No recommended at all !

Very rude and unprofessional. I have contacted him told him I need to get everything done asap. he said to submit a payment immediately and he will send the documents by next day, he pushed me to send the payment, and once I submitted - he just gone never sent anything until the point I texted hi...m why he collected the money and not sending any documents , by next day like he said he will. he ended up sending me my money back and now I had to look for new attorney and start all over, and he just killed my tome. . I wouldn't recommend.

My devorse case

After Having a bad experience with a prior divorce lawyer, a friend at work recommended Francisco j Vargas, after having good results from the way he was handling her divorce case. I took her advise went to see him he took my case after explaining the experience I had with the prior lawyer. he expl...ained what needed to be done to reinstate the case and how much it would cost, he was honest, straight forward and explained exactly what to expect. I believe that Francisco was able to accomplish all that he said was going to be done, he accomplished a satisfactory outcome to my case, it took while and also some extra expenses expected to a divorce, but at the end the goal was achieved. I am very satisfied with the case and his professionalism, I was always posted on what was happening never felt misinformed or lost, he made me feel comfortable through the proses, I trusted him and I highly recommend Francisco to anyone needing a divorce lawyer. sincerely: W de los Rios jr
