Welcome to Rouse Law, P.C.

Who We Are

Welcome to Rouse Law, P.C., where we specialize in Personal Injury and Criminal Defense law. Located in Des Moines, our firm has a steadfast commitment to protecting the rights of our clients. Led by Attorney Ward A. (Sam) Rouse, our team has a long-standing record of successfully pursuing our clients’ legal objectives. For over two decades, Mr. Rouse has been dedicated to providing high-quality legal counsel and representation. Our mission is to ensure that justice is served, and our clients receive the compensation and defense they deserve.

What We Do

At Rouse Law, P.C., we focus on two primary areas of law: Personal Injury and Criminal Defense.

Personal Injury

Accidents can turn your life upside down in an instant. Many of these incidents could have been avoided if not for the negligence or carelessness of another party. If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s recklessness, you may be entitled to compensation. We handle a wide range of personal injury cases, including but not limited to:

• Car Accidents
• Slip and Fall Incidents
• Medical Malpractice
• Workplace Accidents
• Product Liability

Our firm offers a free initial consultation to discuss your case and provide preliminary legal advice. We operate on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, meaning you don’t pay unless we secure a settlement or verdict in your favor.

Criminal Defense

Facing criminal charges can be one of the most daunting experiences of your life. Mr. Rouse brings more than two decades of experience in defending clients against serious state and federal charges. He has tried cases as both a prosecutor and defense attorney, giving him a unique perspective that can be invaluable in your defense. Our criminal defense services cover:

• OWI, DWI, DUI
• Drug-Related Crimes
• Federal Crimes

We offer free initial consultations to discuss the specifics of your case. If Mr. Rouse cannot take on your defense, he will recommend another qualified Des Moines criminal defense attorney who can.
