Does what’s right for children
R. Cardenas is fair and fights for what is in the best interest of children. It is apparent from the moment one meets her, up until the end of the case, that she genuinely cares about children and their overall wellbeing.

You won't be disappointed!!!
Ms. Rose was so awesome in handling my case! I was really worried and stressed out but she helped put my mind at ease by proving to me how dedicated and compassionate she was with my situation. Her strategy was so on point and I am so thankful to her and how she taught me the way the legal system works. She is so kind and genuine but has that viscous bite so she'll definitely fight til the end.

Dancing in the mist of a storm
Ms. Rose was a joy to work with and an absolute angel sent. Going through a rough divorce process and challenging child custody battle, Ms. Rose was informative, patient, and honest with me. Even though she had to do surprise visits to my home she never made me feel uneasy and her visits were as if a friend was coming over to chat. Going through the whole process was hard, not going to lie, but Ms. Rose's kindness and genuine love of her job made it a bit easier for me to began to find my rhythm again and dance in the mist of the storm! :-)

Wonderful Attorney
Ms. Cardenas, Surprised Me As Strong Nice And Loyal ! But What I Truly Learned By Her Actions Is That I Would Never Receive A Call Back , But As Learned Later She Did indeed Return My Call's it Was Just Late At Night . She Proved to Me How Dedicated and Compassionate she was in my case. everything ended well and very thankful to her and how she taught me the Legal System. Thank You Very Much. Ms. Cardenas

Saving Grace for a miss judged Father
Rose is a Godsend. My two boys Jaidon and Jace are nothing but my number ones in life. I have been a great father and always been there for my boys. Things got hard when life took a turn and my fiance (not my boys mom) and our family went separate ways then the Covid-19 hit and jobs weren't there, and also I was in a car accident witch made my life change forever. I am still hurting a year and 6 months later and income has gone down so much yet i was treated unfairly in court and the OAG and the Judge treated me like I was a dead beat dad. Well thanks to Rose this dad has info to help him in the next steps of being treated with equal rights.

Great Attorney!
Ms. Cardenas took all the stress and worry out of our annulment by treating us as important individuals and not just another case. She provided a relaxed environment and we were able to come to a quick conclusion without any fighting or disagreements. She went out of her way to accommodate our difficult schedules and to help any way she could. I can not be more thankful for her services.

Family Law, Divorce
Rose has been fantastic with how she handled my case. She is very knowledgeable of family law. Rose help me through the painstaking details of my case and she was excellent at answering my questions and returning my calls even on evenings and weekends. Rose Cardenas is very passionate about defending the rights of the father regarding divorce and child custody which is very important in the state of Texas. I would highly recommend Rose Cardenas for your needs with mediation and family law regarding child custody and divorce.

Hire Rose! She's an angel!
Rose is one of the best attorneys in Houston! I was very impressed how she was able to negotiate a settlement in my divorce case in which negotiations had taken months and months, in a matter of two hours. She was the friendliest and most sincere attorney I have ever met. Keep doing what you’re doing Rose, you are truly angel!

Procedures in Court she can't just drop what she doing... And as far as the Money your Damm right she ask for the Money dident you know Attorney get BURN too....This Women has been faithful to me Start to End she has been in my life through out in Court she's a pit bull not accepting any Bullshit the defense's is presenting....she True all the way..she will never give up !!!!

Rose is my angel
Rose was highly recommended to me. She is truly an amazing person herself and is a dedicated lawyer. she is good at what she does. And it never stops to amaze me how well she is known. she has a game plan on how realistically your case is going to be. she will see pass b.s and will fight for what is right. Just as amazing as she you have to understand how busy her job gets. Rose does answer your calls no matter the time of day. And will return your call . She handles your case as her main priority. Just like she was highly recommended to me I highly recommend her, If you are looking for a Family Attorney to represent your case.

Rose Cardenas
Rose is an amazing lawyer and person, she truly cares about what's right. She knows all the courts very well and respected by her peers. I highly recommend her. She didn't charge me an arm and a leg, gave me the best advise on my case. She really does a good job calming you down and giving you confidence because she is so confident in what she does, she has ben practicing family law for 30 years. I seriously doubt if there is a situation in which she has not seen before. If you want your case won by a lawyer everybody knows and respects in the courts then hire Rose!

Compassion at its best!
Rose is by far one of the most down to earth lawyers out there. From the start she was very compassionate and an amazing listener. She stood arm to am with me during one of the hardest times in my life. She's more than just a lawyer, but had a heart with dealing with my custody case. She keeps her promises and will get back to you the first chance that she gets. Definitely a person I'll remember throughout my life. If you are looking for someone who actually cares about your case and your feelings. Choose her.

Amazing & Compassionate
This woman is amazing, she is compassionate and cares about the people she is working with, she will answer at all times and any day during the week. Rose will answer my calls and my emails, she is the best, she is straight forward and to the point and will see past your BS if you try to lie to her. She is very detail oriented, extremely knowledgeable, she does not play when it comes to court and everyone knows her at the court house, she is well established with the judges. She was appointed on my case as an amicus and she is fair and hears you out. If I ever needed to hire an attorney again, I would definitely hire her. I know if she would have been my attorney from the beginning, I would have won my case a long time ago.

Great lawyer
She answers her own phone! She called me back after 5pm! She is a very caring and knowledgeable attorney. She knows everyone at the courthouse. She did a very good job. I recommend her to all my friends and family. Her office is on Kirby Drive behind Mike Calvert Toyota.

Takes My Calls in the Evening
Ms. Cardenas has been available to answer any and all questions I have, even after 9pm on weekdays, and on weekends, regarding an ongoing and complex child support case.
Posted by K. Walker | May 4, 2014
Rose is an astounding amicus lawyer and was very fortunate to have her working with my case.
Rose has been nothing short of wonderful. She is the amicus in my case and she knows what is she doing, point blank. She has been doing this a very long time and she is excellent at this. Very prompt and dependable. She is a very knowledgeable and smart woman. Willing to help you anyway she can and will answer any question you have. Anytime I have a question, I can call her, at any time I might add and she answers her phone and if not she returns her calls promptly. I called her at 930 pm on a Sunday night and she answered her phone and talked with me, for her to take time out of her weekend to talk and answer a problem I had was very significant and showed the type of character and person she is ,which I believe is great. She is very focus on trying to make sure that the best outcome is for the family. She truly loves what she is doing and it shows in her work and how she cares about the children's best interest. My children absolutely love her and so do I. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a compassionate and dedicated lawyer. She is that, hands down.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
"There is little I can say about Rose that will accurately describe how incredible this woman is!! First of all, she is an absolute joy to work with. I highly recommend her as a mediator. Often times parties will come in heated and determined to make an agreement impossible, but Rose always wins them over. She is so gifted in helping parties find a middle ground which leaves both sides feeling like they have won. Secondly, she is very hard working and compassionate. You can tell, when working with Rose, she truly cares about the well-being of each of her clients. Aside from all of the feel-good qualities of Rose, she is SMART and has the experience to get any job done right. I use her often and HIGHLY recommend her to others."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
"I enthusiastically endorse Rose Cardenas! Rose speaks fluent Spanish. If you need a Spanish speaking attorney, you need to contact Rose. After practicing law for almost 25 years, Rose has an outstanding reputation in the Houston family law community with attorneys as well as the judiciary. She takes a personal interest in her clients cases. Rose seems to know everyone at the courthouse. Because of her vast experience and knowledge, she is able to settle many of her cases. Her clients adore her and she has a large referral practice. She has been appointed by several Harris County family judges to represent the children in contested & complex custody cases. She also mediates. She does not have a legal staff - she answers her own phone. She is in the courtroom almost every day - so if you need someone to immediately talk to you every time you all -- don't hire Rose. She returns calls into the evening -- I've seen her do it when we were at Advanced Family Law Seminar together!"
