About Us

about our firm & why we serve

CARMEN ROSAS, ESQ.
Founder + Managing Attorney

Carmen is the Founder and Managing Partner of Legacy Protection Firm, PC. With over 12 years of legal experience, Carmen is dedicated to helping families protect their loved ones and hard-earned assets.  While studying for the California bar exam, Carmen’s grandmother passed away. This was Carmen’s first time having to face death and the legal formalities that unfortunately came along with it. Not only was she having to grieve for her grandmother, but at the same time she was also having to handle the probate process which proved to be exhausting, stressful and expensive.  Though this time was a difficult one in her life, it inspired Carmen to help others who were struggling with similar situations and Legacy Protection Firm came about.
