What You Can Expect

At Minyard Morris, we offer an exceptional level of professionalism, ethics and integrity. You can expect the highest level of service, attention and commitment to your case. You can expect your attorney to listen, to understand and pursue your goals and to fully support you at all stages of your case. Most of all, you will receive strategic advice with an analysis of all options relative to your goals, taking into consideration the cost-benefit of each option.

Why Minyard Morris

Our firm is committed to your privacy. We do not publicize or disclose our client list or results. To further narrow our specialization, we have limited our practice for over 45 years exclusively to cases filed in Orange County in order to maximize our knowledge of the rules, customs, practices, preferences and leanings of each Orange County family law judge, which we believe gives us an advantage and the ability to represent our clients that is unmatched. The firm and our divorce attorneys have been widely recognized for their skill, as evidenced by our numerous certifications, appointments, board work, accolades, awards and distinctions. In fact, a great majority of our clients are referrals from colleagues and past clients.

Preparing for Your Consultation

At Minyard Morris, we understand that divorce can raise fears and anxieties. Your initial consultation with us is designed to efficiently and cost-effectively educate you about the law that relates to your issues and to minimize your concerns about the unknowns.

Spending time organizing your thoughts, questions and concerns before our meeting is one of the best ways to alleviate your stress and apprehension.

About Minyard Morris FAQ

One issue to consider is what benefits there may be to retaining a larger family law firm as opposed to a sole practitioner or a small firm. Does a firm bring added value to the representation? Do the resources of a firm increase the opportunity for a better result? Can a divorce lawyer practicing alone or with one other lawyer provide the depth of experience and backup necessary to compete? If you retain a sole practitioner or a small firm, what happens on your case when the lawyer is on vacation, ill or involved in a long trial? Is the case at a standstill? Who will return your telephone calls or answers your questions? Who will take care of the emergency? With 15 Orange County divorce lawyers we have the depth necessary to immediately address any emergencies regardless of a lawyer’s other commitments. The progress of your case does not stop just because your divorce lawyer is unavailable. Read our page about What Makes Minyard Morris Unique as an Orange County Family Law Firm.

We leverage our experience for our client’s benefit by conducting multiple strategy meetings weekly where the firm’s divorce lawyers collaborate and analyze our clients’ unique cases. These meetings focus on strategies, practicalities, cost-benefit analysis and the law. The meetings take place Mondays at 5:00 p.m. and during mid-week lunches. We discuss the issues, the opposing divorce attorney and the judge assigned to the case. Our institutional knowledge of Orange County family law, the judges and the other family law attorneys, make these meetings invaluable to our clients and the result. The meetings are even more valuable to our clients considering that our 15 Orange County divorce lawyers are thoroughly educated in the most recent developments in family law. We have spent almost $100,000 annually on seminars and conferences for over a decade, making certain that all of our Orange County divorce attorneys stay current on the cutting edge of issues and the most recent developments.

We believe that the more specialized a lawyer is, the higher quality his or her lawyering will be. We believe that limiting our practice to family law, and further limiting it to matters filed in Orange County, gives us a significant edge. Read our page about What Makes Minyard Morris Unique as an Orange County Family Law Firm. How can a lawyer who handles cases in multiple counties and who handles cases in several different practice areas provide the same quality of lawyering as a lawyer that exclusively practices in Orange County?

It is our strong belief that it is in a client’s best interest to be represented in an Orange County divorce by an Orange County divorce lawyer, not by an out-of-county divorce lawyer, even if that lawyer co-counsels a case with an Orange County divorce lawyer. Having two separate firms represent a client is more costly, increases the chances for mix-ups and confusion between the firms, and could cause other significant problems, and may result in double-billing.

We accept no out-of-county cases, and we believe we better serve our clients by focusing on Orange County procedures, nuances, local practice, and the local rules of our Orange County judges. Click here to learn Why You Should Hire a Large Family Law Firm.
