Minyard Morris

John Murillo with Minyard Morris came highly recommended from a friend. I needed someone to advocate for me and my children. From the consultation to representation in court, he has not fallen short once! John is compassionate yet all business and stays focused. I hesitated after my consultation because he was younger than I expected, but litigates like a 20 year veteran! He has your back and knows his family law statutes. I feel the support with his staff at Minyard Morris, Alena and Rebecca were intelligent, timely and organized. I would recommend John to anyone who has a high conflict divorce, he won't waste your money. Thank you, John for making my vacation with my kids stress free!

I had an outstanding experience working with John Murillo at Minyard Morris as my divorce attorney. He is incredibly detailed, knowledgeable, and truly understands the law on a deep level. John consistently went above and beyond to ensure I had the best possible outcome, and he always took the time to explain every step clearly. His preparation, communication, and dedication made a difficult process so much easier. I highly recommend him to anyone needing a strong, reliable, and skilled advocate.

I was referred to Minyard Morris based on their strong reputation in the Orange County legal community. John Murillo, Deborah Song, Rebecca Solorza, and Janani Rana worked diligently throughout my case, providing clear guidance and strategic direction to reach a resolution. Throughout the process, I was consistently impressed by their deep legal knowledge and experience. They provided honest, upfront counsel, kept me regularly updated, and asserted themselves effectively at critical moments. I highly recommend Minyard Morris to anyone in need of family law services.

I consulted with Matthew Buttacavoli twice over the last few years when post divorce conflicts arose and I required expert guidance. Issues surrounding your children are highly emotional and he was thoughtful, communicative and very knowledgeable. I felt that he truly understood the situation and he provided an honest assessment while remaining kind and logical. I felt confident he had everyone’s best interests at heart and works to provide guidance to that end. Highly, highly recommend for any family law related issue.

I cannot recommend Matthew Buttacavoli of Minyard Morris highly enough. From the very beginning, Matthew took the time to explain every step of the process, educate me on what to expect, and ensure I felt informed and confident throughout an incredibly difficult chapter of my life. Even before I formally retained him, Matthew helped me navigate mediation and made sure I was thoroughly prepared for every meeting. His preparation, strategic thinking, and attention to detail were exceptional. While my husband went through four different attorneys during the process, Matthew remained steady, focused, and always several steps ahead. One of the things that sets Matthew Buttacavoli apart is his ability to see solutions that others may miss. At a pivotal moment in our case, he recommended a course of action that ultimately changed the trajectory of the case and had a profound impact on my family's future. His guidance provided clarity, protection, and stability during an extremely complicated and emotional time. Once I retained Matthew, I always felt we were one step ahead. He anticipated challenges before they arose, developed thoughtful strategies, and consistently demonstrated both legal expertise and genuine care for my family’s well-being. Divorce is never easy, but having Matthew Buttacavoli and the team at Minyard Morris by my side made all the difference. He is warm, compassionate, highly intelligent, and exceptionally prepared. I am deeply grateful for his representation and would recommend Matthew and Minyard Morris without hesitation to anyone facing a family law matter.

As a busy, full-time professional, this was one of the most difficult decisions that I had to make. I interviewed several divorce/family law attorneys in Orange County, and after meticulous and thoughtful consultations, I am grateful that I hired Scott Savage from Minyard/Morris to represent me. I cannot say enough positive things about my experience with Scott and his expert team (Denise and Anne). Going through a complex divorce is one of the most stressful experiences imaginable, but having Scott in my corner made all the difference. From the very beginning, Scott provided me with a deep understanding of the complexity of family law. In addition, everything in my case was handled promptly and efficiently- documents were prepared quickly, deadlines were consistently met, and nothing fell through the cracks. Every step had been clearly communicated, and actions were taken right away, which has given me a great deal of confidence during a stressful process. He also took a calm, strategic approach that helped me stay focused during very emotional and difficult moments. Scott was always well-prepared, highly responsive, and took the time to explain every step of the process in a way that gave me confidence and clarity. What truly sets him apart is his ability to balance strong advocacy with professionalism. Even in a highly contentious environment, he remained composed, thoughtful, and solution-oriented—always prioritizing my best interests and, most importantly, my family's well-being. I felt supported, informed, and empowered throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and highly effective family law attorney, I would highly recommend Scott Savage without hesitation.

If you’re navigating through a high-conflict divorce or looking for a family law firm that truly knows what they’re doing, I can’t recommend Minyard Morris enough. They may cost a little more upfront, but you absolutely get what you pay for. After working with them for seven years, I actually spent far less overall than many people I know who hired "less expensive" attorneys because Minyard Morris never wasted time, money, or energy on unnecessary litigation or billable hours. From day one, I felt like I had a team that genuinely cared about protecting both my interests and my child’s. They are incredibly professional, responsive, strategic, and always seemed to be one step ahead. Mark Minyard told me Alex Payne is one of the strongest litigators in family law, and he was absolutely right. Alex guided me through my extremely high-conflict divorce where the other party changed attorneys six different times and repeatedly filed inaccurate and unnecessary documents. Throughout the entire process, Alex consistently reminded me to stay calm, trust the process, and keep my focus where it belonged. His strategic approach and confidence gave me peace of mind during one of the most difficult times of my life. You don’t just hire an attorney at Minyard Morris—you gain a dedicated partner who will fight for you with integrity, professionalism, and exceptional skill. If you want a firm that is prepared, efficient, and committed to achieving the best possible outcome for your family, this is the team you want in your corner.
