Derek Benjamin Rouse

I was going through a legal issue with my ex-wife. It was a time sensitive issue that would have had damaging legal ramifications. Mr. Derek Rouse expeditiously handled my case. He went above and beyond what was asked of me. I am extremely pleased with the service I received from The Rouse Firm. They... all have treated me like family, and not just like another client.

I've retained legal services, in various ways, in the past, and Derrick was definitely the most informed and thorough attorney I have worked with...even through a simple consultation. I consulted with Derrick for a hit-and-run case in which I was neither the plaintiff nor the defendant. Derrick ca...refully walked me through the each step of the process as well as scheduled a face-to-face meeting with the PD. Within a few days of following Derrick's advice, I had a certified police report, contact info for the on-scene officer, contact info for both the plaintiff and defendant, and all of the insurance information. Liability for the incident was converted to the correct place(s) in 10 days, and I was completely clear and free. I will definitely go back to Derrick for legal needs in the future.

As much as I like Derek personally I cannot recommend him to anyone to handle a legal matter. He was always so full of excuses, it was frustrating. To give you an idea of the level of disorganization or incompetence I was dealing with: Derek promised me that he would be filing interrogatories in the ...next week. It was six months later the case was settled. Again, I am not here to attack his character. I personally struggled to write this review but his handling of my case was questionable. I tried very hard to be reasonable with him and allow him to make up for the mistakes that he made. I was certainly more generous than anyone I know would have been. But he just couldn't see past his own excuses.

After my car accident I didn't know what to do nor where to turn. A friend referred me to Derrick Rouse and everything got better quickly. He and his staff treated me like royalty. They began working on my case immediately and assured me that everything would be all right. Truth be told I didn't r...ealize that I had much of a case. I was going to go it alone and that was really dumb. Thank you attorney Rouse for your help and thank you for getting things straight and right for me.
