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.

Service is horrible

Jeff Rago is not a good attorney. We have been fighting for vistation rights for a year and we have not gotten any type of rights as of today. He never made himself available to speak with us regarding the case. He pretty much agreed with whatever the defendant recommended. I would never recommend hi...m to anyone.

I have no idea who you are as you are clearly not my client. If you feel I have done something wrong please let me know. There are numerous factual inaccuracies, namely you not receiving any rights as of today or speaking to me about the case. If you are claiming I have not spoken to you, ever, that is clearly a lie since a family law case ongoing for a year would have numerous hearings or it would be dismissed by the Court. Further, to agree with whatever the "defendant" has recommended is impossible since that would be on a criminal case. If you clearly are a client please make yourself known as I have no cases that we have been fighting for a year and have not gotten good results and also have not spoken with our client. When did you hire? What is your name? Who is the "defendant"? If you are not willing to identify yourself and your case please remove your post as you clearly are not a client.

Rago Law Delivers

Mr. Rago came highly recommended to me by a few different friends when I needed legal help. Mr. Rago's professionalism and results far exceeded my high expectations. My divorce was handled in a timely manner, and a child protective order for my son was taken care of immediately. I refer everyone who ...asks me who my attorney was.

Beating the odds

As a single father seeking primary custody of my child, the odds were already against me. Through Mr. Rago's hard work and diligent discovery questions and case preparation, he was able to not only get primary custody for me but also reduce the child support by 60%!

  • 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.
