Seltzer Family Law, PLLC - Fort Worth, Texas

If you are a dad I wouldn't recommend going with Lori. Honestly worst mistake I've ever made. I went with her initially based on a review sayin she would be fair towards dad's but no thats honestly far from the truth. I gave her so much info that she choose not to bring up in court. She was also very unprepared in court and so was I because she didn't prepare me well at all. She just seems very inexperienced in my opinion. If u are a male and want someone that FIGHTS for you. Look elsewhere she has no fight in her. And I'm just trying to save other people from going thru this experience I went thru with her.

Sarah and her team are the BEST! They are kind, understanding, caring, and work hard for your case. Over the past three years, they have become permanent residents in my heart. I went through a terrible custody case; a lot of it my fault. I listened to Sarah and Laura’s advice word-for-word when it came to co-parenting and making life changes. They prepared me for trial, my mannerisms on the stand, and made me feel confident through their professionalism when I went to court. They know family law inside and out, and are exceptional at handling high conflict cases. When I visited their office, had phone calls, or communicated through emails, everyone was friendly, professional and welcoming. I felt apart of the team and decision making throughout my case. They helped me through it, and we got the outcome I wanted for me and my children! I highly recommend Seltzer Family Law when it comes to your family!

Sarah is professional, efficient and caring.

She's upfront and honest.

She doesn't beat around the bush. She's direct with her knowledge and your options.

Her reputation stands for itself. She's an advocate for single fathers and will treat you like an equal.

After after a years long custody battle, Sarah began representing my husband a year ago.

Now we finally can have some peace. She helped him get awarded with attorney's fees, and they were able to mediate.

We definitely recommend Seltzer and Dally!

I have hired numerous attorneys over the years and none of them have impressed me like Seltzer & Dally. I have high expectations and expect an attorney to be knowledgeable, hardworking, and communicative. Sarah has exceeded all of my expectations. I also really appreciate her communication style of keeping her team informed so there isn't a single point of failure. My case is definitely abnormal since I am active duty military and living outside of the state and have a very complex case which includes Texas having to interpret Hawaii law for child support after a child turns 18. I appreciate her attention to detail and would definitely hire for anything I need in the future. Again, worked with many attorney's across multiple states but this firm is top notch.

Starting a journey into child custody was very scary and all new to me. I took advantage of the free 30 min consultation and absolutely knew I wanted Lori Dally to represent me in my case. She listened to everything I wanted and was able to get it for me. Lori did an amazing job when it came to being in court and answering all my questions outside of court. I'm so glad I chose Lori Dally and I will continue to recommend her to everyone!

Terrible experience with Sarah particularly. My coparent withheld my ability to see my infant on multiple occasions, Sarah charged me for documentation that didn’t improve or remedy the situation; the coparent was not held accountable whatsoever. The response I received from filing the expensive paperwork Sarah’s firm advised was my coparent filing a false police report saying their vehicle was broken into implicating me for which I had proofs were 100% false (the vehicle was NOT broken into or tampered with and I was nowhere remotely close to area it was located at the time in question). I was required to meet at police stations following that accusation - know what the coparent showed up in The undamaged vehicle in question on the DAY FOLLOWING the accusation. (For the record, it’s supposed to be a crime in Texas to file a false police report). Again, none of it mattered when we *never made it to court* — saddled with $25k worth of representation debt (when the standard for family court settlements is ~$11k to my understanding), a hefty child support amount, and ONE day more than a standard possession as a non-custodial parent. I wrote her an angry, frustrated “who do you work for here?” email to which she felt the need to call me personally at 3 am having me tell her I thought she was the perfect person to help me with my situation or she would be resigning my case. Should’ve dropped her then and there. I’m an honorably discharged veteran, a former federal employee, an Eagle Scout, etc. I was up against someone with a an assault record. Continuously told her firm I wanted a 50/50 coparenting agreement and wasn’t trying to skirt child support because I didn’t think it would help my case. Not what was presented at the 2-3 court days we were supposed to have, I took off work for and made special arrangements for but didn’t actually “take.” We never made it to court - ended up in mediation with a RETIRED judge who didn’t read or pay any attention to the facts of the case whatsoever as his blanketed opening statement at mediation was - “I don’t care what the facts are here, I’m not taking any child away from his mother short of something drug related” - a determination based solely based on gender/sex. I did 90% of the talking during mediation; Sarah and her assistant sat there and barely spoke. I’m not an attorney. I didn’t get paid $25k to represent someone. Had no idea what I was doing. Sarah worked with the coparent’s attorney and came up with a 30+ page document that provides more coverage for my co-parent than me and I was billed for it; co-parent walked away from the case on a pro-bono basis. If I mess up, jail time and fines. If the co-parent messes up, there would be hefty court fees for me to enforce anything and then next to 0 repercussions for them. My coparent has been so empowered by how easy it was to walk over me that she has continued to violate the agreement (never missed a day with my son, coparent’s missed a plethora; coparent doesn’t send written updates when our circumstances change, I’ve had to; coparent moved outside the agreed upon living area, repercussions are supposed to be me becoming custodial, NOPE; coparent filed 2 more false police reports since implicating but not naming me to avoid harassment charges, nothing stopping them). If you’re a single father out there for any reason and are looking for help, know upfront no one (courts, attorneys, etc) cares about the dad’s rights or involvement in a child’s life. Since the resolution, I’ve struggled to make ends meet between the debts and my obligations. Think when I’m struggling to this degree that I can afford or would even bother going back to court to have my coparent “held accountable” for the violations Steer clear of Sarah’s firm; felt massively overcharged for the minimal support or intervention I received from them.

Ms. Dally was with no doubt from day one fantastic. Compared to other attorneys that sold us false hope, she was realistic and she set for us realistic goals. She is very knowledgeable of the law and of the court process. If needed, I would use her services again. She is very informed and she puts a lot of work in each case. My husband and I recommend her strongly.

I hired Lori and the firm to represent me with my divorce. From the beginning to the end she was attentive and wise. Likewise was the firm. Never for a moment did I feel that I wasn't in the best of minds and hands. In the end she delivered a victory for me. I could not be more pleased with her representation. I highly recommend that you consider Lori and the law firm of Seltzer and Dally. You owe it to yourself.
