Sarah A. Darnell

If you are in need of a family law attorney, I would highly recommend Sarah Darnell. She mediated my case regarding an Informal Marriage and filed a Petition for Declaratory Judgment that No Informal Marriage Exists. She was successful in the mediation process! She, and her entire team are the be...st (very professional, very responsive) they know what they are doing!

It’s a really tough road for a father to gain custody of his children regardless of how great the father is. Even though my ex is very verbally, mentally and physically abusive to my children as a school teacher she would come to court soft spoken, lie to the court and eventually wind up on top. I s...pent nearly 6 years with 3 different attorneys fighting for my children each time with the same results until I found Sarah Darnell. Sarah from the first day took control of my case and was a very aggressive ally. Do not let her southern accent and beauty fool you, in court Sarah dominated the other attorney and put my ex on the ropes, several times while she was cross examining I just wanted to stand up and yell... Go Girl!! Long story short I now have primary custody of my children! Fighting for your children and their best interest is the single most important fight you may have and you need to take no chances with your children’s future. I would recommend any father in my position to not waste time and money on other attorneys and just go for the best!

I cannot say enough good things about Sarah Darnell and O'Neil & Attorneys. Every step of the way they were for me and helped me through a difficult process while living outside the U.S. Whenever I had a question, they were quick with an answer and always keep me up to date with the latest informatio...n. I would recommend Sarah to anyone who needs help in the Dallas area.

I hired Sarah thanks to a GREAT friend who recommended her. From my first consultation with Sarah, she recognized my ex was intrepreting our divorce decree as he so fit. Sarah was able to help me stand up for what was right and put it on the right track. I was facing the issue of increasin...g child support (to meet standard guidelines). I knew that doing so would be more difficult than my divorce and had it had the potential of becoming explosive. The fact that it could become explosive did not "shake" Sarah at all. Sarah was confident she could handle anything that came her way. The night before our first hearing we were made aware of circumstances which totally change our stratagy. Sarah was able to think quickly and was prepared to go first thing in the morning. We ended up going to court several times - each time the ruling was in our favor. Sarah is very confident and competent in what she does. Yes, she helped me in that making sure I received the appropriate child support but it goes way beyond the money. I have gained so much strength from Sarah. Sarah gives you the tools you need long after the hearing is done and over with.
