If you are interested in representing yourself or your business in Small Claims Court in North Carolina in order to collect your debts or settle disputes, ON YOUR OWN - NORTH CAROLINA SMALL CLAIMS COURT is the book for you! Employing an attorney to represent you or your business may or may not make economic sense. The debt you are seeking to recover may be less than the fee charged by an attorney. While it may be economically desirable for an attorney to represent you or your business in Small Claims Court in some situations, you may find it more advantageous to represent yourself or your business ON YOUR OWN. An individual or business with a small claim may wish to pursue the indebtedness without an attorney, but may not possess sufficient knowledge about the way the court operates to feel competent to do so. If the debt is too small to justify employing an attorney or if the case never gets to court because the plaintiff does not have an adequate amount of knowledge of his or her interests, the debt goes unpaid. The plaintiff loses either way, because the debt is still not paid.By reading and studying this book, you will gain knowledge to assist you in maintaining more control over your bottom line. Larger net profits are important for any business enterprise. The materials contained on the pages of this book will show you how to better manage your company's small claim debt collection efforts by effectively using the Small Claims Court. You should be able to significantly increase your odds of collecting your judgment in Small Claims Court -- a court specifically designed by state law for the litigant with multiple small claims.ON YOUR OWN - NORTH CAROLINA SMALL CLAIMS COURT isa book that offers basic guidance to the individual who has never been to Small Claims Court, yet provides material that should be of assistance to the individual who has represented himself or his business on a regular basis. I cannot overemphasize methodical study and Minimize

Dedication of Joseph R. Cea: This book is dedicated first and foremost to my wife, Nanette, for putting up with me and my idealistic views of The Constitution that have brought her misfortune by mere association to someone willing to take on an entire police department in the name of justice. Secondly, to my entire family for giving inspiration but especially to my parents for providing life and education, my brother Frank for providing an opposing view to every idea I've ever had, to Daniel for providing enough traffic violations to work with and my grandmother for recognizing the "fighter" in me and to those that helped along the way including Jack Burns and Pamela Clickner. . . . . . Lastly, to anyone who has ever felt that the traffic violation they were just handed or the mechanic's bill they just received was unjustified and/or completely false but lost in court. Either because they didn't know how to proceed and defend themselves or believed that court procedures were too complicated to bother and decided to drop the case knowing they were cheated. Dedication of Daniel A. Cea III would like to thank my brother Joseph for giving me the knowledge, drive and inspiration to learn what I have and the opportunity to work with him on this book and help make it a reality. Also to other members of my family: My parents for being endlessly supportive, my brother Frank for being my brother (enough said on that) and my Uncle Mike. I would also like to thank Deans Pamela Pollard and Kevin Slavin of Westchester Community College. If not for their lack of integrity, mistreatment of students and general bad attitudes I would not have the drive to complete this book so I can tell them to "Kiss My" Minimize

Exchange student Jamie Penich left her small Pennsylvania hometown to see the world, but her journey ended with a brutal attack in a shabby motel room in Seoul, South Korea, where the raven-haired 21-year-old was found naked and stomped to death. Investigators zeroed in on soldiers, turning out barracks and trolling seedy bars for the GIs who partied with Jamie in the hours leading up to her death. But every lead produced only new mysteries. There were unbreakable alibis, a roommate who claimed she had slept through the crime, and lab tests that hinted at a secret lover. The investigation seemed destined for the cold case file until a high-powered American senator pressed for answers. Soon, a greenhorn detective settled on a shocking new suspect, a pretty blonde exchange student named Kenzi Snider. During an interrogation, the teenager confessed to killing Jamie during a lesbian encounter . . . but it was what happened next that was truly surprising. What really happened in Room 103? Minimize
