If you can avoid family law litigation, that would be my first recommendation. However, if you must litigate, I strongly recommend Michael Morris and John Murillo. Both have represented me in court and are outstanding. I have a very combative ex (and unreasonable....she explicitly rejected settlement offers that were better than both court judgements and expert recommendations) so I have needed their help repeatedly over the years, and I believe I have received the best representation possible. I don’t think there is ever such a thing as winning a custody case, but Mike helped me secure the desired end result.

I cannot recommend Matthew Buttacavoli enough! From the moment I reached out for legal assistance, he exhibited the utmost professionalism and expertise. His deep understanding of the law and attention to detail made a world of difference in my case. Matthew took the time to listen to concerns, patiently answered all my questions, and made sure I felt informed every step of the way. His strategic approach and dedication to achieving the best outcome were truly impressive. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable, but he also genuinely cares about his clients. His support and guidance throughout the process eased my worries and gave me confidence in a very complex case. If you need a reliable and professional attorney, look no further than Matthew! He is, without a doubt, the best in the business!

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Minyard Morris LLP for their exceptional support in resolving my recent family dispute case. Attorney Alex Payne, his associate attorney Aditi Murillo, and the entire team demonstrated outstanding professionalism and efficiency throughout the process. Their expertise and quick responses helped me achieve a perfect resolution, protecting my interests to the fullest extent. If anyone needs assistance with family law matters, I highly recommend Minyard & Morris LLP. Their dedication and skill are truly unmatched. J Liu

Choosing the right divorce attorney can have serious consequences for you and your family for years to come - if not forever. Matthew handled my case with outstanding expertise. His attention to detail, communication, clarity and ability to strategize with us was remarkable. He was a pleasure to work with (as was his staff) and brought empathy and the right amount of humor to these incredibly intense situations. Matthrew represented me with the highest degree of integrity and grit. Furthermore, I felt his reputation for excellence and tenacity helped us not get bullied or bluffed by opposing counsel - which helped save us time, money and aggravation. Throughout the course of this family matter I used 3 divorce attorneys and have seen the work of many others. Without question I believe Matthew is the best representation of everyone whom I've worked with and seen. My job has me spend time with attorneys (not family) every day giving me further insight into how the law industry works. Matthew cut through the fluff that so often drains time and money and helped me get right to the business at hand - another somewhat rare characteristic. Overall I say with complete confidence that working with Matthew will get you best representation - and hopefully outcome - that you can possibly get. Good luck!

I always felt like Aditi had my best interest in mind, and I am grateful for her and her team's work.

I have spent nearly 8 years working with Michael Morris. My divorce was dragged out because my ex-husband did not want to sell our business, and because he was uncooperative and non-responsive. Initially, I expected an amicable resolution and to quickly move on with my life. This case was very complicated, and despite every attempt by Mike and his associate Denise Koeller to finalize it, every step of the way my husband and opposing counsel dragged it out. It was necessary to hire a forensic accountant to find the money my ex-husband was sending to his girlfriend. I think this is probably one of the most exhausting cases Mike and Denise have worked on. Mike is empathetic, really sharp and experienced. I felt that he and Denise really cared about me and did everything they could to make sure I had a good outcome. Denise has been a pleasure to work with and she was there whenever I needed her, often communicating on weekends and late hours. I always felt the billing was fair, and in fact, they both worked to keep costs down - at times, being the person on the phone speeding things up when I would get in the weeds with things that didn't matter. After such a very long time with many periods of inactivity due to my ex-husband's behavior, I felt at times like it would never end. Denise and Mike were always reassuring, but never over-promised. Mike was always professional and polite with the opposing side, but he never let a thing slip. Soon after Denise became part of my divorce, I felt like she was almost a friend. She and Mike worked really well together and that was very reassuring. I could say so much more, but this is already long enough. We're still tying up a couple small items, but the exhaustion and worry is over, and I am happy with the outcome. One last thing: I would not want to be on the other side of the table with Michael Morris and Denise Koeller.

Janani Rana is one of the finest lawyers and people I have ever met. She took my complicated case with multiple business assets, forensic accounting, and appraisals across the finish line in a timely manner. Her whole team was very professional and courteous (Liz & Denise) throughout the stressful process. I recommend Minyard Morris and Janani to anyone needing a first class divorce attorney.

Minyard & Morris is a class act. Mark Minyard is one of the finest gentlemen in So Cal; and John Murillo and his team are outstanding. They handled a very delicate situation for our family with class and poise. We could not have asked for better representation. I recommend this firm above all others.

I was impressed by Matt's expertise. He handled my case with professionalism and achieved an outstanding result. Matthew was always available to answer my questions and concerns. He put me at ease throughout the legal process. As i write this review so you have my most sincere thanks for the most professional representation. You have stuck by me through the years as a friend, and in the time it took dealing with this very stressful case. I think the time you took with me and my questions was far more than any other attorney would spend with me, and I really appreciated it. I could not have asked for better representation, and working with you, Matthew was incredibly easy and the least stressful part of a very difficult, painful event in my life. Thank you to you and your firm for your help.

I was referred to Matthew Buttacavoli (my lawyer) by a friend who heard about how the lawyers at Minyard Morris know how to protect women/new mothers experiencing divorce. And I’m so grateful for this!! I went in to meet Matthew B for a consult – and he met me well prepared and with a team of knowledgeable and highly-courteous team members and staff. During the consult I quickly learned that not only does Matthew B really knew the ins-and-outs of family law.. but most importantly that he would be able to provide empathy and a commitment for my case. Over the course of the divorce process Matthew B remembered almost every detail, was very clear and concise in his communications, and was especially responsive in a way that I knew I was in good hands and that someone was truly advocating for me and my 1 year-old child. Matthew B has a strong moral compass, is great with the courts (he’s a natural speaker while in front of a judge), has experience in/knows how to approach almost every scenario, and communicates firmly with the other party’s lawyers. I am so grateful that Matthew Buttacavoli is here at Minyard Morris in Orange County - and truly feel like him and his team were my guardian angels/army/protectors throughout my entire process.

Scott Savage is very professional and amazing at what he does. I highly recommend him.

I was referred to Minyard Morris LLP by a friend from church who worked with attorney Jon Little. I was given John P. Murillo to handle my case. John was the perfect fit for me and my divorce case. He helped me to understand what I needed to do at every step along the way. He and his paralegal, Jamie Duran Rayo, were very responsive with emails and phone calls. I felt valued and appreciated for all my work to produce documents timely. John proved over and over how smart and experienced in family law he really is. John worked tirelessly to give me the best service working long hours and even weekends. John was worth every penny. It is so very true in life that you get what you pay for. Therefore, when it comes to your life (and possibly your children's lives), go and get the best - John P. Murillo at Minyard Morris LLP!
