Amazing lawyer!!!

I am so glad I hired Rose as my attorney! She is a God send! Rose has given my guidance to navigate through a complex divorce case. She has provided tremendous assistance with solutions, strategies and representation. Rose is patient, kind and extremely intelligent and knowledgeable. Rose is simply ...the best attorney you can have to represent you! Thank you Rose Cardenas for all that you have done for me! Five star attorney!

Very Smart and fully bilingual

Rose Cardenas is very smart and experienced in family law. She also know a lot of other people like therapists that can help with your case. Plus she is a very nice and sympathetic person.

Legal Matter(s)

Not sure who wrote a 1 / 2 / or 3 star review for this attorney, but they must be bitter clients who didn't have things go their way and who probably don't have much good to say about anyone. Surprise...there's a legal system with processes and protocols. My experience with this attorney was excell...ent. Rose is a professional with a long well documented career. She understands the end goal for everyone involved.

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 wor...ks. 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! :-)

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: Worked together on matter

"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!"
