Transcript
"My name is Rob Cardenas. I am one of the founders and managing attorneys at Cardenas Law Group. I was raised on this idea by my dad that there's only one business in the world, and that's the people business. And so our focus is people, and it starts here at the office. Our staff is super important. The focus is client care, customer service, communication. We believe in the idea that if you build people, then they'll help you build your business.
To me, personal injury law is an opportunity to be a service to other people. And so it is one area of law that enables us to protect and help others that in their time of need. It doesn't cost any thing out of pocket for them. We're not billing hours. I go to bed at night with great satisfaction that I did my best to help other people, and that's really what we're all about. And that's why I love our area of law."
