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.

A great family law attorney

Professional, experienced and gets the job done. I don’t have anything negative to say. I know who to turn to when I need help. Mr. Minyard is someone I’d recommend to anyone dealing with a difficult divorce or custody situation.

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.
