Why Rouse Lawyers?

Three things:

  1. Value
  2. Competence
  3. Reputation

Value

Unlike many commercial law firms who still live in the 1990s, we won’t try to book you in for so-called initial consultation and charge you $400 an hour for it.

That’s not how we practice law.

We don’t mind having a chat with you over the phone to find out what the issue is you’re trying to solve. If we can help, we’ll tell you what we can do for you and often give you a ballpark figure of the cost involved.

If you’re interested, we’ll invite you for in-depth, no obligation, free consultation at our office to understand in detail your situation and give you an accurate cost estimate.

We set ourselves apart from the pack by offering our clients a strict No Surprises Fee Policy. What it means in practice is – you’ll never be charged anything you didn’t expect to be charged when we gave you a quote. Period.

We stick to our end of the deal every time.

Competence

We’re not large in numbers but what we’ve got at our disposal are some of the best legal minds around.

Give us a call to find out what we mean.

Reputation

With Rouse Lawyers, you’re dealing with professionals who value each client and our own reputation. We simply can not afford, from the business point of view, to cut corners when we serve our clients no matter how profitable it might be for others.

When we say “we’ll look after you” – we mean it.

Literally.
