Minyard Morris LLP - Newport Beach, California

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!

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.

Denise Cullen

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.

I highly recommend the brilliant team at Minyard Morris - Michael Morris, Jennifer Corona, and Jennifer Daly. In a stressful time, they guided me through the trial process with patience and expertise. They were detail oriented throughout the process and Mike was measured, direct, and knowledgeable the day of the hearing. They are a solid group to have on your team.

I had the pleasure of working with Aditi Murillo as my attorney, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Aditi is dedicated to doing everything possible to advocate for your needs and achieve your goals. What I appreciated most was her honesty; she provided realistic expectations regarding potential outcomes, never giving false hope. Aditi’s straightforward approach, combined with her determination and expertise, made a challenging situation much more manageable. If you’re looking for an attorney who truly cares and is committed to her clients, Aditi is the one to choose.
