Worked on an involved case with Ward for a client of mine in New Jersey. Our client was a charged in Iowa. There was an involved suppression issue where the testimony was taken and cross examination was done by Ward. Because of his skilled lawyering, our joint client received an excellent result. ... He was attentive to our office and to our client's needs. It was pleasure working with another experienced criminal defense attorney, in a state I was not familiar with beforehand. Great to know I have a partner out in Iowa!

This was my first encounter ever with the legal system. Mr. Rouse was recommended by a colleague to help me navigate the system and pursue the best possible outcome. Every step of the way, Mr. Rouse was highly responsive, accurate with his assessment and proposed course of action, and represented m...e in a most professional and courteous manner. Moreover, he was most diligent in taking the time needed to explain in detail the processes (both Legal and Administrative/DOT) in which I was engaged....this was greatly appreciated given that I had absolutely no experience whatsoever with these processes and their intricacies. In terms of resolution, I believe strongly that Mr. Rouse pursued the best possible outcome in dealing with the prosecutor. While such outcomes are seldom 'perfect', his efforts obviated the need for trial and achieved an amended and far less serious charge. I would highly recommend Mr. Rouse. He brings tremendous experience, poise, and down-to-earth common sense to the table and provides highly personalized attention to the clients he represents.

Ward Rouse is an excellent litigator. Our family was originally referred to him by an attorney. Ward is an excellent listener with a can do attitude. He helped us fully understand the nature of the legal process from discovery to our son's appearance before the judge and prosecutor. Ward was alway...s available to us by personal visits and telephone. He addressed all of our questions and exhibited a great sense of confidence and patience. In the courtroom, he was able to negotiate the best sentencing outcome with the judge and prosecuting attorney for our son. Ward followed up after the sentencing to help our son complete the requirements for his DUI and fulfill all of the court orders. We highly recommend Ward Rouse as a very experienced attorney.

Ward Rouse represented my family in a criminal defense case. He was forthright and honest and explained every possible senario of our case's outcome. He was able to get us a plea for a reduced sentence, then a deferred sentence. He is extremely knowledgeable and is always available for questions a...nd help. I feel we were very well represented and highly recommend him.
