Back when I first got hurt, I was nervous and didn’t know where to look or how to even start. Vargas Chapman Woods made the process manageable from day one. Their entire team has been professional, organized, and responsive throughout. Chelsea Duplease stands out for her clear communication and timely follow-ups. She’s courteous, efficient, and keeps things moving without delay. The firm handles documentation and case updates with precision, and they’ve always respected timelines and kept me informed. If you’re looking for a legal team that’s supportive, communicative, and easy to work with, Vargas Chapman Woods is a strong choice. They know how to guide clients through complex situations with clarity and care.
VCW's goal is to support our clients and do everything we can to help them get through a difficult and unfamiliar time. We truly appreciate the recognition (and we love Chelsea too!)! :-)
Worst lawyer BAR NONE - “MEGAN WOODS” - do not use this lawyer ! We had a no brainer case, terrible accident in 2022 . Megan Woods IS the WORST. They don’t use telephones to communicate!! Imagine this !!! They only use emails as a source to communicate! Megan woods is a bully & caused me, Diane the client, to still live with ptsd from her !!! And the car accident that totaled my car my son (autistic ) was in the car my daughter was in the car As well! I did all her offices work she messed up the case and it was too late to get a new lawyer - no one would touch it- it’s now 2025 my daughter is a mess and so am I- please, as they say buyer beware, “do not use them!!!” Megan also fired my husband from helping us with the paper work ! Found out that was illegal, after the fact ! Our drs weren’t even the right drs to use? Megan put it all on the victims to do her job!! they destroyed our family forever!!! we had to move out of state! Horrendous, please DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - I don’t want anyone to go through the heartaches we are left with …ongoing and I even begged her to take a Less cut since we were left with practically nothing :( and the damages we still live with all because of her ignorance and bully ness it was horrendous! I had 3 broken ribs, 2nd degree hand burns plus more. All because a young girl smashed right into me after speeding through a stop sign the air bags in my car exploded and went on fire! my son and daughter live with PTSD, my daughter still can’t be in a car without jumping out of her skin!!!! I hope karma is real !!
Hello Ms. Palumbo,<br><br>We disagree with your statements and have previously addressed those concerns with you directly. As we explained before, our office uses email when appropriate to avoid any miscommunication and to ensure that everything is documented and available for our clients should they need to refer back to them. You were also free to share those messages and any information that you chose to with your husband, an attorney of your choosing, or anyone that you wished to be involved in your claim. We prefer to communicate with our clients directly to ensure that we are addressing the client's needs while maintaining attorney-client privilege, but the clients are always free to share information about their case with whomever they wish. <br><br>We also did offer to either refer you to another attorney or speak directly with an attorney of your own choosing since you had expressed displeasure with the firm. You declined those offers each time they were made, but if you would like to pursue this option now, we are still willing to assist and connect you with another attorney that you can discuss your concerns with. We are certain that would address anything that you raised above. <br><br>If you do not wish to take us up on that offer, we cannot address every detail of your review in a public forum but we again encourage you to review our prior communications where we responded to your concerns. Otherwise, we continue to wish you the best with your relocation, and please message us directly if you wish to take us up on our offer. <br><br>Vargas Chapman Woods, LLC
This individual is not a client of ours.
Wonderful law firm. The firm was professional, responsive, and truly cared about my case. Attorney Woods was incredibly knowledgeable and kept me informed throughout. Thanks to their hard work, the outcome was better than I expected. Highly recommend!
We are happy that you were pleased with the firm, and thank you for the great review!

This has to be the WORST law firm in axistance. Megan Woods and her staff were so disconnected, that they droped the ball on our serious injury case. We never met her in person. She did not like to communicate via phone. When somthing we did not understand came up, we had to try and process her emails. She would even get verbally hostile and frustrated at us, and we are her clients. She made us feel like the ones who caused the accident. Her staff and attorney Woods never followed up with all the doctors so there were mis representation along with elevated billing. We were never able to get intouch with her or her staff. We would leave voice mail messages never to get a call back. Then we said we left messages they lied and denied getting any of them. No guidance, no empathy, Ineffective communication. They droped the ball so badly, that this accident case should have compensated us hundreds of thousands of dollars for our pain and suffering. Instead, after all the medical bills were paid and they took thier cut, we barely got any money from all of this. We are lucky we did not have to pay out of our pockets. So now our family is pysically damaged and have fears of driving from PTSD. The case is closed and now our lives will never be the same. Please listen to me, if you are searching for an injury lawyer and you come across CHAPMAN, VARGAS and WOODS run for the hills, cause they will DAMAGE YOU JUST AS MUCH AS THE PERSON THAT WAS IN FAULT OF THE ACCIDENT !!!!!
This individual was not a client of ours.
Horrible law firm, unprofessional , rude and dishonest
Please contact us to discuss your review and/or permission to respond. Due to ethics rules concerning client confidentiality we are unable to respond publicly without permission from our client.
Update: Have received an email from Megan Woods telling me I'm lying and should take down this review because she doesn't want anyone to know how unprofessional she was. Original: Refused to take my worker's comp case because I wasn't injured enough to make a negligence case worth it in Meghan Woods' eyes. Stay away from these guys.
Updated response: With your permission, we would like to post our messages to you, with names redacted, so that those reading your comments can make an assessment for themselves. <br><br>This individual was not a client of the firm, and while we are sorry that you felt it necessary to leave this review, we disagree with your statement and have the conversation in writing. We did not tell you that you were not injured enough to make a claim. The firm offered to take your case, but you did not respond to Attorney Woods' email and instead left this review. We wish you the best of luck.
A good lawyer and an excellent human being, fighting for our rights as employees.
