Josephia Elease Georgetta Rouse

I’m a proud Black female family law attorney based in Maryland, and I’ve been practicing law since 2013. Today, I focus my practice on divorce and family law because I believe that’s where I can make the greatest impact. My clients are often going through one of the most painful transitions of their lives. Whether it’s a high-conflict divorce, a custody battle, or the restructuring of a family unit, I’m here to provide strategy, structure, and support.

I work best with clients who are ready to take control of their future. From our first conversation, I focus on understanding your goals and creating a plan that protects what matters most—your loved ones, your identity, and your long-term financial security. I believe in clear communication, smart legal strategy, and empowering you to make informed decisions every step of the way.

Outside of work, I’m deeply connected to my own family. I also make time for long walks, spa days, and self-care so that I can show up for my clients with compassion, focus, and strength.

Life can be unpredictable. But with the right legal support, I believe you can come through stronger and build the future you deserve.
