Do not hire

I would do 0 stars. Hired Rafael 2 years ago for a divorce and certain rights along with child rights. After the first court he said I was done. I did not receive any updates nor feedbacks via email or phone. I had to drive myself to the court house to find out I was NOT divorce. As of today I have e...mails requesting answers and Rafael is no where to answer my questions after being paid for his services.

Very thorough and knowledgeable attorney

I hired Rafael to set a custody and visitation plan for my son. He was honest, and explained the ins and outs of my case, as well as communicate with me throughout the case until the end. I'm glad that I choose him to help me with my case. I would definitely recommend him to anyone I know.

Bad service

We hired Mr. Vargas for some legal assitance for a child custody case. Not only did we lose the case but were blindsided by a judgement to pay child support which we had no idea was in even at play. Terrible service, no communication. It was my understanding that a lawyer job is to defend and guide ...you like if it was them on the front lines. That is exactly what did not happen here. Mr. Vargas needs a new career as being a lawyer in its truest meaning is not what Mr. Vargas does. The rating on this site pretty much says it all the 5 stars are more then likely a cover up for his poor service. Stay away unless you want to lose your shirt. Signed very disatified customer.

He saved my life

I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for attorney Vargas. After spending thousands of dollars, and I mean THOUSANDS with an attorney that presumably represented father's rights and did nothing for me but take my money, Mr. Vargas took my case, explained my options and within three months ...had a custody agreement done for me. The rest of my divorce did not take too long because he is very matter of fact and tells it to you as it is. He gave me a quote when I initially met with him, and even though he had to go to court more than what he initially quoted, he did not charge me extra. I would recommend his services to anyone, specially if you are on a budget.

Family Law

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
