Rafael A. Vargas

Please refrain from hiring Rafael Vargas. Before I comment, I just want everyone to know that I am not ignorant to the system. He is very unprofessional and does not know how to talk to his clients. He does not like to be questioned and will even argue with his clients. He rarely answered his phone a...nd at times would go MIA. One time, he didn't return my call until 10 min before court and I was already prepared to inform the judge I didn't know where he was. I found out he was actually out of the country. He talked to me like I was some idiot woman who doesn't know anything. He did absolutely nothing for my case but made alot of promises. There were times where he was not prepared for court and had to ask for continuances, which hurt my case because there were deadlines to be made. When he asked for money, I sent it to him. Money was not the issue. Just a terrible attorney all together. Lastly, if you are a victim of domestic violence, please do not hire him! He is not trauma informed and he has an abusive personality as well. I have worked in the domestic violence field for almost 15 years and I would never ever refer any of my clients to this man and I ask that anyone else that works in the DV field do not send their clients his way.

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 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.
