Lonnie Seide Minyard Morris

Divorce is indecent by definition. The only real defense you have is integrity, and your attorney is your representative and reflection. In this regard, Mr. Seide is a velvet hammer. His courtroom demeanor and litigation style are quiet, commanding and… effective. I am in the midst of a complex... and difficult divorce, and I am also an attorney. When my husband filed for dissolution, I chose Minyard Morris. I am currently represented by Lonnie Seide and Fabio Foti of that firm. If you're looking for an attorney, talk to actual clients. Bitter reviews from the other side of the courtroom speak more about the source than of the attorney. If litigation is formalized argument, divorce is a cage fight--in Orange County and Los Angeles, often with press coverage. Some people view it as an arena without rules. This is a mistake. You can’t fight corruption with corruption. The best attorneys are the ones who recognize and live by this principle. I'm not happy about divorce, obviously. I am, however, an actual client and I'm happy with my divorce counsel—Lonnie Seide and Fabio Foti of Minyard Morris.

Lonnie Seide - an attorney of Excellence!

Lonnie K Seide is a family law attorney with the Minyard Morris firm in Newport Beach, California. My divorce, settlement and a few post divorce issues, were all handled through Lonnie Seide. I could not have asked for a better attorney. Not only was he so knowledgeable in family law, so expedien...t with each issue at hand, his delivery in court was excellent! Going through a divorce, especially a contentious and complex divorce, was the most difficult experience I have had to go through. Having an attorney who is truly there for you, who will represent your case efficiently with expertise and assertion is essential! Not only was Lonnie Seide adept at family law, he was always at work with my case, in and out of the court room. There were no delays on his part. Communication was superb: All phone calls and messages were returned quickly; and all matters were discussed so that I could understand the legalities and the language of law regarding my case. I really can not say enough about Lonnie Seide, and would refer him utmost to anyone going through a divorce. Jeni - Irvine, CA

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I've had an opportunity to negotiate and litigate cases against Lonnie Seide for over 20 years. Not only is he the consummate professional and always exceedingly well-prepared, but he has a passion for his profession and his priority is always the well-being of his clients. I have had many cases against many family law attorneys in Orange County over the last 35 years and having a case with Mr. Seide (whether litigated or settled) has always been a pleasure. Not only is he a great advocate for his clients but also a lawyer with stellar ethics and skill.I endorse this lawyer."
