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 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!

Some hard questions arose from the moment I decided to move on from my career post at a federal agency. I was keenly aware that both my family's interests and the public interest might be affected. I am so very glad that around that same time I spoke to Daniel K. Gebhardt, Esq. at the Solomon Law Firm. Daniel really knows federal employment law and understands the crossroads and challenges that federal employees often face. If you seek his advice, you will find him a good counselor, a powerful advocate and an earnest friend.

Ms. Solomon and her firm represented me in my case against my employer, the U.S. department of Homeland Security. I could not be more thankful. I can only describe Ms. Solomon as a force of nature who put my employer over a barrel. She has an incredible presence and dominated the courtroom and the testimony. She delivered a forced settlement from DHS and left me with a smile and a feeling of vindication. I got a very large settlement after Ms. Solomon destroyed them at the hearing. My supervisor –seriously-- cried during his testimony. If you are a federal employee and have a complex case like mine, don’t trust your profession and your federal career with anyone else. This is your lawyer And this is your law firm.

I engaged the Solomon Law Firm originally to deal with a dispute regarding employment with a government agency. I felt that the agency was treating me unfairly due to a sudden onset disability. I had been working under a disability accommodation for over 4 years and had received good performance reviews. After working for 4 years, they suddenly decided to remove my accommodation. In essence, they were trying to remove me. The Solomon Law Firm, specifically Dan Gebhardt, saved my job and had the agency reimburse me for legal fees. Mr. Gebhardt also resolved the agency’s claim that it had overpaid me. Shortly afterwards, my long-term disability insurance company claimed that they had made a mistake and overpaid me benefits for over 4 years. They expected me to repay an exorbitant amount because of this miscalculation. Again, Dan Gebhardt was able to settle the case for a fraction of the amount claimed by the insurance company and at the same time crafted a settlement agreement that protects me from future actions. I hope I never have another reason to engage Mr. Gebhardt, but if I do, I won’t hesitate to call him. I recommend Mr. Gebhardt without reservation.

Great defensible lawyers from Solomon Law Firm, such as Dan Gebhardt do an outstanding job for those federal employees in need of assistance. Mr. Gebhardt was so outstanding in replying to my agency, it took the agency over a month to make decision. The decision was favorable and short. Well worth the $. Thanks Mr. Gebhardt & Solomon Law Firm!

Dan Gebhardt is a fantastic EEO attorney. He is currently working on a major case for me and saved my job when the odds were against me. He has worked tirelessly and at all hours of the day and night. I can't say enough wonderful, positive things about him. He is clever and well educated in his field and goes out of his way to ensure the best outcome. I highly recommend him and his firm. Harold Sharrer 05/08/2018

I am pleased with their representation. I highly recommend the Solomon Law Firm for all federal employment related matters.

Ariel Solomon and Gerald Gilliard did an excellent job representing me. They gathered the facts expertly, and kept me informed at every turn. Their expertise was evident from the very start. They are clearly leaders in what they do which they demonstrated every step of the way. I found their rates less then those of their competitors. I was very satisfied with the Solomon Law Firm. They are first rate professionals with a human touch. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking federal employment law services.

Ariel has a presence that engenders confidence and yields success. I made the right choice and the department of veterans affairs knew it. Thanks to her diligence, perseverance, and pure skill level my medical degree and professional reputation remain intact - exactly where they belong. Ariel exhibited an impressive knowledge base as she won my case. Her actions spoke volumes about her character when she helped me arrange the funding necessary to see my case through to completion. Since my case's completion I continue to rely on Ariel's skillful counsel as issues arise.
