"Not Eligible To Practice Law"
 Beautifully written, poetic tirade against the corrupt juggernaut of the credit card intustry (and a few others) September 20, 2008

This is a beautifully written book. It is clear that the author is well informed and well read, often making clever allusions and drawing attention to relevant quotes. The book is meant to empower the debtor, both philosophically and practically. The author does not tell exactly how to file for a lawsuit, but he tells you what to be vigilant about, and many interesting loopholes in debt collection practices. This book breathed new life into my hope of getting out of debt, and eased my exasperation over my mounting credit card debt. The idea of debt is a culturally conditioned abstraction. The author is well suited to write about the topic, having earned both a J.D and an M.B.A. degree, and having practiced litigation in the field of debt for over 25 years. I can't wait for an updated version, but this is the book you need if you are considering settling debts. Bankruptcy is not your only option, and should be an absolutely last resort.

Nothing will stop corporate America to raising credit card interest rates to 100% if they can get away from it. Sure you can sue the them, but did you know you can sue the company that issued that debt? Like the ENTIRE Board of Directors too? NOTHING will stop companies from REAPING off consumers faster then this book. I could not even read the fine print on my CC bill. This allows you to FIGHT back. Don't believe the reviews, this is a Harvard Lawyer, he's knows EXACTLY what he is talking about. Go Stanley, Go! :-)
Horrible Book May 25, 2006

This book is one-sided and a total waste of time and money. The "solutions" he offers are not detailed and many are very unrealistic.
I am a 3L law student that knows a little regarding collections and this book is a horrible book for the average person to use. He recommends filing a malpractice suit to fight against medical collections - this is total BS and will get any attorney in hot water. Additionally, the average person that cannot afford a $500 medical bill will definitely not be able to pay the retainer on a med-mal suit that is groundless (let alone no attorney in their right mond would file such a suit).
He outlook on the judiciary system and juries is also distorted and very disturbing. Lawyers like Hilton should be disbarred.

I read this book and the author is very vague about how you can go about doing some of the things he brings up in the book.
At least he could have suggested some lawyers that are versed on
how to proceed with some of this debt elimination tactics that he describes. After reading the book one is left to fend for oneself without much in the way of help or useful information just vague ideas.
