Collaborative Firm Meetings at Minyard Morris

For decades, the lawyers at Minyard Morris have held weekly meetings dedicated to analyzing, brainstorming, and strategizing for their clients’ cases. These collaborative sessions take place three times a week—on Mondays at 5:00 pm, Tuesdays at noon, and Thursdays at noon. During these meetings, the firm’s 19 family law attorneys, who collectively possess over 350 years of experience, gather in what is essentially a mandatory conference to address the complexities of current cases. Discussions encompass a wide range of topics, from how to handle specific opposing counsel and approach unique issues with assigned judicial officers, to updates on relevant case law, recent appellate decisions, and new statutes.

The firm also reviews insights from recent seminars, experiences from similar cases they have handled, settlement possibilities, evidentiary issues, trial strategies, valuation of case matters, the likelihood of prevailing on various issues, and alignment with clients’ goals. In essence, these meetings cover every conceivable aspect of a case, offering a thorough and collective approach to every issue.

Within the family law community, the value of these meetings is well recognized. Lawyers and judicial officers often inquire about them with curiosity, acknowledging their significance. This approach also attracts top legal talent to the firm, drawn by the unique collaboration and teamwork. Minyard Morris leverages the depth of knowledge from its 19 attorneys, maximizing their collective expertise through these regular conferences.

The Value to Clients

What benefit do clients receive from these meetings? While it may be difficult to quantify the exact value, the advantages are clear. A client represented by a lawyer with access to the insights and counsel of 18 other family law attorneys, all focused exclusively on Orange County family law, gains a strategic edge. This is further supported by the backing and resources of the entire Minyard Morris team, an advantage that smaller firms may struggle to match.

Take a common scenario, for instance: in these meetings, an attorney may raise a legal question about a specific position taken in a case. Often, one of the firm’s 19 lawyers will have previously handled a similar issue, recalling relevant appellate court decisions and resolutions. In such cases, hours of legal research can be saved, thanks to the collective memory and experience of the group.

Other times, an attorney may seek a “reality check” on the contested issues of a case to gain fresh perspectives and opinions from colleagues. There may also be discussions regarding the odds of success before a particular judge, or considerations on which expert witness to retain for a case. Perhaps most importantly, these meetings allow for the structuring of settlements and the creative brainstorming necessary to overcome obstacles in negotiations. The variety of scenarios and discussions covered in these sessions is vast.

A Commitment to Excellence

The firm dedicates the time of its 19 lawyers to these meetings three times a week, and the time spent is never billed to clients. While the internal cost is significant, given hourly rates ranging from $350 to $800, Minyard Morris has remained committed to this practice for decades due to the immense value it brings to clients. Although other law firms may engage in informal discussions about their cases, no firm dedicates the same frequency and intensity to these meetings as Minyard Morris.

These collaborative sessions are one of the defining features that set the firm apart in the field of family law. They are integral to providing the highest level of client service and achieving the best possible outcomes. Minyard Morris firmly believes that these meetings play a vital role in the representation and success of their clients.
