I recently had the pleasure of working with Dori Foster for my custody proceedings, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. From the moment I met with Dori and her team , I knew I was in good hands. They took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions in a compassionate and understanding manner. Throughout the entire process, Dori Foster was incredibly responsive and always kept me updated on the status of my case. They provided me with clear and concise explanations of the legal issues involved and helped me navigate the complexities of the process with ease. What really stood out to me about them was their professionalism and dedication to getting the best possible outcome for me. They fought hard on my behalf and never backed down in the face of opposition. Thanks to their hard work and expertise, I was able to achieve a favorable outcome in my custody case. Overall, I would highly recommend Dori Foater to anyone in need

I spent about $100K on Foster - Morales and got pretty much nothing out of it..... Then I hired a Hialeah attorney for less than a 1/5 of what I paid F&M and got AMAZING results.

You hope that when you are paying top dollar for an attorney, that you are getting high quality work, & a shark who will help you and your case. Unfortunately, that was not my experience with this firm. I met with them in August. I had a short marriage of 3 years, with no children & one shared savings account. My ex-husband had a history of violence as a judo master & he currently works as an arms manufacturer. I have been an elementary school teacher for 5 years, yet my ex-husband was able to make an injunction claim of domestic violence against me as justification to oust me from my home. This firm did nothing to protect me, nor my interests. No forensic accounting was used against my ex-husband, nor offered. The case went on for 6 months, as a paralegal combed through solely my tiny teacher financials. When I finally asked in December why such a simple marriage was taking so long to dissolve the entire firm dropped me without consultation and kept 80% of the $15,000 retainer.

Hired Dori foster Morales to represent me in court, instead she ranked up an outstanding legal bill, never took my case to court, lost in mediation and wanted me to settle for 1/3 less then I settled without her. It’s all about billable hours for her.
