About the Book
The Divorce Paralegal Handbook is a "how to book" for family law paralegals and legal assistants to help their lawyer navigate the administration of effective case and client management, the use of technology, document assembly, hearing preparation and presentation, deposition preparation and trial preparation and presentation. Each chapter contains brief and to the point discussions of each area, usually with one or more forms or checklists to make things easy. This manual is not intended to be an educational piece on substantive law and procedure.

- Develop techniques for eliminating or deflecting negative tactics
- Create a framework within which both sides to a dispute feel safe resolving conflicts without damaging the other party
- Maintain civility toward opposing counsel, parties, staff, members of the court system and third parties affected by the dispute
- Examine alternative dispute resolution and negotiation tactics and methods that lead to “win-win” solutions and encourage the use of the values and principles learned in our various faiths, which can and should be woven into the fabric of our problem solving
- Adopt law practice management methods for the preparation of mediations, trials, and negotiation, which foster civil and courteous conduct
- Implement behavior analysis and modification for lawyers and others involved in the process

When I found myself needing a divorce lawyer, my first and only call was to Chinn & Associates. From the onset, Mark told me not to worry, he had my back. It is pretty much impossible for me to not worry, but Mark was correct, he had my back. He and his staff were always prepared and kept me informed of what I needed to know. Janeah was an angel with a big sword, especially during the mediation process, working passionately to get me the best possible result. Mark and Janeah guided me through one of the most difficult and uncomfortable periods of my life, and I will be forever grateful for their hard work and support. While I hope I never need their services again, if I do find myself in this situation again Chinn & Associates will be my first choice for representation.Abbey M.

I highly recommend Mark. He brings decades of experience and highly credible counsel. He was a steady voice of reason during an emotional time for my family. He stays close to his clients and is quick to respond. I always knew he was "on it." He partnered with my family to the very end of what turned out to be a longer than expected process. The outcome was worth the wait. I can't recommend him highly enough.Anonymous
