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

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.

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.

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 co...nsultation 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.
