Rager Law fights for what’s right
I have had the pleasure of being represented by the Rager Law Firm and I can’t thank them enough as I was in the best hands. Jeff, James, Ashley & Alana were amazing and guided me through the whole lawsuit process. The team was very responsive and kept me informed as this was my 1st time needing legal counsel and I wasn’t sure what to expect. Jeff & James believed in me & the case & never gave up on me. They worked around the clock to make sure the truth was put out in front of the judge and jury and they did an amazing job with telling my story and showing evidence that I was wronged. We faced a few challenges but that didn’t hold the team back or make us fold. If anything, it made us fight harder for the truth. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to represent me on the matter & would definitely recommend the Rager Law Firm to have your back. I was treated with respect and the team carried themselves very professional in the courtroom and kept their cool. I can’t say the same for the defense side. I feel a sense of Justice was served even though I wish I didn’t have to go through what I went through. I am very grateful and appreciative that the Rager Law Firm brought closure to a difficult time in my life and I can move on.

An exceptional attorney who delivered life-changing results!
Jeff Rager and his team came highly recommended to me and now I know why. From the onset, Jeff immediately listened to me, collected the facts, analyzed my situation, realistically evaluated my case, and told me what to expect during each gateway of this legal process. Prior to meeting Jeff, I was hesitant to commence a lawsuit against a goliath of a company as I was unsure that justice would be achieved. This company had already mistreated me, cast me aside and made me feel that I had no voice after nearly 20 years of successful service and loyalty to them. My whole world was turned upside down and I was emotionally wrecked. Jeff made me feel empowered and was with me every step of the way. I have never met more professional, reliable, responsive, and caring people! It was just what I needed as I traversed this precarious path. I felt that I had people on my side, giving me my voice back against this goliath. I highly recommend Jeff Rager as I could not be happier with the outcome – it has changed my life in many ways, and I can finally heal! Jeff and his team are one of the more knowledgeable firms out there, so do not waste your time looking any further – you can get your life back, I am living proof!

Wrongful Termination
I was terminated after working for the same acute care hospital for 40 years. After interviewing many attorneys I was lucky enough to find Jeff Rager. His law firm is top notch. They worked very hard and got amazing results for me. It was a tough battle but it was well worth it. I would recommend he and his associates without hesitation. His expertise is second to none.

I highly recommend Jeff Rager...
Jeff Rager consistently returned my calls quickly; did a great job guiding me through the litigation process and was well-prepared for trial due to his promptly submitting and following thru on discovery requests and taking depositions. And by doing so, he was able to negotiate a settlement even before going to trial that I was very happy with. If you need an employment law attorney, I would highly recommend Jeff Rager.

Best Lawyer ever!!
After being at a company for 18 years I had to have carpel tunnel surgery. Upon returning to work I found that the company would not let me return. They forced me to run out my FMLA then told me I no longer had a job. They would not acommidate any modified work restriction. I felt that I was treated unfairly and discremanated against do to medical conditions. When I was told I no longer had a job I was devastated. I knew I was treated unfairly so I called multiple lawyers. I decided to go Jeff Ragers law firm and let me tell you it was the best decision of my life. It was a very long process but well worth it. They kept me updated and well informed of the process all the way. His professionalism and knowledge can't be beat. We ended up settling for twice the amount I thought I would recieve. Jeff Rager Law Firm changed my life for the good!! I very highly recommended Jeff Rager!!!

Very confident and loyal attorney
I am physician , was started my first job in new corporate company, around Feb,2013. After few months passed, I start to feel too much pressure in working place environment , so I had plan to quit my job, prior to the contact term finish. But, I have noticed that, the contract was binding contract , I was threatened by many people inside and out the company.  Who had bad experiences, noticed bad events , who ever leaving early from them. Then , I did seek two attorneys but , all of the sudden, they put me in doomed position with few days notice. Now , myself and my wife believed only the god!!. Yes!, who was introduced by another attorney Mr.Pedroza, in Los Angeles ,the excellent legal knowledge, too honest ,too humble, much humanity apart from all excellent leadership, decisions making person. After I received the court sue notice /orders , he gave the corporate company ,many chances/ time to withdraw, with great respect , humanity. He gave  time realize the facts , even beyond, nicely explain them they are wasting times and money . Finally , they took 5 years to realize the facts , though the company and their attorney played unethical tactics , but truth stood strong. The person , I mentioned above as god , he is Mr.Jeff Rager. He is highly professional, good hearted man, and his all staff too includes attorney Mr. James , secretary Ms.Alana and others. Mr.Jeff is very kind full, not money minded , best attorney , I have ever seen in my carrier. He is not only helped me and my family , but he did help many doctors , nurses and paralegals staff , to get more benefits, more than 40 year old organization cultural and strategy changes, contract changes, apart from this all, he helped indirectly helped many patients to get good health care by his actions. Openly, I have not find appropriate best words to explain his personality and professionalism. The best of best . He is a client well wisher. Mr. Jeff always put , Client safety and wealth than his legal fight. I left all decisions to him, he took care everything. Honestly, I did not do much, but he did all with passion and hard work. Mr. Jeff knows throughly about the case , statements, documents , even our statements we forgot.Mr.Jeff, is Highley protective to client , he always will be side by side , in each deposition , even to our witnesses. Even some point we have to go for appeal against the re-appeal by the company , Mr. Jeff ,took every steps and helped me a lot, I could not find words to describe that situation and his timely humanitarian helps. If anybody got as attorney Mr.Jeff, for their case , I will say , the client is very lucky , even a jackpot. I will recommend him 100 % . Also, I appreciate the current in charge team in my previous company , who took wise decision and also doing lot changes in taking care staff and patients . All appreciation goes to Mr.Jeff Rager. We pray for him and his family to get all best wishes and continue to help many people like my family. Dr.Raja . MD USA, MD India, MBBS, MBA

Super Lawyer!
I was a professional employee for over 17 years at a very large medical corporation. I was wrongfully terminated and retaliated against after reporting a major situation at work. I was completely devastated and it affected my entire life. From the first day I met with Jeff, he was professional yet empathetic and understanding of what I was going through. He was always supportive, available to address my questions and concerns, and made the whole experience much easier. I was very satisfied with the outcome and would absolutely recommend Jeff to my closest friends and family. Thank you Rager Law Firm!

Beyond Professional
Jeff met me when I was at my worst and felt like my world caved in. He was so gracious, honest and professional that it smoothed the road in front of me. I was exhausted from my work environment and he helped me deal. He was honest, brutality so when I needed it. I so appreciate everything he did for me.

Wrongful Termination
In most cases, when seeking the wise insight or legal influence of an attorney ~ it's under strenuous circumstances. Thank goodness, I was referred to attorney Jeff Rager. It was a dark period, after having dealt with a high level of discrimination in the work place. Mr. Rager immediately made me feel safe, empowered and that justice would be served. Jeff is a man of integrity, follow through and compassion. You can trust him and his team to give their all ~ even when everyone has gone home and moved on with their day. Mr. Rager stays and makes it happen. I feel blessed to have found attorney Jeff Rager. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for the best person to represent their life changing events, deliver positive outcomes and have a trustworthy-powerful ally by your side in challenging circumstances. Thank you Jeff

Outstanding lawyer
I found myself facing disability discrimination and had to search for someone to represent me. From the moment I got off the phone with Jeff Rager I knew that he was the one I needed to represent me. His level of expertise was immediately evident, and he knew the laws that impacted my case inside and out. He was patient and generous with his time willing to answer my questions, over and over, if he needed to. He was direct and honest about everything even when it could be anxiety producing. His support was unwavering. Mr. Rager was always prepared and his negotiating skills were outstanding. He was strong and not to be pushed over. He knew what my case deserved and in spite of early offers to settle, he stood firmly for what he felt I deserved given everything that had been taken from me and my family. Ultimately the decisions he made and all his hard work on my behalf paid off. He succeeded and he won my case. It has taken me a long time to put this down on paper, because each time I sat down to write it, it never seemed to do him justice. I could not have done this without him. I highly recommend him and can never thank him enough for everything. If you need an outstanding lawyer, he is the one.

Satisfied Nurse
I was referred to the Rager Law firm and I can honestly say choosing Mr. Rager to represent me was life changing. No one ever thinks they will be in a position to need this kind of representation. I was a successful nurse for over 30 years proudly serving my own community when I was targeted because I was advocating for my patients. Mr. Rager fought tirelessly on my behalf and brought my case to a successful resolution. I would highly recommend him not only for his professionalism but also his compassion. The communication to me from him and his office staff was timely and I felt very involved in every step from beginning to settlement. Thank you Mr. Rager for your time and effort.

Wrongful termination
I was an employee of a MAJOR Hotel terminated after almost 20 years of service I didnt understand why,so I decided to comtact an Attorney after reviewing many attorneys over a 2 week period I came across Mr.Rager so I called.Right from the start I was made to feel like my case mattered during my consultation they gathered my information and I was told they would review it and get back to me . Upon reading a few of Mr Ragers reviews a few past clients went on to say if you are lucky he will take you case, so I sat back and waited hoping to hear from him because just talking over the phone I knew if he would represent me he was the one I wanted on my side, he was very up front honest and caring which made me comfortable. He told me he would take my case and it may be a long haul but he will be by my side through it all, he never ever made me feel my case didnt matter ,and by my side he stayed we went through depos and mediation he never let the Hotels attorneys get out of hand , he made 1 of the hardest times of my life a lot easier. He always kept me up to date and made sure I understood exactly what was going on, at no time did I have any dobuts in Mr Rager win or lose . He is a very honest and caring attorney and hands down a winner in my book. He had the confidence in me even when i was filled with dobut about myself. .He was readily available if I ever had a question no matter how big or small amazing and I am blessed that he is on my side. Thank you Mr.Rager for your hard work and your total dedication to me as a client I know you were the right choice by far..

Discrimination
Mr. Rager and his law firm were recommended to me as one of the highest ranked employment attorneys in the southern California region. After watching how he handled my case I was convinced he is one of the country's top employment law attorneys. I retained him in 2012 for what turned out to be a 3-year legal battle against a large government agency with what seemed to be endless funds and large staff of lawyers. Other attorneys had feared taking on this entity and advised me that the chances of success were slim to none. Mr. Rager sat with me for my initial 1 hour consultation and had a different view altogether and accepted my case. I found Mr. Rager to be a passionate, meticulous, extremely hardworking, and brilliant attorney. Over the course of the 3 years that it took to finally get my settlement, he guided me through the overwhelming experience of filing a lawsuit, giving and taking depositions, and, finally, settling the case. He never once feared taking the case to trial if he did not feel the amount of settlement was not sufficient. At the end, despite the incredible arrogance of the defendants and their legal team, we were victorious. Despite his success in holding employers accountable for their unethical and malicious behavior against their employees, I found Mr. Rager different from other lawyers, he truly cared and understood the pain I was going through both professionally and personally. He continued to give me great advice throughout the entire experience and I am forever grateful...GOD BLESS If Mr. Rager accepts your case, then you are one of the very lucky few, and should know that you have the best legal representation in the country.

Jeff Rager -- An Amazing Attorney
Jeff is, without question, the most passionate, hardworking, ethical and competent attorney I have ever met. We retained him to file a lawsuit against a $53 billion/ year company that went on to hire an army of lawyers from two national law firms to represent them. (This company has been sued multiple times before for similar unethical and retaliatory behavior, and they have repeatedly won most of those previous cases against them.) For 4 years, we fought this Goliath and their horde of unethical attorneys who repeatedly coached their witnesses to lie under oath. Although the defendant spent millions of dollars to try and keep our case from going to trial, thanks to Jeff's persistence, hard work and legal expertise, we finally went to trial in the summer of 2015-- just Jeff, his partner, and me against the defendant's legion of attorneys (at times, there were as many as 10 of their attorneys in the courtroom). Despite the great odds against us in fighting an unethical foe with unlimited funds and their "big name" attorneys, and despite all of their dirty tricks, we prevailed at our jury trial. Going up against this giant and powerful organization, and its horde of attorneys, was one of the most stressful experiences I have ever gone through. But through the entire 4-year battle, Jeff was there to encourage and support us. For months, as the trial date approached, and during the trial itself, he worked on our hugely complex case 7 days a week, often staying up until the wee hours of the morning to prepare for trial. His devotion, commitment, passion, and kindness carried us through some very challenging and scary moments during those 4 years, including the many times when we felt that we could no longer go on with our lawsuit against this Goliath. I really can't say enough positive things about Jeff. If he believes in the merits of your case and accepts you as his client, you can be assured that nobody will work harder, more passionately, or more competently on your behalf than Jeff. He is an exceptional attorney, a kind and caring human being, and, quite frankly, a giant-slayer. I will never forget his courage and self-confidence in going up against the army of aggressive lawyers hired by the defendant. His quiet, calm, and humble demeanor in court was such a contrast to the malicious, dishonest and manipulative behavior of the attorneys on the other side. He fought on our behalf for more than 4 years, and even when the odds seemed stacked against us, he continued to fight for us. (When the jury rendered its verdict in our favor, you could see the disbelief on the faces of the defendant's arrogant attorneys....) Jeff is a credit to a profession that is often not viewed very favorably. He is honest, ethical, extremely knowledgeable, and once he accepts a case, he will work himself to the point of exhaustion to seek justice on behalf of his clients. He will always remain a hero to me and my family, and we will forever be grateful to him.
