Knowledge is Key

I was hesitant to retain an attorney thinking I could use Self Help resources. Months of frustration and roadblocks were cleared with about 10-15 min in front of the judge with David by my side. Believe this: He WILL fight for you backed with knowledge and confidence. Save yourself time and hearta...ches. Highly recommend David to those in need!

He fought in that courtroom

My fiancé and I had a consultation with Mr. Minyard and I noticed right away he has a no-nonsense stance. He took our custody case serious even though we were at the consultation phase. A few weeks later we were in court via an ex parte and the case took a little time but Mr. Minyard was honest a...nd he fought in that court room. We ended up with a favorable outcome even better than what we planned for. This was two years ago, but I still think about how he handled our case. He won’t baby you but he will be honest and I’ll tell you one thing; when he walks into a courtroom you’ll be glad that he’s your lawyer and not the lawyer for the other side.

Honest, reliable and professional family court representation

Mr. Minyard came highly recommended as a family court lawyer from multiple sources and he did not disappoint. Mr. Minyard shows professionalism, honesty, and provided a great sense of trust. He is open and honest about the court process and encourages his clients to be the best people they can possib...ly be. He is stern but precise, and encouraging. I highly recommend him to anyone in Tulare County looking for HONEST representation for family court cases

Highly recommended knowledgeable attorney

He has been my attorney for just shy of 15 years. He is knowledgeable, works hard for his clients and gets straight to the point. Highly recommended.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
