Excellent and Professional Legal Team
Mr. Vaage and Team were extremely professional and caring while representing me in a medical malpractice case. Elizabeth was my main point of contact at the office through the entire litigation.

Unethical and unacceptable methods of practicing
I had consulted Vaage’s office for legal advice. Upon speaking to his associate Elizabeth, I didn’t understand much of what she was suggesting, however, her suggestions and maneuvering methods where out of question completely unethical. I wanted to sue my employer but I didn’t want to tarnish their ...
Dear Anonymous: I am sorry you were not satisfied with the consultation with our office. You indicated that you didn’t understand much of what my associate was suggesting. I wanted to clarify that whenever you sue your employer for issues associated with discrimination, the law requires that you first file a formal administrative complaint with either the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) or the California DFEH (Department of Fair Employment & Housing). The complaint cannot be made with an anonymous phone call. In order to file a lawsuit, you must first obtain a “Right-to-Sue” notice from one of these entities. During the complaint process, you can either request the “Right-to-Sue” notice right away, or you can allow the governmental entities to investigate your complaint for you. Here are links for an explanation of the complaint process for both the DFEH and the EEOC: DFEH: https://www.dfeh.ca.gov/complaint-process/file-a-complaint/ EEOC: https://www.eeoc.gov/employees/charge.cfm You also indicated that you wanted to sue your employer but didn’t want to “tarnish their years of work and character.” I must tell you that it would be very difficult to sue your employer for unlawful employment discrimination without some negative impact on the company’s reputation. I hope I have cleared up some of your confusion. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to call. Sincerely, Robert F. Vaage

"Robert is one of the most respected trial attorneys in San Diego and California. He is primarily known for his work with medical malpractice claims but he is equally skilled with personal injury cases such as car accidents and slip and fall injuries. Clients cannot go wrong with Robert."
