When I was in one of the darkest periods of my life-deciding to divorce my husband- I felt like I didn't know where to turn or who to turn to for help. I was given a name from a friend, so I called. I first talked to Mark Minyard, who spent quite a bit of time asking me questions about my situation. Soon after, I heard that he thought Matthew Buttacavoli would be a good match for me. From the minute I met Matthew, I felt like I had found someone who would confidently guide me through the process and have my best interests at heart. Entirely professional, incredibly bright and always thinking about what is best for his client, he lets you know that his passion is helping people navigate the confusing world of family law. His ethics and values show he is a man of integrity. He answered any questions I had, explaining complicated issues in a way that I could easily understand. His guiding force is to get the best possible outcome for his client. I was heard and valued all throughout the process. He answered questions and concerns promptly, even evenings, vacations and holidays as he didn't want to leave me wondering and worrying about an issue. The outcome of my case was the best possible outcome and even more. I can wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Matthew and I will do so if anyone I know needs help.

Matthew and his team are both professional and intelligent! In addition, Matthew pays attention to the details, which do matter!! The result obtained in my case was better than I expected. I Highly Recommend Matthew and Minyard Morris.

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.

I’ve come to Matthew Buttacavoli for sound advice on more than one occasion. His professionalism and expertise is unmatched. I’ve referred friends and colleagues and would encourage anyone seeking support to us this firm. While Matthew could have pushed for court and higher fees he’s always helped me to take the high road and avoid conflict where possible. Thank you!!

First off, beautiful building and interior. The secretary (I can't remember her name) was a very nice woman.
With that being said, I called on Monday and received a call-back immediately by Mr. Minayrd Morris himself. After briefing me on how his firm works, he chose to pass me to one of his firm's lawyers, Janani. This made me question my choice in law firms but I decided to attend the consultation anyway.
On Wednesday (2 days after my initial inquiry), I walked into their office right at my appointment time, but I was told to wait 10-15 minutes for Janani. Finally, Janani arrived and asked me a few initial questions. I made it clear my wants and my intentions and it seemed like she was talking me out of what I wanted.
There were times when I questioned if this law firm and this lawyer were with me or against me. After requesting to end my appointment early, I left their office much more confussed than when I arrived. I do not recommend this law firm.

I had the opportunity to be able to consult with both Mark Minyard and Scott Savage regarding divorce issues. Both of them were very responsive and provided sound, practical advice that thoroughly covered various scenarios and my options. I believe they have the best interests of their client at heart, and was very appreciative of their advice and how they worked with me. Very professional firm.

I received valuable, timely advice and excellent service from this firm!

I have been around attorneys and working with them for the past 11 years.
Mr. Little is one of the best I have seen and/or interacted with.

His ability to "speak the language" of the client sets him apart.

Another great quality that I treasure in Mr. Little, is his willingness to go the extra mile without attempting to overcharge for his work.

All that said, I believe Mr. Little to be an exceptional attorney and human being.

Mr.Jonathon Little is an asset and compliment to a terrific firm. His professional comportment, coupled with his wit and humor, guided me through an uncomfortable process with ease and expediency. I was stoked to have him represent me.
I almost want to go through it again because it was so fun to deal with something that is usually akin to dental surgery... And it didn't hurt that much afterwards!

Outstanding and very professional firm. I had retained Jonathan Little for my case and I must say, I had couldn’t have been more satisfied. Jonathan guided me through all the details with patience and care. I really felt like my opinions was heard and my questions was answered. He was exceptional in court trials and someone you really want in your corner.

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!

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,

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!
