Carmen Rosas is an incredible professional attorney. I was blessed and fortunate to have found her to prepare our family Living Trust, not only is she an experienced, effective legal expert but a caring warm person, sensitive to her clients needs.
I felt as if I was talking to a friend. Carmen walked me through the process, and more than met all my expectations.
I also interacted with her office staff and was impressed by their courtesy and quick response.
Being bilingual and bicultural her services are valuable and important to our community. I am referring her to family and friends. May God continue blessing Carmen, her staff and family.

Carmen makes the "impossible" happen! A few years back, I needed to legally take over a family responsibility from my mom to give her peace of mind. I Googled and hunted for a lawyer who could help me with this request. Finally, I found Carmen, who was able to bring a speedy resolution to our family estate. Carmen is knowledgeable, easy to work with, asks the right questions, then she makes magic happen! Thank you Carmen for resolving our case and giving my mom the best gift of all, peace of mind! I continue to refer my family and friends to Carmen. She is the best at what she does!

Elaine Fonseca, REALTOR

I'm a bay area real estate broker/agent. I've referred Carmen to a few of my clients. All of which would tell me she would never return their calls or they could never connect with her. Should have learned then but instead I decided I should give her a try myself for my estate planning documents especially since we had done some events together. Never did I think my estate planning documents would take over a year to complete.

I signed our engagement letter 6/3/22, the first payment link was sent to me on 6/4/22 (quick turnaround). I had an in-person meeting with her on 7/28/22 after rescheduling on my end a few times due to personal reasons. Soon after I provided all of my documents to her and we scheduled a follow up meeting for 9/22/22.

I didn’t hear anything back from her until 11/14/22, with another payment link for another service she provided. At that moment I inquired about finalizing my trust documents, her office told me they were going to mail them to me the following week. One month goes by and I inquire again on 12/6/22. She claims she is onboarding new team members and has been understaffed. On 12/20/22 I ask her if she was able to find an attorney out of state to put my properties in the trust. She claimed she did and that she would have the deeds ready the following week. January came and went and zero communication from her or her office. I inquired again on 2/3/23 - following up on the mobile notary to sign & finalize trust documents. Another person in her office responds back and I finally get a mobile notary scheduled for 2/9/23. I assumed this was it and I was just waiting around for my executed county stamped documents to get mailed back to me. Well June comes around and I still haven’t received anything back. I inquire again on 6/6/23. She says she is checking with her assistant. No communication again until I inquire again on 6/27/23. One property was finally taken care of and confirmed received by the county on 7/11/23. The other property was finally taken care of in late Sept 2023.

My frustration is the lack of customer service/communication. I understand small businesses tend to get understaffed or are going through business changes but if my services are paid for and I have to constantly be contacting you for an update and most of the time you don’t respond, then there is something wrong! This tells me this business doesn’t value its clients. Posting this review now in case this will help others determine whether to use her services or not. I also know other small businesses that have used her & have had a similar or worser experience so that tells me I’m not the only one.

Carmen and her team are magnificent. They were a pleasure to work with and get to know. I went to them for estate planning and preparation. She's incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. If you're intimidated by estate planning or any legal service, don't be. She's involved every step of the way. You won't regret getting your affairs in order, finally! I highly recommend Carmen and will be a continued client of hers.

Carmen is an excellent estate attorney and has help my family and I set up our trust. She walked us through all the different options and helped us ask the right questions when creating our living trust.
As a business owner and independent mother I wanted to make sure if anything happen to me or worse I became unable to make decisions for myself, the burden would not be in my children. It was really great working with Carmen and her team, true professionals.
