S. Carlton Rouse

Educated. Reliable. Professional. Caring. Desired Results I really appreciated having attorney C. Rouse who fought as hard as I did to not only settle my case, but help me receive exactly what I asked for. I will like to thank you for all of your hard work and dedication to this case. Also, thank you for always answering the phone, keeping me up to date and making sure we did not take unreasonable offers. I will definitely refer friends and family in need of legal representation.

Saved from serious jail time hired Carlton Rouse to represent me when I I I was facing serious charges carrying up to a 20 year imprisonment. He worked tirelessly for 2 years to negotiate my sentence down to 5 years of probation and 30 days in jail. The entire time he was extremely empathetic and patient with me and my obvious distraught with the situation. He was thoughtful, courteous, and clear in all of his communications. He's a great lawyer and a great person, and I'm happy to have had him in my corner during the most tumultuous period of my life. Thank you, Carlton! View More

Good Lawyer Good Support My name is Willie G-dman; I am the pastor of a local congregation. I received Rouse & Co. LLC, Attorney at Law in referral from a peer pastor. Rouse was contacted because my congregation participated in temporary and permanent easement discussions with our local municipality. Rouse worked with us through two discussion iterations. These easements were related to several properties owned by the congregation. Our concern was with our understanding of the documents, the impact of the easements upon the property and that of neighbors, and whether the permanent easement would negatively impact the future development of one property. Rouse answered every call and responded to every email promptly. A research and review of the documents, answers to our questions, and address of concerns related to our interests were provided. I will say that his attentive customer service, and address of stated need, helped the congregation leaders and me feel confident that our local municipality would resolve our understanding and other concerns. We completed our negotiations with the offered understanding of Rouse. I appreciate Rouse’s expansion in providing legal guidance in the community. View More

Calm in the midst of our storm In early 2021, we found ourselves in an unexpected situation and in need of legal counsel and advocacy. No one ever really thinks they need a lawyer until they do. We had met Mr. Carlton Rouse through a local YMCA where we watched him coach our girls’ basketball team. We had seen his character and calm manner in action. So when we found ourselves in a position where we needed legal guidance and someone to walk us through what felt like a daunting and scary process, Carlton was our first thought. From the initial phone call to the last conversation when our case was dismissed, Carlton has not only been the consummate professional, but has also been a calm in the midst of a storm for our family. His diligence with our case and personal care as we’ve navigated the legal system provided a sense of stability, peace, and confidence. He knows how to help people find their footing in difficult legal situations. If you are facing something that feels daunting and overwhelming, I cannot recommend Mr. Rouse enough. He will help you find your way through any legal battle with calm and resilience. I would highly recommend hiring him for any legal needs you may face. View More

Would highly recommend! Carlton was great! He is very fair and upfront with pricing and expectations. He is very thorough and quick with responses both in and out of the courtroom. He does not back down and will put up a great fight for you if it is the right thing, even when the odds are not great. I am a father that had a ugly custody battle. With Carlton's support, I was able to win primary custody of my son to keep him in a stable home (not an easy task). Hopefully I will never need his services again, but should the situation arise, he would be my first phone call. View More

My Attorney for life! Carlton, came to me highly recommended by a co-worker and personal friend. I was truly in need, I was blind-sided, scared and confused. Carlton has been AMAZING! To date, I’ve used the services of Rouse & Co. LLC, for multiple cases both Domestic (Custody battle) & Personal injury. Carlton is fair, honest, trustworthy, affordable and most importantly gets RESULTS. In my personal cases, the other parties went through multiple attorneys, didn’t honor agreements and tried every dirty play possible. Carlton was/is spot on with his case and arguments, he’s always several steps ahead on every level. He is not afraid to step up and take charge of a situation, while also controlling his situation like a well conducted orchestra. Carlton understands this is ALL (every call, meeting or hearing) is personal for his clients, so he gives the opportunity for personal discussions and time to HEAL. While providing a focus and attentiveness to details that helps secure the best position possible for the case. I would recommend Rouse & Co. LLC, for all your legal needs. View More
