Listeners, we're back this week with Carmen Rosas.
Hoop-wearing, award-winning and stereotype-defying attorney Carmen Rosas is on a mission to help women chase and secure the bag. Drawing on more than 10 years of experience in estate planning, Rosas equips women to protect themselves and their families by protecting their assets. And she’s doing it all in style.
A proud mix of Mexican, French, and Italian, Carmen grew up in the Bay Area, fascinated by her grandmother's stories of living in Mexico, arriving in America, and settling in California. Her curiosity of other cultures and the development of languages and communal systems led her to study Anthropology at Santa Clara University. During her sophomore year, she even interned at the Public Defender’s Office-Juvenile Division in Washington D.C.
Carmen’s comparison studies of the U.S. legal system and tribal systems in New Zealand, as well as her interest in policy change, led her to law school. Following this inspiration, she grew her legal skills and worked with three prominent Bay Area law firms while also volunteering with the Pro Bono Project of Silicon Valley.
Today she is the founder and lead counsel of Carmen Rosas Law where she empowers women to take back control of their money, desires and life. Carmen’s unique approach to estate planning blends personalized, intuitive coaching with trusted legal advice to finally give women, especially Latina women, the chance to be seen and heard by an attorney who looks like them and gets it.
Carmen has been featured inThe Huffington Post, Forbes, Be Latina, Create and Cultivate, The Balance, and Modern Latina where she shares her guidance and legal advice with women around the country. When she’s not plotting a new way to help women win, she’s either hiking, gardening, traveling, shopping at local farmer's markets or experiencing new cultures. More than anything, she loves spending her free time with her beautiful daughter.
