A Message from Firm Management

Building a Great Place to Work: The Minyard Morris Mission

For many years, the central vision of Minyard Morris has been to create more than just a law firm, but also a great place to work. A place where our team not only excels professionally but enjoys genuine job satisfaction. Our goals have always been to contribute to each individual’s success, job satisfaction, and daily enjoyment.

Hiring Family Law and Civil Litigation Attorneys with Diverse Skills

We are committed to hiring attorneys who are passionate about handling a full caseload, including those who thrive in the courtroom as trial lawyers and those who prefer working in our office. Interestingly, our team also includes seven lawyers who were civil litigators before joining our firm, showcasing the diversity of experience we value. We are interested in interviewing family law attorneys and also civil litigation lawyers who are rethinking their careers and have a desire to explore family law and the difference that family law attorneys make in the lives of their clients on a daily basis. We have found that civil litigation is an excellent perfect background for a career in family law, in that knowledge of the evidence code, the civil code, the code of civil procedure and discovery practice are fully transferable.

Why Lawyers Join Our Team

We are a final career destination firm. We do not hire lawyers with the strategy that they will be here for five years and then be replaced. We are not an “up or out” firm. We invest heavily in our people and plan on a very long term relationship.

Lawyers are drawn to Minyard Morris for various reasons. Our collaborative system, unparalleled educational commitment, mentoring, and partners’ open-door approach makes us a unique and appealing workplace. Our team spans a wide range of ages, from their 20s to their 70s, and we pride ourselves on the diversity of experience, heritage, religion, politics, and thought throughout our firm.

Celebrating Diversity and Team Strength

At Minyard Morris, we celebrate and embrace our diversity in every aspect. We don’t have a fixed formula for who we invite to join our team. Our requirement is simply a lawyer must be able to contribute to our firm’s strength, fit in with our team mentality, and desire to be part of a high-performance team.

Seeking More Than Just Employees

We are not just looking for employees; we seek individuals who are looking for more than just a “job.” We desire team members who are passionate about their work and who aspire to be part of something bigger – a team that excels not only in the practice of law but also in making a positive impact on the lives of our clients.

If you are someone who seeks to be part of a dynamic, diverse, and high-achieving team, Minyard Morris might be the perfect firm for you. We invite you to be part of our journey as we continue to grow and serve the people of Orange County with dedication and excellence.
