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.

Rose is a Great Legal Advocate!

Rose has been and continues to be my advocate and proponent in an ongoing child support case in Houston, TX. Rose promptly and patiently answers all of my questions, either in person, via email, text, or phone. She comes prepared to court, and loves the courtroom. She has also helped me wit...h a motion to modify child support

Duped!

Rose comes across as very compassionate & strong. She gains your trust. In the beginning she seemed very responsive & showed great diligence in my case. Then came the red flags! She answered none of my emails which made me suspicious (not wanting anything in writing?) I caught her in several lies! La...st I talked with her...she said, let me call you back....that's been about a year ago. I got nothing for my money!

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."

"Rose has served as amicus, attorney ad litem or mediator on several of my cases. She has been easy to work with and has worked well with my clients and the other lawyers and parties. She is tough when necessary, but effective at resolving issues and arriving at fair settlements. I heartily endorse this lawyer."

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!"
