Jeffrey D. Rago

I had the pleasure of having Jeff Rago as my attorney, and I can’t recommend him enough! His communication skills are top-notch; his office was always available to answer my questions and provided timely updates. Jeff’s strategic approach and attention to detail really made a difference in my case. ...Thanks to his hard work and dedication, he has exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and results-driven attorney, Jeff Rago is the one to call. I’m truly grateful for his support and expertise!

A true coward in more ways than one. A couple of years ago I hired Mr. Rago to take on a bogus harassement case. Paid $1500.00 for his services at the time. Never spoke with him, only his investigator. The investigator was excellent. However Mr Rago never had any contact with me directly or ...I with him. I seemed to be designed that way on purpose by this office. I was told case would be dismissed based on what was presented in the complaint. However pre-trial court dates would come and go and I would not receive notifications from him or his staff that they were coming up. I was the one that would log in repeatedly to the system to find out that my dates were approaching. Otherwise I would have missed them. Sometimes I would get a call a few minutes before the hearing was to start. Every time I would call for updates or progress, no response or no results provided. If it wasn't for me inquiring I would have no information. On his contract or agreement that you sign upon hiring him, there is a clause that states that if you make repeated inquiries to his office, there is a fee that may be assessed to you. It appears that returning calls, or progress updates are not priority and that if you keep asking why they are not responding, their response could be a fee to you. Long story short, THE THINGS I WAS TOLD WOULD HAPPEN DID NOT. I was also told to pay fees for subpoenas. I paid and was told they filed it to the wrong company and that I would have to pay again for them to send it to the right people. I insisted the fault was not mine and they claimed they filed it to the right place later on. However, there was no documentation for the results of the supposed 2nd subpoena. I had to take it upon myself to negotiate on my own when I was ultimately told by Mr Ragos office that if I wanted them to truly give me the results I was promised from the beginning, I would have to pay $4000.00 more or I could pick another attorney. I chose not to pursue the matter further since HIS SERVICES WERE DISMAL. I agreed to some courses and more fees to simply get this nonsense over with. I negotiated some courses off on my own without his help since he ignored my request to do so. A final note, on the last court date my case was being presided by a different judge than the one I had been assigned. When I put up a counter argument based on what I was told to me by the original judge, the prosecuting attorney raised his voice and threatened Mr. Rago by telling him he would "the deal" if I kept insisting on what the original judge advised me directly. Mr Rago instead of standing up and fighting for me , his client, he told me the "back and forth" was nonsense and to accept. HE WAS A TRUE COWARD. Don't know if he currently is. My opinion is that it was a waste of my time and more importantly my money for something I could have done with a public defender on my own. Again all of this is my opinion.
