Ariel and her team were successful in getting a DRAMATIC award from my federal agency when they removed me from my position. Trial is a miserable experience, but I am thankful I found Solomon Law Firm!!! Ariel was both incredibly impressive and incredibly kind every step of the way. A remarkable person and lawyer.

Ms. Solomon was my attorney for an MSPB case in 2013. She filed and immediately requeated an extension. When time came for the hearing she talked me into postponing the hearing to show the Judge "good faith" that we were trying to settle the issue out of the case. She claimed if we do not settle we it would only be about a 10-day delay and we would be issed a new court date. I agree to listen to the what the agency was offering but Ms. Solomon neglected to tell my experts of the cancellation and I was required to pay their services which were not rendered. Ms. Solomon negotiated a settlement which was similar to the one I had rejected before hiring her sevices. When I regected this horrible offer she attempted to guilt me into accepting by say the Judge and I do not know why you would not accept the money. Two months later I finally get the chance in court. Ms. Solomon acted assured but when my firat accuser was on the stand she neglected to ask him about incidents which I had brought to her attention which I thought was crucial. This person accused me of not being fit for duty because I was suicidal however as I brought to Ms. Solomon's attention this Officer had two incidents of false statement on his record one of which was a negligent discharge of his service weapon while he attempted and failed suicide. Another witness I had requested was a trained peer counselor who I asked to stand foe we as we had frequent conversations because we served together for 15 years. On the stand Ms. Solomon had no relevant questions for the individual. At recess I asked Ms. Solomon why she did not question individual more Ms. Solomon claimed that she did not feel he was open to answering as he had been during the phone deposition. Ms. Solomon determined that after her one question to that individual even though I had written notes to her during the defense questioning. I asked her why she did not go into detail with the individual, a trained peer counselor who I had regular conversations she claimed I never told her. Yet, I had and she was aware that is why I had him on my witness list. Beside the verbal explanation, I was writing note to Ms. Solomon during the defense question which I did not realize she was ignoring. The MSPB is a process which should have taken abot a 120 days to resolve. The attories agrwe with the Judge to submit cloaing arguments in writing but the for the Judge to decise the case was coming due so with the concurrence of Ms. Solomon and the defense the case was dismissed and refiled by the court allowing time for the parties to work on closing. Not only did the dismissal give Ms. Solomon time to complete closing the Judge also gave addition time one the case was filed for the parties to file their closing. With all the EXTRA time Ms. Solomon had to complete the closing she was still late in filing and requested a last minute extension to complete closing. Now with the closing statment submitted by both side the Judge by MSPB regulations should have decided the case at or about Christmas of 2013. I had contact with Ms. Solomon until about March of 2014 when Ms. Solomon and her staff stopped replying to my phone messages and emails. The MSPB had been delayed due to extra high volume of cases they did not have the the staff to accommodate. Since Ms. Solomon stopped responding to me I figured she had dropped me as a client because I was no longer able to pay her fees. There was no funds on retainer. I contacted the court in mid to late March 2014 and received a call from the Judge in early April 2014. The Judge explained to unusual high call volume and promised a decision to me before 90-days. He also explained to me that he should be communicating with me directly as I have an attorney.

I hired Ariel Solomon to defend me in a suit that was brought against me by a company whose services I used. Because Ariel had an excellent understanding of both the legal process and the negotiation process, what started out as a suit against me, concluded as an award to me by the initiating party. I consider myself to be a fairly bright and capable person with significant experience in negotiating large business deals, but I have to admit, hiring Ariel was by far the best action I took to defend myself.

First and foremost there is a reason Ms. Solomon has been selected by Super Lawyers Magazine two years in a row because she is in a word… Super! Ms. Solomon represented me in a litigation matter and I have nothing but glowing approval for her work. She is 110% professional and extremely intelligent which is only complemented by her immeasurable passion for practicing law. She genuinely cares about her clients and will go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and will not rest until she gets you the best results. You can count on her!! She always makes herself available for any questions or concerns you may have at any time of day. She is hard working, efficient, precise, knowledgeable, determined, and simply… the best. I highly, highly recommend Ariel E. Solomon. Ultimately, if you need representation do yourself a favor and contact her….she will get you the results you’re looking for, hands down!!!

Ariel is a fantastic attorney who has great respect and admiration for the federal employee. She is incredibly intelligent, and can best be described as a fighter. She represented me in a whistleblower retaliation case which was eventually settled to my satisfaction and all along the way she explaind the entire process in terms I felt comfortable with. If you need someone who you can count on, someone who knows the law then look no further then her. Your found your champion

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 would not recommend this attorney because she missed deadlines with my case, and continues to use my information on the internet after i dismissed her.

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 thought she did a wonderful job while she worked on my case, my only complaint is she gave up on me and my case after leavin the firm she was with.

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.
