Diego J Vargas

My first DUI was scary, but Diego Vargas did a great job easing my fears and walking me through the process. Quick to respond to my questions and concerns. My DUI was reduced to a Reckless Driving, and was ultimately Dismissed after a two year probation. Can't recommend Diego and his office enough.

I hired Diego 10 years ago to represent me for a DUI case. He was recommended to me by a good friend who is also a lawyer. At the time he was the partner in a firm who had great success with getting the job done. The firm was known for helping clients to win cases with the inaccuracy of the breathalizer as well as other strategies or important loopholes that would help a defendant win in court cases. Diego was extremely professional and well liked in the courtroom by the judge and the "other side" as well, which also helps the client whether they are aware of it or not. Overall I had a great result and was not charged with DUI.

Diego had always been courteous, respectful and most of all, responds promptly especially during times when I have specific questions when I was feeling scared and confused about my case, sometimes even after hours. He is knowledgeable and always finds answers to countless questions through the length of my case and beyond. I cannot emphasize how he respects his clients.

Mr. Vargas represented me in 2009 and I felt he was extremely professional and was able to negotiate the best possible outcome for me.

I found Diego's deep experience and knowledge of the local court system, and the players within it, worked to my advantage. He seems to be well respected in the courthouse. I also found him to be a great communicator, he responded quickly to my questions and is let me know what is going on at all times. He is a great person to have on your side if you are in a bad situation.

Diego knows so much the judges ask him what paperwork needs to be filed. My case was a loser - but he managed to get me the very best possible outcome.

I married an immigrant and brought her and family here to US, after about a year I noticed that my wife was only really interested in money and immigration. After over a year had passed, I wanted to separate as seemed our relationship could not be fixed. As a backup plan my wife planned and falsely accused me of Domestic Violence in order to obtain a special immigration Visa and to take control of my home. The typical false accusations you read about happening to others, but happened to me. I knew I wanted to best trial lawyer I could find and did some research; and found Mr. Vargas. I spoke to Mr. Vargas and he understood the situation immediately and knew exactly what I wanted to do and how to approach the case without me telling him. A real pleasure and relief as I needed assistance in communicating my story; and the trial would be the only place where I could have that opportunity. Mr. Vargas approached the case at the speedy manner I wanted to so I could take this to trial and recover my home. Additionally, Mr. Vargas would always return my phone calls immediately and respond to emails no matter where he was at the time. An extremely strong work ethic which I agree with this philosophy to get things done. After refusing the dismissal deal at Mr. Vargas recommendation and my agreement we took case to trial, the jury quickly delivered a Not Guilty. Now I am able to put my life back together. Thank you Diego, for your hard work and dedication!

I am still emotional after winning my case in court this afternoon but I want to recognize Mr. Vargas. I was unjustly charged with a crime about 15 months ago and wanted to hire a top attorney. I researched, I asked and I spoke to a few attorneys. Mr. Vargas was recommended by a friend. After speaking with him in his office, he seemed like a good ethical man and his contract was straightforward and clear. His fee was fair and included if the case goes to trial, I retained Mr. Vargas on the spot. Like I think everyone else I did not know if I can trust an attorney. Mr. Vargas has not spoken about money ever since then. I have been going to court and communicating with Mr. Vargas for 14 months. No matter if I called him, texted or sent him emails he replied almost immediately and answered all my questions. A few months ago I Mr. Diego presented me with plea deal offer from the prosecutor, which probably most people would have taken. But it meant that I would have to plea guilty to something. I asked Diego one question, which is "if you think I did something wrong by doing this..." then I will pleas. Diego sent me a very quick response saying I believe you are innocent also. My case went to trial yesterday. Mr. Vargas is a great trial attorney, he is intelligent, and he fought for me in a very respectful manner. It was a difficult time for me sitting in court but his competence and professionalism with the Judge and the prosecutor made me feel that there was still good people and respect in this world. earlier this afternoon, the Jury went in to deliberate, the plan was that after 15 minutes they were going to ask them if they wanted to break for lunch or continue to deliberate. Mr. Vargas, my wife and I went into a private room in the court. After about 5 or 6 minutes there was a knock on the door. The prosecutor said "they are ready". We walked into the court room and they announced a verdict of "Not guilty". I'm a 58 year old man but I cried. Mr. Vargas always believed in my innocence and his closing statement was so clear and straight and truthful, he explained the law and how the facts and testimony from my side and from the prosecution star witness side pointed to not guilty. It is refreshing to know that there are ethical lawyers that are rated as Top lawyers. Thank-you Diego again for everything!

Diego has represented me in 2 DUI cases. He was always extremely knowledgeable, gave great advice, and was very reassuring in a stressful time. Both cases were resolved in a way that were best case scenarios for the circumstances, and he always did everything within the law to protect my rights. He also will continue to promptly answer questions after the resolution of the case, and will continue to represent you through the entire process even through any probation periods that may be associated.

Kind and Caring is what comes to me.The mother of my children had come done with leukemia I was running the kids to Seattle every night and day for her.Then one night though it all I got into a bit of trouble.I was put in touch with Mr.Vargas by a friend and from the first meeting till it was tucked behind me Mr.Vargas handled everything for me.He took care of the small stuff and the large stuff kept telling me not to worry just handle your family.And that is what he did.So kind and caring just about held my hand the whole way.I can not say enough about this gentleman.I just hope a big Thank You is good and I believe in my heart he treats all people the same so Thank You.

Diego is a very experienced lawyer, he listened to me and did everything in his power correctly and got my charges reduced. He was right in it with me until the end. Advised me on what I needed to do way in advance and was very knowledgeable from the get go. He was the only lawyer I consulted with that actual ave me hope. That’s why I hired him. Highly recommend.

Diego went above and beyond what was asked of him. He took extra time to educate and walk me through the process, and more than anything was EMPATHETIC toward my situation. He truly made me feel like there was indeed a 2nd chance, as I was extremely down on myself as a recent college graduate who thought my career-to-be would be was already ruined. He eventually settled my case to the "goal" we were hoping for, and I would absolutely recommend Diego to any one else in a similar situation. He also has a open door policy, which allows you to reach out to him with ANY questions at any time, even years after the case, which has been very helpful to me personally. He mentioned that he keeps all of his old clients case info incase we need to revisit at any point in time, which is reassuring. Go Diego go!

Diego is so competent, objective, and precise that it takes no time to trust him and his guidance. His attention to detail each step of the way, and the way he was able to handle my litigation were outstanding and I would recommend him highly for anyone in need of a true expert, fair, and experienced attorney.

Excellent performance and support for my goals as an overall not just only for DUI. I do consider him as a good friend of the family.

Diego was there every step of the way. He constantly made me feel that I had the best representation possible.
