Delighted

I contacted Mr. Rago for help on my on going divorce case that was initially assigned to another lawyer whom I had hired. The case unfortunately was not being addressed, until Mr. Rago became my leading counsel. He was thorough with all the things required from me before our first hearing that was he...ard by a judge because of Jeff. He is well prepared and organized, his staff are excellent and work with diligence. Everything has worked in my favor due to the endless effort of Mr. Rago.

Custodial arrangements

Jeff Rago and associates went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of. I was able to fight and get everything When it came the custody and visitation agreements for my boys. I will never be able to show enough of my gratitude. Jeff never backed down and made sure that not only I was of... main importance but so were the well being of my boys. He showed up over and over to stand up and make sure everything was set in order. I highly recommend Mr.Rago, without him I would have not made it through the entire process. He made sure to always answer my questions with reassurance and in a timely matter. If you ever need help in this department he is definitely your man. Payments were easy and affordable.

Thank you

I can not thank Mr. Rago and his staff enough. I was referred to him by several persons in the West Texas area (some attorneys themselves). Jeff Rago and his firm made me feel at ease and encouraged me to ask any and all questions I had, which they always answered. I must say through out my proceedi...ngs I was extremely nervous but at no time did Jeff or his staff try to promise me something just to earn my trust or money. I was always spoken to as a person and not just someone who walked into his door. I highly recommend this firm, I would call him if I was accused of J-walking. It is cheaper to be represented by Jeff Ragos law firm then trying to do any proceedings by yourself.

possesion of 82 pounds of marajauna with intent to distribute federal case

I was scared & confused about the system i have a family house a music carrer i need to obtain & my public defenders just looked at me like a regular case number & did not lay down any facts but after going in & talking about my case Mr.Rago he made me feel a sense of peace made me feel he was the ri...ght lawyer to fight for me so i will now hire him as my attorney & have no regrets he laid down all the options & made me feel comfortable in trusting him to fight for my freedom i would recommend him he is a straight foward attorney but willing to fight for you. I will give a update after my case is settled i wouldn't think twice about hiring Mr.Rago he takes in all aspects & is on your team

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
