AVOID DELAY AND CONFUSION BY BRINGING A COMPUTER AND PRINTER FOR IMMEDIATE ENTRY OF ORDERS

Monday, July 26, 2010 by Mark A. Chinn

I am amazed at the failure of lawyers to utilize the technology available to them to save time, money and confusion. One of those situations involves attending a mediation or court on a motion, hearing, or trial and then leaving without a typed and signed agreement or order. Attorneys typically leave such situations and return to their offices where one attorney later prepares the document and then sends it to the other attorney for approval. This takes extra time and requires a return to the... Read More

KILL THE BILLABLE HOUR! ABA TAKES CLEAR STANCE AGAINST THE BILLABLE HOUR IN RECENT "E-ZINE"

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 by Mark A. Chinn

On July 1, 2005, Chinn & Associates dumped the billable hour. Scholars believe the billable hour evolved from cost accounting practices in the forties and gained full momentum in the 70's. Lawyers used to operate from fee schedules but these were banned by the US Supreme Court. The billable hour became king. The problems with the billable hour include:
It creates incentive to delay, because lawyers are paid more if the case takes longer. It rewards... Read More

YOUNG MOTHERS BE CAREFUL WITH ROMANTIC INTERESTS; YOU COULD LOSE YOUR CHILDREN

Tuesday, July 20, 2010 by Mark A. Chinn

There are many times in family law where we lawyers simply do not know how a judge is going to rule. However, it seems almost uniform that judges do not like custodial parents having lovers stay overnight with the children present. The feeling against that is so strong that it can lead to a loss of custody. The recent case of Sullivan v. Beason, No. 2008-CA-01827-COA (Decided June 15, 2010) is a good example. There, the young mother of two minor children lost custody because of... Read More
