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 en...ded well and very thankful to her and how she taught me the Legal System. Thank You Very Much. Ms. Cardenas

Let me began by saying to all the bad and negative review's , you choose to be a spiteful and miserable individual, Ms Cardenas never claimed tp be God she's a Attorney who know's and follows the Law. Yes the statement about not returning calls is true to a degree ! She does return when she has done ...here assignment for that day. Its clear idiots like ya,ll don't know. 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 !!!! Her strategy is always on point... Im proud to say she's been my Attorney and Good Friend. A word from the wise be Patient and allow always the Attorney to do there job....

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.

terrible custody lawyer

Rose is about the worst lawyer ive seen. She took on our case but never told us anything that was going on. I would call her with no response. She never talked with me about getting any evidence from me the entire time. She just talks over you so you never get your point across. Then she dismisses th...e case Really I couldnt believe she did that without asking us. Now I dont know what to do. This has been over two years of basically nothing happening . In the end you feel like she worked for the other side , and I will be reporting her to the board. Please if your looking for a lawyer look elsewhere.

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!"
