Overall the firm of Minyard Morris was wonderful and so professional. Specifically my attorney Janani Rana was awesome. She was so detailed, precise, punctual, empathetic, and confident. She communicated concepts so well and really exhuded a great command of the law. She was great at explaining the process, explaining the law, while at the same time not inundating me with excess details. She continually worked in a manner that showed an emphasis on resolution while at the same time prioritizing the health & benefit of my son. She was assertive and staunch on certain necessary issues while suggesting compromise in other areas. I would trust her wholeheartedly! I would refer her to anyone. Janani was the consummate professional but also emotionally was so so supportive.

Death, and Taxes...and Divorce. 3 of the most difficult things we face in life. You hope you have a great Doctor, Accountant and Attorney to help with these major life stressors. I was lucky. I found exceptionally bright, empathetic, and caring people. Janani Rana was one of them. She listened to me. More importantly, she heard what I was saying and what I needed. She was in my corner the whole time. The stress from the divorce was almost unbearable, but because of Janani, I felt I would be O.K. I've dealt with Attorney's over the years, I have several family members who are Attorney's so you can believe me when I say if I've met someone who knows their job, looks out for your best interests, and is by your side the entire time....then you've found the right Attorney. Minyard Morris, LLP is a business. Like any other business. But, they look out for you and take care of you. They knew my budget. They never exceeded it. They kept their costs under control. They worked with me every step of the way. I'm not sure how many other firms look at you like a person, and not a check book. You won't go wrong with Minyard Morris, and you definitely won't go wrong with Janani Rana. Rob W.

Matthew Buttacavoli was excellent in handling my custody case. He was able to calm me and keep me focused. He is caring and passionate about doing what's best for my case. His knowledge and his focus on my case made me feel like I was his most important client. His attention to details really made a difference in my case. No words can express the gratitude that I have for him and his work. Thank you Matt.

I would recommend this firm to anyone having to go through a divorce. My attorney and the entire staff treated me like I was their only client. My experience was excellent, my attorney was prepared and I was totally satisfied with the outcome. No one wants to go through a divorce but if you have to and want the best representation, a professional yet very caring staff this is beyond any doubt the firm you should use. I want to thank my attorney and support this firm because they did such a fantastic job for me and I hope my comments will encourage anyone who is considering using them, to do so. You will be so glad you did, Marcia VanDalsem

My experience with Minyard Morris was very positive. Lonnie Seide is an outstanding attorney. He is reliable, professional and compassionate. He not only provided his level of expertise, but also offered emotional and practical support which can be an invaluable benefit during the divorce process. He is an honest and caring person who looks out for your best interest but also the best interest of your children. I felt he was there to guide and counsel and truly took the time to help me reach decisions that best addressed my concerns while helping me not get caught up in the emotional aspect of the process. I highly recommend Lonnie and have referred him many times.

I do not have enough words to express the gratitude I have for my attorney, Lonnie K Seide, in Newport Beach. Lonnie handled my entire divorce proceeding a few years ago and continued to represent me with post-divorce issues. With my very difficult marriage I knew my ensuing divorce would be extremely challenging. I was encouraged by attorney friends in the Los Angeles region to seek out the legal services of the very reputable and established firm: Minyard/Morris in Newport Beach. Within the firm I was referred to Lonnie Seide who had much experience with divorces involving family owned practices/businesses. With his legal expertise and tenacity, he was able to pull me through a very difficult divorce. Lonnie Seide was steadfast in every area. I appreciated not only his knowledge of the law but his application of it in regards to documentation and court preparation. All material produced was very professional, straightforward, and complete. I did not have to worry about deadlines being met or documents missed. Lonnie and his staff are extremely organized and consistent with producing polished work and needed calculations. Communication was always present. If there were questions in regards to understanding material or legalities Lonnie took the time and patience to explain what was mandatory. He was very quick in response time to both phone calls and emails (wn 24-48 hr.) And if there were foreseen delays, I was informed by his staff of court days or conference meetings. Lonnie has excellent delivery in the courtroom. He is assertive, knowledgeable, and well respected. This was assuring for me through all court appearances and trials. All these components attributed to the optimal judgment and final decision given by the judge. Although I had a very difficult and manipulative ex-husband, who himself had a notable attorney, the judge was able to clearly see the evidence presented. Having dependable and strong representation is crucial when two parties are unable to resolve issues together on their own. The law is also very intricate and complex. My divorce issues were grueling and highly emotional. Having Lonnie and his team brought me a sense of security and protection. I would not have survived this ordeal if it had not been for him! I would recommend Lonnie Seide to anyone! ~Lydia Wong, Irvine August, 2013
