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.
