Client Reviews

Just from speaking with James Yoon on our initial call, I knew there was no need to “Google” and research other law firms. James expertly guided us in the weeks that followed with utmost professionalism, patience, and most importantly, kindness and empathy. James was consistently calm and collected as he responded to our questions and concerns and explained various aspects of the case/process. Our voices were heard and validated compassionately. Likewise, Jeff Rager was assertive in the most compelling and effective way possible. He thoroughly understood and brilliantly argued the merits of the case, fiercely protected my family member’s best interests, and “went for the jugular,” resulting in a win with minimal effort on our part, except to show up armed with the facts and the truth about our situation. Jeff did not relent, and to say that we were pleased with and grateful for the outcome of his efforts is an understatement. That he was courteous and respectful to me and family made our experience that much more remarkable.

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!

I worked for an acute care hospital for forty years and was unlawfully terminated. The process of finding the best attorney was difficult and time consuming. After many interviews with many attorneys, I met Jeff Rager. I knew immediately that he was the best. Their law firm is top notch. Jeff is a straightforward, honest man and is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He put me at ease. It was a very tough battle but we won. His expertise was greatly appreciated and the outcome was outstanding. I would recommend he and his team without hesitation. Thank you all for always being there to support me.

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.

After being at a company for 18 years I had to have carpal 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 accommodate any modified work restriction. I felt that I was treated unfairly and discriminated 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 to Jeff Rager’s 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 receive. Jeff Rager & Yoon – Employment Lawyers changed my life for the good!! I very highly recommended Jeff Rager!!!

I was wrongfully terminated from my employer back in 2014, I was devastated and reached out to several attorneys all who wouldn’t take my case, until I found Jeff Rager who said he could help me. Jeff and his team fought for 5 years to help me get justice. I am so thankful they believed in me and my case and pushed me to fight on even when I was so stressed and ready to just give up. They worked many hours on my case and are very knowledgeable with the law and people’s rights. Jeff was great at trial, very professional, I would hire them again in a heartbeat. I highly recommend using them.

From the filing of the lawsuit through the trial and post-trial, Jeff was committed to championing my case. Being wrongfully terminated was an intensely emotional experience. Jeff was completely and sincerely supportive and always there to reassure me. Every action he took evidenced his commitment and reminded me that we were a team going through the process together. Jeff seemed genuinely glad to answer my endless questions, and he made me feel like a top priority throughout the lengthy process. With respect to his professionalism, legal skill and expertise, I can’t imagine any attorney doing a better job representing employees subjected to discrimination, harassment or retaliation. Jeff is a great negotiator and an outstanding trial attorney. In trial, he demonstrated he was 100% familiar with every detail of my experience, he worked day and night and he was able to identify the inconsistencies that ultimately impeached every opposing witness. In addition to his legal expertise, Jeff is also extremely intuitive, which was invaluable in jury selection and communication with the trial judge. There may be several attorneys who can mediate pre-trial settlements. But, when considering an attorney, it was important for me to have an attorney who was a good negotiator as well as a great trial attorney. Jeff is an excellent strategist and negotiator, and in my opinion a truly unsurpassed trial attorney. Further contributing to the positive experience, everyone in Jeff’s office was knowledgeable, professional and very responsive. Jeff won my case and now I have closure on a very dark chapter. I highly recommend Jeff Rager and I will be eternally grateful for everything he did for me.

He communicated regularly with me about what was going on with my case. He’s very trustworthy. He’s very knowledgeable and experienced in his field and for that reason we got the results we wanted!

He was patient and generous with his time willing to answer my questions over and over if he needed to, never making me feel inadequate. He was direct and honest about everything even when it could be anxiety producing. His support was unwavering. I could not have gone through this without him sitting next to guiding me and fighting for me. He understood how much had been taken from me. In terms of the opposing party, 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 from the opposing party to settle, he stood firmly for what he felt we 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 was never enough and did not seem to do him justice. But, it is important for others to know that lawyers like Mr. Rager do exist. I highly recommend this him and can never thank him enough for everything.

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. 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.

After feeling demoralized, violated and mistreated by my former employer, his team was able to restore my vocational life and give validation to the case. I am so very fortunate to have had his professional expertise and commitment. Jeff is an amazingly articulate lawyer, remaining down to earth, honest, realistic and dedicated to the client.”

Jeff and 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.

I was an employee for a major hospital for 33 years as a nurse with a clean record and was force to resign, for something that could have been worked out and rectified. Jeff along with another lawyer worked very hard for me. Rager & Yoon – Employment Lawyers is a very caring and understanding law firm. Mr. Rager was very thorough with all the evidence and did a terrific job to bring the other parties to justice. In the end, I had a favorable outcome. I would highly recommend Mr. Rager to anyone who needs a superb lawyer.

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 that 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!

Jeff and his staff worked relentlessly, keeping me informed and part of the process throughout the duration of my case. In the end, I had a favorable outcome. Since the resolution of my case, I have referred others to Mr. Rager as I thorougly trust him. You can too. He will do right by you.

The accusations were without merit and the investigation the company pursued lacked completeness. You can imagine my shock and devastation coming to work one day and leaving unemployed an hour later. Some of my co-workers were in disbelief and advised I seek legal advice. Something I would not have considered and knew nothing about. I had no idea how to go about even finding the right attorney for representation. It was then that I learned of Mr. Rager’s status as an honest, trustworthy attorney. After meeting with Mr. Rager, and discussing my case, we felt confident that he could help me. Jeff Rager is a man with high integrity who is professional, knowledgeable and incredibly personable. He is always responsive to his client’s needs. As his client, his replies to me either by phone or email were always quick, no matter how trivial the question. He is down to earth and always told me where I stood in the case as well as make recommendations on how to proceed. Mr. Rager stands passionate about his job and compassionate when helping those who are wronged in the employment industry. His approach in the courtroom is exemplary; always being cognizant of his appearance and presentation while maintaining respect for all court members, including the witnesses, and fellow attorneys. No matter which side they are on! As a professional myself and being unable to obtain employment for 16 months, I became depressed and doubting myself. Mr. Rager would not let this happen. He continually inspired trust and confidence in me to go on. He frequently reminded me during my low points, that I executed no wrong-doing to warrant my dismissal from my job. Mr. Rager had never faltered in his believability of me nor the case at hand. He even went above and beyond in trying to assist me in finding new employment. I highly recommend Mr. Rager. With his expertise in employment law, I could not have asked for a more caring and competent attorney.

I could not have asked for a better wrongful termination attorney! He was very professional, warm and very knowledgeable about all the elements in my case. He took personal interest in my case from day one through a successful settlement. He made me feel like I was the most important client he had. I would strongly recommend Rager & Yoon – Employment Lawyers. – Marcia Kelly
