We are described as a litigious society, where people sue at the drop of a hat. However, the truth is that it isn't all that easy for ordinary people to use the legal system to protect their rights. The system can be difficult to understand and offers many pitfalls for the unwary. It's a system of double standards and obstacles. However, it is still a system that affords a fighting chance if you know how to navigate its mazes and traps. And that's what this book is about. It's about acquiring the attributes and qualities that can enable a person to be successful as a plaintiff in our legal system. These qualities range from one's attitude to one's ability to analyze things in certain ways. It doesn't matter whether a matter involves personal injury, divorce, employment, disability, bankruptcy, or a business dispute. Certain traits and qualities tend to be exhibited by people who succeed in our legal system. This book is intended to teach you those qualities and to energize your confidence that the system does work... if you know how to use it to your advantage.
