She is kind, patient and truly cares.

I was a cognitive mess from my abusive marriage and Rose patiently helped me though all of the mess. I thank God for Rose Stout.

Rose is straight shooter,getting to point(GTP)getting thing doneGTD

The work that other attorney did in four hours, Rose did it in one hour. Net savings of three times with result base work. The best shortest and simplest extracted best of best. She can do hard or soft and filter through selectively by her knowledge and experience. Personally,it will take me 20 hou...rs of her one hour work to even find her good reasoning and how she arrived at best result. I rather work 20 hours and help her as knowledgeable customer gets the most. In short, hire Rose first time you get consultation meeting, as I did and look no further. Her para legal Sherry Watson(best team player)will filter and extract 80%. and Rose will do 20% work and get top 80% result . Rose knows what she is doing, and you don't have to look for family attorney in the industry is not available to find any one like her. For only 20% cost you get 80% . Rose gets 100% work done till your case can get all result as it will be just and fare.

This Woman Is Amazing

If you need to hire a Family Lawyer, you are likely going through a difficult or trying time. So you want to work with a lawyer who is compassionate, understanding, and competent. With Rose Stout, you get all of those qualities and more in spades. She went above and beyond what was required to ensure... that I was prepared for court and to ensure that she was prepared for court – and indeed, I did feel completely prepared to make our case when I walked into the courtroom. During our four-day trial, I literally whispered to Rose more times that I can recall, "You are amazing." She absolutely blew me away with how she examined and cross-examined witnesses. Her opening or closing statement alone could have won the case. And, in fact, we did win. I have never seen a lawyer as compelling and convincing as Rose. I am still in awe of how thorough, prepared, and effective she was in the courtroom. Even after the verdict, she maintains a genuine interest in my well-being as I work to determine next steps in my life. It is hard going through a life situation that merits hiring a Family Lawyer. If you have to endure this personal circumstance, do yourself a favor and hire Rose Stout. If you do, you’ll find that navigating divorce and custody has a silver lining – it’s your lawyer, Rose.

Highly recommend Rose!

I asked Rose to handle my divorce, based on a friend's recommendation, and was extremely pleased with her professionalism and thoroughness throughout the most difficult period of my life. She expertly guided me in what was reasonable to expect in terms of child support, alimony, custody, etc. Sh...e's one of the most ethical lawyers I know. Rose also cares about her clients - she always asked how my 4 kids were handling things, knew their names and the activities they were participated in. She even got to know my siblings. That's rare to find a lawyer that cares that much. She did a great job providing an intelligent, rational, and compassionate path forward in such a way that time and money are not wasted. She kept me out of court, using mediation, which was a huge money saver. She was also cognizant and respectful of the fact that I didn't have a lot of cash up front due to the nature of my personal situation, and worked with me to resolve that concern as well. I have had 2 additional friends ask me for her name because I often spoke highly of her in social circles throughout the divorce process, as well as afterward. Her integrity has also led me to ask her for her personal recommendations on a lawyer to handle a separate non-familial legal issue. Bottom line - I trust her. She really was awesome and highly recommend her for family law issues! --April G.

Highly Recommended

Rose Stout is an answer to prayer. Before I retained Rose, I had met with several family law attorneys. I could not in good conscience retain any of them. With an imminent trial, I reached out to an acquaintance who helps the courts pursue parents that are delinquent in paying child support. Of all o...f her years in the county courtrooms and observing countless attorneys, she said she knew of one attorney who practiced family law “for the right reason: the children.” She recommended Rose so highly, she would not give me any other name to call. She could not have been more on point. In my first meeting with Rose, she asked to see a picture of my child and wanted a personality description. Something no other attorney did. She also answered my questions and gave me her honest opinion and perspectives on specific issues. In a very complicated custody case, Rose has never lost sight of the main focus of advocating for what is best for our child. Rose’s tenured experience in the courtroom combined with her methodical and sound approach are unmatched. During my trial, another attorney came in to observe Rose because of her stellar reputation in the family law community. Several times I have mentioned she is my attorney to others and have heard ”you have one of the best” and other similar comments. Family disputes are messy but Rose has helped me navigate ours. She always encourages me to take the high road and stay focused. Likewise, she does the same. We fought a battle, I never wanted to fight and I fared better than I ever thought I would because Rose was at the helm.
