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.

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.
