The Divorce Paralegal Handbook
The Divorce Paralegal Handbook is an easy-to-read manual for family law paralegals and legal assistants on every aspect of law practice, from client intake to document management, discovery and hearing and trial preparation. The book includes a multitude of forms for every aspect of practice.
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. Such education falls in the realm of formal paralegal training and the training in individual law offices in the states.

- 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

I highly recommend Attorney Mark Chinn. He’s all about lessening the impact on the family members. I had a very contentious divorce, and he walked me through every step of the way. Glad I followed his advice. And he’s not the most expensive I found him very reasonable, considering the time it took to complete.

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your generosity in sharing your CLE materials with me. Your insights and expertise have long been an inspiration, not just in Mississippi family law but on the national stage as well. Your leadership in value billing has truly shaped the way family law attorneys approach their practice, and I deeply respect the impact you've had on our profession. Beyond your professional accomplishments, I've always admired the incredible successes of your family. Watching your daughters thrive in their own careers and families over the years has been a joy. It must have been an especially proud moment to present a CLE alongside Carly what a remarkable testament to your influence both as a lawyer and as a father. It has been an honor to know you and call you a friend over the years. Thank you again for your kindness and generosity. I truly appreciate it...and wish continued success to you!Attorney Phillip T.
