## Legal Team

### Robert Cardenas, Esq. — Founder & Managing Attorney
[Profile](https://www.cardenaslawgroup.com/team/robert-cardenas/)

Robert Cardenas founded Cardenas Law Group driven by a single conviction: injured people deserve direct access to their attorney, not a rotating cast of paralegals and case managers. After years of watching high-volume firms prioritize throughput over outcomes, Rob built a boutique firm around the opposite model — every client, every call, every decision goes through him or one of his attorneys personally. A Nevada-licensed litigator with 26+ years of personal injury trial experience, Rob grew up in a bilingual household and is equally fluent in English and Spanish, giving Las Vegas's large Spanish-speaking community access to the same aggressive, concierge-level representation as any other client. He has personally litigated cases resulting in multi-million dollar settlements involving catastrophic injuries, wrongful death, trucking disasters, and bad faith insurance conduct. He is rated **AV Preeminent by Martindale-Hubbell** (the highest possible peer review rating for ethical standards and legal ability), named to **SuperLawyers**, recognized as a **National Trial Lawyers Top 100** attorney, and holds a **10.0 Superb rating on Avvo**.
