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 treat...ed 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!!!

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.

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.

Jeff was Great!

Hiring a lawyer is never an easy decision; I felt so confused at that time and was unsure if anyone would believe my story of work place harassment/discrimination. Jeff made me feel comfortable that I was making the right decision. From the start he was honest about the case, I never once felt tha...t I was in the dark about my chances and was well informed of the risks. I know how hard he worked with the help of another lawyer who also fought hard for me. I was more than pleased with the settlement I received and was relieved I did not have to go to trial. They presented a case that the other side knew they would lose. There were far too much evidence and that was because of the work of Jeff and the other lawyer, together they were a fantastic team because they are fantastic on their own. I felt so lucky to have these two on my side! I hope to never again have to deal with a situation like that again, but if I did I would not hesitate to use them again!
