Orange County, California's
preeminent family law firm, was honored at OCAABA's 30th Annual
Installation Dinner with the Community Partner Award
NEWPORT
BEACH, Calif., July 23,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Minyard Morris, a Newport Beach, California-based family law
firm, received the Community Partner Award from the Orange County
Asian American Bar Association (OCAABA) at OCAABA's 30th Annual
Installation Dinner.
This award is a resounding testament to the
extraordinary talent and unwavering dedication of our legal team.
These attorneys aren't just brilliant legal minds; they are
compassionate champions for their community. Mark. E. Minyard,
Founding Partner, Minyard
Morris
OCAABA recognizes firms that foster professional development,
serve as mentors to local law students, promote diversity in the
private and public sectors, volunteer for legal clinics for low
income and disadvantaged communities, and support causes which
affect and advance the needs of Asian Pacific Americans and the
public at large.
"This award reflects the firm culture that we have built of
giving back," said Alexander C.
Payne, CFLS at Minyard
Morris. "For example, I was the president of the Orange
County Korean Bar Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that provides pro bono
legal services that focus on the Korean-American community, where
we recently raised $50,000. Mark E. Minyard has even pledged
$250,000 to Project Youth Orange County, a non-profit dedicated to
keeping at-risk youth in school."
"Beyond our continued sponsorships, we give back to the
community in non-monetary ways," said Payne. "Jonathan Little, an attorney at the firm, serves
on the board of Community Legal Aid SoCal. Denise Koeller, another attorney at our firm and
OCAABA Board Member, serves on the judiciary committee and mentors
law students. Janani S. Rana, a
Minyard Morris partner, recently
received the Trailblazer Award from the South Asian Bar Association
of Southern California (SABA-SC).
She is a past president of SABA-SC and serves on the Orange County
Women Lawyers Association Board of Directors. Michael Morris, another partner, was just named
as the Dove Honoree by Human Options, a non-profit that provides
much needed services to domestic violence victims. Everyone played
a part in this achievement," added Payne.
Minyard Morris was also proud to
share in the recognition of Monica Eav
Glicken, Executive Director & General Counsel of Public
Law Center (PLC), who received OCAABA's Community Service Award.
Several Minyard Morris attorneys
have represented clients of the Public Law Center, and a majority
of associates participated in their domestic violence clinic.
Payne, who volunteers at PLC and OCKABA Foundation clinics, has
witnessed firsthand the power of giving back a single hour. "Giving
back enriches our practice and lives, and it creates stability for
the community," explained Payne. "For someone with limited
resources, an hour of legal guidance can be life changing. Language
barriers can leave many Asian Americans highly vulnerable in legal
matters. They could end up homeless or even lose their children,
and with just an hour of your time, you can change the trajectory
of their life," said Payne.
"This award is a resounding testament to the extraordinary
talent and unwavering dedication of our legal team," said Mark. E.
Minyard, Founding Partner, Minyard
Morris. "Words cannot express how proud I am of our lawyers
and how thrilled I am to celebrate their accomplishments. These
attorneys aren't just brilliant legal minds; they are compassionate
champions for their community. Their commitment to excellence is
inspiring."
