Now try collecting.

Just walk into their office with a court order and start taking items. I would grab laptops first. Cops will show, then after they see the court order they will help you start bagging things.

This sounds more of a fantasy (I don't deny that what they showed in the video happened but I'd be careful about assuming it generalizes) and I'd not recommend others trying similar stunts.

One note, this is a big PR piece for the author's business, Legalist. Disclaimer really doesn't come until right at the end.

No, just search for "Legalist" and you'll see various mentions in which he mentions his connection. In fact his article is really "how you can easily do this yourself" (though sure, he's happy for you to use his service instead). I wish all corporate white papers were that impartial.

I went to small claims myself once and it was about as easy as he describes. You don't need his service.
