver for me as in 2018, by default, I became the firm’s legal secretary.  While I have been in the legal field for years as an administrator, I had never been a legal secretary responsible for calendaring, etc.  I have referred to your documentation multiple times throughout the last 5 years and am not certain what I would have done without it!
