About Weyman
Biography
My name is Weyman E. Rooks, III and I will enter my 28th year of practicing law in June 2020. I have practiced law in Carrollton, Georgia and the west Georgia area for my entire career and represent clients primarily in Carroll, Coweta, Heard, Troup, Haralson, Polk, Paulding and Douglas County. I handle divorce cases, high asset divorce cases, adoptions, all family law related cases as well as criminal defense, DUI defense, and traffic related cases. I also draft wills and handle business formation and incorporation for my clients as well as property tax appeals. I am also a registered Mediator and Arbitrator and have successfully resolved hundreds of all types of cases through alternative dispute resolution for clients and local attorneys. I am married to Emily M. Rooks, a local physician in the Tanner system, and we have five beautiful children. I enjoy spending time with my family, hunting, and live music in what little free time I have away from the office. My family and I are also members of Midway Church and I am and have been a Life Group leader there since 2014.

Weyman Elmo Rooks III's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. I've known Wey for many years both personally and professionally. Wey is a preeminent attorney in the areas of family law/divorce and DUI defense, and his vast experience has now made him an excellent mediator as well. He is highly intelligent, very knowledgeable, and extremely hard-working. This combination makes him a first choice for anyone looking to hire an attorney in these areas, or for anyone in need of a mediator. I highly recommend Weyman Rooks."
"I endorse this lawyer. I have known Wey for about 17 years and he is one of the top attorneys in Carrollton. He is one of the best domestic attorneys in town. He also has a strong background in criminal defense representation. (He actually helped me get started in my criminal practice. He and I go to DUI training seminars together every year.) He also has a mediation practice. He has an unsurpassed work ethic and truly cares about his clients. I would highly recommend Wey to anyone needing an attorney in Divorce or Criminal Defense, or a Mediator for mediations."
