I enjoyed a terrific experience in my dealings with Cynthia. She was extremely informative, patient, compassionate, understanding, and gracious with her time. She took her time to break down and properly explain legal jargon which helped me better understand the professional career situation I was undergoing. She was very attentive to my circumstances, and definitely assisted me in a positive direction during a very stressful and confusing time. Her communication was very clear, and she was always prompt with returning messages. I highly recommend Cynthia. Thank you very much Cynthia! read more

Don't call they won't help you they did absolutely nothing to help me. I did the consultation. It was a big waste of time they do not need any more money anyway. read more

Having to call a lawyer when you're laid off is not easy when youre already worried about how youre going to take care of your family, but Matt made me feel better right from the first call. He went above and beyond for me and my family and I am greatful for him. Thank you, Matt! read more

I just had a free consultation with Matt but it was precise brief effective clear and helpful. Straight to the point. read more

Every once in awhile you come across a situation so extraordinary it's hard to properly contain it with mere words. Perhaps words indeed are insufficient. Because words are only a translation of energy and frequency and these such feelings reflect the experience I had with Ares Law Group. They are a true relay race. Matt was the leadoff and second leg. He assured me I was in good hands dealing with the challenging situation ahead of me. His authenticity, manner of communication, and ability to relax me in the face of high stress was comforting and allowed me to go forth with ease and trust. Cynthia, she was the third and anchor leg. In the midst of my anxiety she massaged my concerns and gracefully (along with realistically) supported me with a fair ending that was explained every step of the way. Her thoroughness, and compassion is what allowed me to trust in the process. The process from start to finish was seamless. Almost to the point of it being fake news! But it wasn't by a long shot. If you don't remember any of what I've said, remember this: This is the best you're going to get. This is where you want to be. Trust them. I did. And I'm happy I did so. read more

I had a very positive experience working with Matthew and Cynthia. I reached out to them several months ago for a consult regarding a very difficult and stressful legal situation. I ultimately decided to have them represent me based on how pleased I was with our initial conversation. Matthew is very thorough and articulate in how he explains things. This was important for me because I needed someone that would not mind covering every detail and scenario, or answering all my questions. During certain parts of my case, I would let my emotions get the best of me and would want to crawl under a rock...Matthew surprisingly (for an attorney) was very kind and gracious in calming me down, and really wanted to ease any concerns I had. He kept things realistic, but also knew when the appropriate time was to be aggressive. And big plus, he is VERY responsive. read more

I'm so grateful for Matthew, who provided me with excellent advice. He is indeed the combination of excellence and integrity. Thank you, Matt, again for your prompt phone call, thoughtfulness and kindness. You resolved my issue today! God bless. Hala read more

Thank you for the quick reply and referral for my particular situation regarding bill AB5. It is much appreciated!

Ms Sandoval is an attorney of the highest: diligence; knowledge; compassion and integrity. She truly cares about her clients and works tirelessly to ensure that justice is accomplished. Equally, she ensures that the client benefits to the fullest extent possible. At the same time, she is always honest and realistic about prospective outcomes. I would recommend Ms Sandoval to any employee or employer who needs the very best attorney. read more

Mrs. Sandoval kindly accepted to review my severance package in a timely manner and provided a detailed and thorough assessment. She was very sensitive towards my situation, made me feel comfortable to make an educated decision regarding this matter, and provided referrals to other professionals/attorneys for areas that she was not comfortable advising me. She was very knowledgeable in her area of expertise and I highly recommend her. read more

I highly recommend Matt and Cynthia at Ares Law Group. I found them online after speaking with several other firms. I realize I had a smaller case/issue but they did not treat me that way. They took the time to fully assist me and paid me the respect and attention of having a huge case. I was really impressed with them and have since recommended several contacts who have had the same experience. If you need an employment lawyer, this is the only firm you need to go to. Thank you! read more

I had a great experience with Cynthia and Matt at Ares Law Group. After leaving a message, they were very responsive and got back to me right away.

They are professional, knowledgeable, thorough, and very kind and personable. They communicate things really well and answered all my questions so I always understood exactly what was going on. They also kept me updated on what was going on so I always felt in the loop. Because of this a very stressful situation was made less difficult. I am so happy I found and worked with Ares Law Group. I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for employment attorney. read more

I have personally not worked with many lawyers, but did go through a few from Yelp to help me with my current situation. Most of the lawyers I spoke with made me feel like I was wasting their time with my questions. That is until I spoke with Cynthia. She was so kind and listened to my story and offered me some great advice. Being from a customer service field I feel like GREAT customer service is far and few between now days. It's hard to find someone who really genuinely cares about their clients and I felt that way with Cynthia. I personally hope that I never have to seek the advice of an attorney again, but if I do, I know who I will be calling. So if you looking for someone who truly cares about you then I suggest you give Cynthia a call. She's AMAZING!!! read more

Matt D'Abusco and Cynthia Sandoval are amazing attorneys. I had a nuanced question for them about a difficult employment law matter regarding PAGA, and they directed me to several on-point cases that directly answered the question I had.

I had a great experience at Ares. I worked with Matt, who was approachable and took the time to help me understand the intricacies of the case I was dealing with.

I had a terrible and emotionally tolling experience with this law firm, particularly with Matt D'Abusco and Leslie Glyer. I had a very long first meeting with both of them where we discussed details of my case, every event with dates and times. I had such a knot in my stomach that I had not eaten or slept in days before or after this meeting. Leslie supposedly took copious notes. They took my case and were supposed to move forward with it, except not much happened. One year later, Matt referred my case to another attorney who was a friend of his. Matt basically referred me to another nightmare, as this new attorney hardly calls back, replies to emails or texts. A year and a half later and not much has happened with this attorney either. I asked Matt for my file and copies of all the notes to provide to the second attorney, but there were no notes, no details in my file. This has been a complete waste of my time and energy, not to mention the insanity you feel when your own attorney blows you off. Your attorney is supposed to be your advocate. One who looks out for you, is honest with you and makes sure the referring attorney is solid. Unfortunately, Matt failed me in all of these. I have had to completely start from scratch with the new attorney whose name I will disclose at a later date. I have also been advised to file a formal complaint. If you ever experience the same neglect, I urge you to react and visit calbar.ca.gov. This is a very hard and emotional journey. You need an attorney who stands by you instead of abandoning you. read more

I would highly recommend Ares Law Group to anyone that has an employment related legal issue. Matt and Leslie are excellent attorneys and will provide you with practical legal advice every step of the way. You are in safe hands with them! read more
