Matthew and his team are top notch! He is very thorough and never overlooks a detail. He and his assistant Anna a very professional, prompt, and understanding. He is the one guy I trust to get an unbelievable outcome which he did for me. Highly Recommended.

Minyard Morris is a first class firm. Especially thankful for the assistance and attention provided by attorney Scott Savage. Thank you!

Thankfully I was put in touch with Mr. Buttacavoli by a friend when I needed a family law lawyer. He was honest, professional and helped me reach my desired outcome. Best part, he was fair. I would highly recommend Mr. Buttacavoli to any of my friends!

Matthew Buttacavoli at Minyard Morris is absolutely fabulous. Matthew was very knowledgeable and professional dealing with my complicated and contentious case. I was extremely happy with the outcome.

Who thought getting a divorce could be a pleasant experience? Well mine was from the moment I walked in the door I was greeted with a professional and caring staff. My divorce went without a single hitch, my attorney was fantastic and the whole thing was over before I knew it. The office is absolutely beautiful from the decor to to the entire staff. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants their case handled in a timely, efficient, manner.

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.

Divorce is indecent by definition. The only real defense you have is integrity, and your attorney is your representative and reflection. In this regard, Mr. Seide is a velvet hammer. His courtroom demeanor and litigation style are quiet, commanding and… effective. I am in the midst of a complex and difficult divorce, and I am also an attorney. When my husband filed for dissolution, I chose Minyard Morris. I am currently represented by Lonnie Seide and Fabio Foti of that firm. If you're looking for an attorney, talk to actual clients. Bitter reviews from the other side of the courtroom speak more about the source than of the attorney. If litigation is formalized argument, divorce is a cage fight--in Orange County and Los Angeles, often with press coverage. Some people view it as an arena without rules. This is a mistake. You can’t fight corruption with corruption. The best attorneys are the ones who recognize and live by this principle. I'm not happy about divorce, obviously. I am, however, an actual client and I'm happy with my divorce counsel—Lonnie Seide and Fabio Foti of Minyard Morris.

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
