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 lega...l 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.

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.

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 multi...ple 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.

Jeff Rager - Epic Hero Lawyer

I had been laid off for reasons i suspected were discriminatory, and after speaking with Jeff, realized how clear cut and awful the whole thing was. Jeff and his staff were thorough in their discovery, and found a trail of double talk and attempts to keep the all the mistakes under the rug. Jeff a...nd his staff were considerate, determined, professional, and personable. They had mountains of paperwork thrown at them, and still managed to pull from that the picture that proved our case right. Jeff fought hard to bring the other party to justice. Although we did not go to trial, and we really wanted to get our case to court, Jeff also knew when it was time to compromise. Our situation at that time was tricky, and Jeff's wisdom and guidance got us to a settlement that was more than satisfactory. If there were such a thing as a Super Hero in the court-world of litigation, it would be Jeff. He is everything you want in a lawyer, an ally, or someone you can trust 100 percent. Jeff is my first, best recommendation.
