Rosa Cardenas

Founding partner

Rosa handles Chapter 7 cases and runs the firm. She meets most new clients herself.

Rosa grew up in Southwest Detroit and still lives a few blocks from the office. Before starting the firm, she spent years at a consumer law practice, where she saw how many people put off getting help because they couldn't find out what it cost.

So the firm puts its prices on the front page. She meets most new clients herself, and she'll tell you plainly when bankruptcy isn't the answer.

How Rosa works

I'd rather you hear the bad news from me at the first meeting than from a trustee later. Most of the time there isn't any.

I explain everything in the order you'll live it: what happens this week, next month and when the case closes. You'll get my direct number, and you can call it.

Meet Rosa

Your first meeting is free, at the office or by video.
