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!

ROSE IS A BEAST WHEN IF COMES DOWN TO HANDLING YOUR FAMILY MATTERS !!!

Rose Cardenas is hands down the very best lawyer I've ever worked with. She is compassionate and very careful in dealing with family matters. You never feel rushed or ignored while she works on your case. She implements excellent strategies that provide very favorable results!! (She saved me a consid...erable amount of money!!!) I recommend Rose Cardenas without the slightest hesitation! She is prompt, courteous and remains true to her word!

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 ON YOUR SIDE!!

Rose answers her phone and does return calls. She also keeps you updated through email and responds to ALL emails you send her. She is continually working hard in my child support case and keeps me in the loop if anything comes up. She LISTENS and considers all the facts in your case. She is great a...nd is there to fight on your side and guide you through the legal process. She works with you as well and is available on the weekends if need be. The court in which we had our case in all knew her. She makes her presence when she is in the courtroom. It is hard to believe the comment about how she only would meet you when you paid her because I had the opposite happen, she was answering all my emails, calling me and I was the one that kept missing her phone calls. I know on several occasions Rose has called me after normal business hours and has made it a priority to involve me on any pertinent information. If you want someone that is going to FIGHT for what is right then I would DEFINETELY have Rose on your corner. She is knowledgeable, understanding and trustworthy and will navigate you through an already stressful situation.

No communication with me

I HIRED ROSE CARDENAS TO WORK ON A FAMILY MATTER AND THE ONLY TIME SHE MET WITH ME WAS WHEN I PAID HER. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS HANDLED VIA EMAIL SINCE I COULD NEVER REACH HER ON HER CELL PHONE. MANY TIMES I COULDNT EVEN LEAVE A VOICEMAIL BECAUSE IT WAS FULL. I HIRED HER BECAUSE SHE WAS FRIENDS WITH A FA...MILY MEMBER OF MINE. BIGGEST MISTAKE I EVER DID WAS HIRING THIS WOMAN. I'VE NEVER BEEN INCLINED TO WRITE EITHER NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE REVIEW ON ANYONE BUT I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO FIND THE CORRECT LAWYER FOR SUCH IMPORTANT MATTERS AS A DIVORCE AND CHILD CUSTODY. SO IF YOU WANT A CARING LAWYER WHO WILL KEEP YOU UP TO DATE AND INFORMED ON YOUR CASE, ROSE IS NOT IT. HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE TRYING TO FIND AN ATTORNEY. CHOOSE WISELY. I DID NOT.

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!"
