I cannot recommend Princess Rodarte highly enough. From our very first meeting, I felt heard, respected, and genuinely supported. Family law situations are emotional and stressful, but she handled everything with professionalism, compassion, and a calm confidence.

I was looking for a family attorney as most people do when they start planning for divorce, at a not great mental state and looking for someone I could trust. … I got lawyer Princess Rodarte assigned to my case. I couldn’t be happier with the way she handled everything. She is very knowledgeable on all the processes, she’s the most patient person, who didn’t care if she had to explain things to me for the 10th time, she would gladly do it. She was with me every step of the way and she and her team were always available if I needed anything. My case is closed now and I can confidently say I cannot recommend her enough.

Princess was by far the most amazing lawyer to handle my case. … Princess being so patient and kind but also an absolute advocate in court and mediation, I can not thank them enough for the support, kindness, personalization and professionalism towards my high conflict case. I felt not only well represented but also truly supported throughout the entire process.

I cannot thank Princess enough for her swift, skilled, and compassionate assistance during one of the most frightening and stressful times in my life. When an urgent situation arose involving the safety and well-being of my son, she responded immediately—with a level of readiness and determination that was both reassuring and deeply appreciated. … Her diligence, fierce advocacy, and strategic thinking were instrumental in protecting my son and bringing me peace of mind. She treated me and my son with genuine care and respect, never once making us feel like just another case.

I am so grateful that I found this firm. Especially working with Princess. She had my best interest at heart. She was always prepared for anything that came our way. Let’s just say she was one step ahead of the situation after I explained everything to her. It was a pleasure having her on my side and would definitely recommend her and her team.

I would highly recommend Lianna Garza Smith, Princess Rodarte, and this firm to anyone going through a divorce or custody matter — especially a difficult, high-conflict one. … When Lianna and Princess stepped in, it was at a very critical moment in the case and under challenging circumstances. From day one, they jumped in fully, became deeply knowledgeable, and were completely engaged — not just in the legal strategy, but in advocating for me and my child. … Going into final trial, I knew I had the right team beside me — and I was right.
