About Rosa
Biography
I am a criminal defense lawyer that has specialized in criminal defense since I graduated law school, over 22 years. I have practiced criminal defense both in Houston, Texas and in the Chicago area, where my main focus is federal law.
I attended the Gerry Spence Trial Lawyers College in 2000 and have been returning as faculty since 2004. I am Board Certified by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization in the area of Criminal Law and Criminal Apellate law.
I have always have had a passion for defending people accused by the government and believe that a strong defense is a personalized defense based upon the needs of the individual representing. I strive to combine my knowledge of the law and my understanding of my client to formulate a defense strategy that best serves each individual I represent.
In addition to the law, I enjoy running marathons, cycling, triathalons and completed tough mudder event in Austin Texas. I have recently started playing the piano again after 20 years.

Review from Jose Hernandez
I'm very supportive of Ms. Rosa A. Eliades as an attorney retained. As a former client, in which she represented me in a capital murder case in 2007. My experience with her is unforgetable, she definitely looks to pour herself out and go the distance for her clients. I highly recommend her for anyone...

"I have watched Rosa Eliades in trial on several occasions and she is spectacular. Jurors love her and judges respect her. Several years ago, I had to step aside on a case due to a conflict of interest. I called Ms. Eliades, because I knew she was the one trial lawyer to call when chips were down and the client really needed a fighter. I was not disappointed and I would make that call again in a heartbeat!"

Just earlier today, I was talking to a Assistant United States Attorney who commented that Rosa did an excellent job in front of a very difficult federal judge in a previous case.

Likewise, she will contact me if she thinks one of her cases may involve issues of family law. She is constantly looking out for the best interests of her client and insuring that any advice she gives does not unintentionally adversely effect other areas of their life. I would not hesitate to send any of my clients who may need the services of a criminal attorney to Ms. Eliades."
"There is no one who will work harder for a client than Rosa Eliades. She has a superb ability to combine her razor-sharp legal mind with a deep compassion and understanding for the accused in a criminal trial. She is the person other criminal defense lawyers would call if they were in trouble. She can do it all, trial and appeal, federal and state."
