I had the privilege of having Ariel represent me in a USERRA case against the federal government. She is without question one of the smartest lawyers I have ever worked with and all I can say is I’m glad she was on my side and not the government’s!
Ariel is the legal equivalent of the Green Berets. I sent her in when I felt liked I needed the Special Forces to rescue me from Whistleblower Retaliation. She out wrote, out argued, and out performed a team of federal attorneys representing my Agency. Ariel got me transferred to a position away from the harassment at a higher GS grade and Step position.
I was very nervous about finding an attorney who would represent my interests. As they say, a good lawyer is hard to find. I engaged Ariel Solomon’s services about 5 months ago. I went into the case thinking I was going to be spending a lot of money for such a well-known lawyer/law firm. This wasn’t the case at all. Ariel burns the candles on both ends. She truly cared about me and my case. She skillfully maneuvered through everything the Department of Justice attorneys threw at her and helped me obtain the results I was looking for and in a cost effective way. Both she and her staff could not have been a better choice. I got my job back and felt confident at every step of the MSPB proceedings. I am very grateful to Ariel she has some of the best litigation skills in the court room I have ever seen. She thinks, writes and processes information faster than most and it is a skill that became apparent in the court room. My federal employer may have taken my military service for granted, but Ariel did not. She took me seriously and she got me my job back.
I retained Ariel after I was suspended from my position with the federal government. I contacted several attorneys at large firms before contacting Ariel. From the first conversation with her it was apparent that Ariel truly cared about the outcome of my case and my professional reputation. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and more importantly, she listened to what I had to say. Ariel represented me aggressively and in a cost conscience way. She arguments on my behalf were seamless. Thanks to Ariel, I was able to return to my job with my professional reputation, my pension, and my lost pay restored. I would recommend Ariel to any federal employee who needs an attorney to represent their interests aggressively.
I retained Ariel for a Disability Discrimination case and I continue to by impressed be her unassuming tenacity as a litigator. Her skill in the Court room was apparent from day one. Ariel’s command of my case and her eloquence insured that I received the high monetary compensation I deserved.
Need a compassionate, fierce, knowledgeable warrior in a federal law situation? Solomon Law Firm and Ariel Solomon is the right place to go. Feel like you’ve been lied to, trampled on, betrayed? You are safe in consulting with Solomon Law Firm. They will provide you with an honest assessment of your case, letting you know right up front if you should pursue further or not, saving you more time, agony, and money.

I bless the day I found Solomon Law Firm to take my case. My particular discrimination case took a few years to come to fruition, but with constant personal communication, compassionate care given to my worst fears, and outstanding professionalism and knowledge in dealing with the opposition and in the courtroom they finally attained an outcome better than I had dreamed could happen. I received the best monetary reward possible; but more imperative was the fact that I gained back the self-esteem and confidence I had lost. If you have suffered injustice in the federal system, Ariel Solomon and Solomon Law Firm, PLLC will right that wrong!
It is my personal and professional opinion that a better choice could not be made than to retain the Solomon Law Firm for Federal Employment Issues. As a Federal Employee of over 30 years I was impressed with the demonstrated knowledge of Federal Employment Law, Regulations, and especially the Collective Bargaining Agreement, including its history and applicable case law. This proved critical in settlement negotiations, recommendations, and most importantly during the ensuing hearings. Only hours into the hearings federal attorneys were holding and shaking their heads in dismay as their case had been picked apart leaving them looking inept and even foolish.
On a personal level Aerial and Paul made me feel comfortable, cared for, and assured of the legal standpoint of my case. I would even consider them friends as we stay in friendly communication to this day.
Outcome; After months of low-ball settlement negotiations, discovery, and depositions the federal government ended up offering and settling far in excess of any offer provided on my behalf. The local Union Representative stated, “I knew you would win, but that settlement is better than I could have estimated.” As there is no non-disclosure agreement as part of the settlement, I don’t mind sharing some of the outcome; Full reinstatement, all back pay and benefits, additional funds in excess of back pay, removal of all reference from my record, restriction on disclosure of any details, documents and records related to my employment, and best of all, THEY HAD TO PAY EVERY PENNY OF MY LEGAL EXPENSES!
Ariel saved my career and was helpful during my entire my case. I’m so thankful I was able to get connected with Ariel and her team. Ariel is so knowledgeable especially with federal employment regulations that I had no issues as a federal employee working with her. I had full faith in her and she was able to get my job back. Thank you Ariel!!
