Personal Injury and Wrongful Death

You won't find our trial lawyers on a highway billboard or on a television advertisement. We don't even have an ad in the phone book. We believe attorney advertising is a bad thing and that it demeans our profession. Clients of our firm deserve better. This website is here for you to access if you wish to learn more about us.

Unlike some law firms, we don't take every case that is offered to us. We turn down, quite literally, dozens of cases for every case that we take. Why? Because we want to make sure that we only take the best, most valid cases for the best, most deserving clients.

If you have suffered a serious personal injury or have lost a loved one or family member because of a defective product or the negligent or wrongful actions of someone else — you can depend on us.

At Douthit Frets Rouse Gentile & Rhodes LLC, we focus on helping individuals who have suffered catastrophic injuries (and families who have lost loved ones), to recover as much compensation for their losses as the law allows.
