S. Carlton Rouse

I cannot thank Mr. Rouse enough for the guidance and support he provided during one of the most challenging periods of my career. Navigating an employment situation in a toxic work environment is hard enough, but when it began to take a toll on my mental health, I knew I needed expert advice to prote...ct myself and plan my next steps carefully. Mr. Rouse helped me understand my rights under FMLA, ensuring I could take the necessary time to focus on my mental health without fear of retaliation. He explained the nuances of my employment contract and worked with me to identify the best way to approach my exit strategy in a way that aligned with both my professional and personal goals. His ability to break down complex legal jargon into clear, actionable advice was invaluable. Beyond his professionalism, he showed genuine empathy and care for my well-being, which made all the difference during such a stressful time. I am thankful for his expertise and guidance, I felt empowered to make decisions that prioritized my health and future. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Rouse to anyone seeking knowledgeable, compassionate, and strategic legal support. He is truly exceptional at what he does.

So I was referred to Attorney rouse by a good friend of my mother. I’m a cdl driver so I was looking for someone to help me with a major traffic violation that could have my license revoked for a long time. I called Mr. Rouse and he was very open about how we could go about things and what we should ...do moving forward with the case. He actually was very reasonable with pricing and worked with me as far as my budget. He advised me before I went to court to take a driver improvement course and to do some community service to make it a little easier on myself before going in front of the judge.this was actually great advice. We went to court and to my surprise the clerks and judge knew him on first name basis(that made me feel good) everything that he asked for , the judge granted. I left the court room only with a 300 dollar fine and no points on my cdl. Well later that night I didn’t know the rules as far as punishment for serious violations for cdl drivers. I check the dds and my cdl is suspended for 10 years, for a major lifetime violation. I immediately called attorney rouse and informed him. He advised me that the only thing we possibly could do was withdraw the plea. Normally with most lawyers, after the case is closed you have to pay another fee just to consult again. Attorney rouse was at the court house the next morning, I met him there and we withdrew the plea. Days passed by and I was weary because i was in fear of losing my livelihood. Attorney rouse advised me that since the head solicitor was not willing to give us a lesser please maybe we should try a bench trial. In my head when I think of trial, if you lose it could be bad for you. Of course this came with another fee, I really didn’t wanna try it but I took a step out in faith and trusted attorney rouse’s suggestion. We went to the bench trial and attorney rouse ate them alive. He told me months before, “ you could possibly beat this off of a technicality” I’m thinking nah man I’m cooked! Attorney rouse did his research and I walk out of the court room acquitted, all charges dropped. Before the trial attorney rouse and I talked about the fans leaving the stadium in the at the Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa game and they still won. I’m not gonna lie I thought I was doomed but I watched him work in that court room for 2 hours straight, objection after objection…. When we walked out he looked at me and said you left the stadium but we won in OT! Hire this firm…. We highly recommend this guy. He’s straight up and down

Mr. Rouse was consulted on managing several property easements for the congregation. He promptly returned my calls. He answered our questions about the nature of both temporary and easements. We were interested in change or impact upon property valuation. He helped us to think through the long-term i...mpact on the congregation's properties. He provided helpful insight while encouraging us to stay true to the work of the congregation in the community.

I had a complicated criminal case that changed through the course of the two year case. Mr Rouse handles things in a professional manner comprehensive explanation of the situation once its time to handle his business he does just that I thought I was going to prison but he was able to get my sentance... into something manageable. When he walks in the court room you can see the respect the court has for his work. He talks to you like a person not like a paid client doesn't make you feel dumb if your not educated on a situation he will explain in a kind clear and consice way. If you don't know who to turn to and you don't wanna get lost in a larger lawfirm but need a legal warrior he is your guy. And he isn't a coward or scared in court he knows his stuff. Would recommend him for anything pertaining the law. If you have any doubts contact Rouse and associates.

Once I was informed about my case and had to go to court; I was so worried because I could’ve lost everything if I didn’t get rouse. His pricing was good and was so professional, so I decided to try him out. He informed me about my solutions, and answered every question I had. The odds didn’t look i...n my favor at all considering what I have done, but he managed to get me completely off the hook , he’s very skilled and knowledgeable in the Gwinnett area laws are least and I would highly recommend him after what he done for me.
