3 year delay, left me in the worse case scenario

The worse attorney ever, 3 months (reset), 3 months, another 3 months, 3 years down the line. After seeing my case being delayed, I tried to terminate her which she refused, so I filed a complaints with the Texas State Board, she finally withdrew from my case. I don't like to speak bad, ...but 3 years, now the judge is going to ask "what has the defendant done in 3 years since she violated the court order 7 times", thanks for delaying and destroying my child medication, it's ok for a female to violate a court order, but if the tables were turned around, what would the case look like if I violated the court order. Not my recommendation !!!

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.

She made my family fell complete after many years!

I hired Rose for a child custody modification and she was great! She was always on top of her game. She would answer my calls even in the late hours.and when I would walk down the court house halls and hear everyone calling hear to the side to get advise, I knew I had hired the right attorney! I... would recommend to anyone MS. Cardenas to represent you and your family! Thank you Rose for making our family complete!

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 confid...ence 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!

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!"
