Over the years, Diane Seltzer has worked with many firefighters and police officers to ensure that the government does not interfere with the civil rights of people who seek to ensure public safety. She takes great pleasure in assisting firefighters and police officers in obtaining, or being reinstated to, positions from which they were unlawfully prohibited from holding due to their disabilities, religious beliefs, gender, prior EEO activity, and other protected characteristics.

Unlike many employment lawyers, Diane Seltzer's philosophy is that there are many good employers, and there are many good employees; neither is inherently "bad." She is able to represent both management and employees precisely because she accepts each case on its individual merits, without classifying either group as one whose members she does not wish to represent.
