- Trials: The firm will be involved in trials on January 20 and 26. Trials often occupy all of the day before and the day of trial, so we ask your patience during these days.
- Holiday: Chinn & Associates will be closed, Monday, January 17, 2011 to recognize the great Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. (Our firm generally closes when all courts are closed.)
- Firm “Blawgs” Our firm has a written blawg published every Monday (“blawg” is a legal, blog). This blawg generally covers important points of family law. The firm publishes a video blog every Wednesday on topics pertaining to life lessons learned by Mark Chinn during 33 years of law practice. This video blog is usually only 90 seconds and would benefit any person, lawyer or not, so pass them on to your friends and family.
