Rafael A. Vargas

I gave him a $5000 retainer July of 2018 for a family matter case. He promised the world. Never delivered. Never proved anything he claimed he did. I ended up settling outside of court and without his help and he refuses to return my paperwork and balance of retainer. He keeps ignoring my calls/email...s/texts. DO NOT USE HIM

I consulted with Rafael because my son's father would not agree to renew my son's passport so that's i could go visit my family overseas (which I used to do every year). Rafael listened to my story, asked what my goals were and talked about putting a plan into action. He was great! He would call... me before the court day and discuss what he was going to say and what was "kind of" expected from that specific day. He would ask me if I agreed with it, etc. I got what I wanted and more! I will probably need a lawyer in two years, when I move out of state, and I will definitely hire him again to help me out

I have been involved in a 13 year long post decree custody battle and have hired several attorneys during this time, I would not recommend Rafael vargas. He did not file a single motion on my behalf. He tried to enter an 'agreed motion' without my consent. He told me that we had won a TRO to which... we did not. Over a 7 month period of employ, he showed up for 4 status dates and got continuances. I told him from day one that there would be no agreement and to try all matters in front of the Judge to which he ignored my request. He ignored my requests, my phone calls and my emails. I would Not recommend this attny.
