Ruggles Law Firm

Amazing experience with Matt! A highly experienced and personable attorney who helps explain legal language within agreements clearly, and genuinely cares about providing you with the best legal advice for your situation.

Great at fighting the bad guys for you. Watching Ruggles Law Firm work is like Gandalf facing the Balrog and saying ‘You shall not pass.’ Highly recommend.

Matthew Ruggles is an outstanding employment attorney—knowledgeable, responsive, and client‑focused. Matthew is highly motivated to help, provides clear and strategic advice, and consistently responded quickly to questions and concerns in a very down to earth way. Highly responsive, knowledgeable, and client‑focused. Excellent employment law guidance and support. Would strongly recommend.

I had a great experience working with the Ruggles Law Firm, specifically with Matt Ruggles, who reviewed my severance agreement. He was extremely thorough and thoughtful in his review, offering clear, practical feedback that helped me fully understand both the risks and opportunities in the agreement. His experience is immediately evident, especially given his background representing large businesses before dedicating his practice to advocating for employees. That perspective clearly shows in the quality and balance of his advice. I felt well-informed, supported, and confident in the decisions I made as a result. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Matt and his firm to anyone needing employment counsel.

Ended up going with another firm, but they have tremendous staff and really listen to you during intake!

I had an exceptional experience with Ruggles Law Firm in Fair Oaks during my consultation for a Separation Agreement. Matt and Todd provided thorough legal advice, clearly explaining the process and offering actionable suggestions to safeguard my interests both now and in the future. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and sincere concern for my situation instilled confidence and peace of mind throughout the consultation. I highly recommend Ruggles Law Firm to anyone seeking knowledgeable and trustworthy legal guidance.

Adam and Matt helped review my severance package that I received after I believed I was wrongfully terminated after being on FMLA. They walked me through the process, answered all of my questions, and helped me through a very stressful time. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is going through something similar.

Very grateful to Matt and Todd for their assistance in reviewing my severance agreement. They were very knowledgeable and able to advise on specific terms, and were also very friendly and prompt in their communication. Would definitely recommend them for their services.

I was very pleased to come across Ruggles Law Firm via a Google search for an employment law attorney to review my separation agreement. Matt Ruggles returned my call the same day I called, unlike a few other law firms. I decided to meet with him on a phone call today. During our conversation, I appreciated his professionalism, kindness, and his expertise in employment law and reviewing separation agreements. I am grateful that my matter was not too small for him. Matt took the time to review the document with me and provided a straightforward and honest assessment, which gave me the confidence to move forward with it. He asked good questions to better understand my challenging work environment. I will definitely work with Ruggles Law Firm again should I need expert legal advice on an employment matter in the future.

Had a great experience with Ruggles. No charge to look over my severance package and certainly made me feel better about my recent layoff. Thanks you!

I had a really positive experience with Matt Ruggles and his team. They were quick to respond, easy to talk to, and very clear in their advice. Matt went through a draft agreement with me section by section, explained what each part meant, and helped me understand what was important versus what was more routine. He was patient and practical, and I came away feeling much more confident about how to move forward. If I ever need employment counsel again, he’d be my first call.

Matt and his team were fast, honest and overwhelmingly helpful at a time when I needed it most. It was a great experience and I could not have asked for more.

Call them NOW! Highly recommend consulting with Todd, Adam, and Matt for any legal advice regarding severance paperwork or work related issues. I appreciate their evaluation and honest advice navigating my unexpected departure from my workplace. They did a thorough assessment and answered all of my questions. I wish I had called them sooner! They exceeded my expectations! Thank you Ruggles Team!

These guys are the absolute best! Awesome communication and unafraid to go after large public institutions. You need a labor law attorney? They should be your first call.

Matt and his team were very prompt and professional. I would certainly recommend Ruggles Law Firm for any employment law needs.

Huge thanks to Matt and Todd! After I reached out regarding some tricky language in my severance and mutual nondisclosure agreements, they responded the same day. I sincerely appreciate Mark’s attention to detail and expertise in California employment law, his help explaining the implications of the agreement, and his guidance in how to respond to my former employer. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of assistance with California employment law.

Matt, and Todd, Were very helpful and very detailed oriented and I appreciate the direct communication that Matt shared. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone who needs a very compassionate lawyer. Thanks Dave

I recently had the pleasure of working with attorney Matt Ruggles and his team, including Todd, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their exceptional service. I needed an employment separation letter reviewed quickly, and Matt responded with professionalism, clarity, and efficiency. He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and made a stressful situation much more manageable. The entire team was prompt, supportive, and clearly knowledgeable. I highly recommend Matt Ruggles Law for anyone needing expert legal assistance—thank you again for your outstanding help!

I can't recommend Matt Ruggles and his assistant Adam highly enough. From the very beginning, they treated my case with care, professionalism, and genuine attention to detail. I felt heard, supported, and informed at every step. Even though my case wasn't a major one financially, they never made me feel like less of a priority. Matt's legal expertise and calm, strategic approach gave me confidence during an incredibly stressful time, and Adam was consistently responsive, kind, and organized. Their guidance helped me navigate a tumultuous severance negotiation and successfully appeal an unemployment denial — a process that felt overwhelming and scary until they stepped in. If you’re looking for a legal team that is both highly competent and deeply compassionate, this is it. I’m truly grateful.
