Thomas Vargas
Associate Attorney
State(s) Licensed: Texas; U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas; Registered Patent Attorney, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office
Thomas is an Associate Attorney with Baker Law Group, PLLC, where he helps businesses, property owners, and individuals resolve disputes over contracts, commercial relationships, and property rights. His practice covers business law, real estate, intellectual property, and general civil litigation. Thomas is also a registered patent attorney with a biology degree, so he is comfortable with cases that turn on technical or scientific detail. Before joining Baker Law Group, he managed a diverse civil caseload, taking matters through discovery, depositions, motion practice, and trial preparation.
Thomas’s Philosophy: Litigation Is a Business Problem
Thomas believes every lawsuit is more than a legal question. It costs his clients time, money, and attention they would rather spend running their business or enjoying their property. He sees his job as solving that problem as efficiently as the facts and the law allow.
That starts with an honest look at each case. Thomas identifies its strengths and weaknesses early, explains them in plain English, and builds a strategy around what the client actually wants to achieve. Sometimes that means a focused motion that ends the dispute early. Sometimes it means preparing for trial. Either way, his clients know where they stand and why.

Thomas’s Approach to the Legal Process
A business or property dispute can put a lot at stake. Here is how Thomas works with his clients.
Understanding the Path Forward
Thomas starts by learning each client's goals, then walks them through the strengths, risks, and likely costs of every option so they can decide with the full picture.
Collaborative & Direct
Thomas gives clients plain-English updates and realistic expectations at every stage, without legal jargon. If something changes, they hear about it promptly.
Proactive Action
Thomas looks for ways to narrow or resolve a dispute early, from targeted motions to negotiated outcomes, while preparing every case as if it is headed to trial.
Case Results
The fastest way to protect a client is often to end a claim before trial. Thomas has done that through summary judgment in both construction and real estate disputes.
Construction Defect Dispute
Summary judgment for a subcontractor, defeating the general contractor's contractual defense and indemnity claims.
HOA Dispute
Summary judgment for a homeowners' association against malicious prosecution and breach of contract claims.
Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
