Excellent lawyer

From the initial consultation to the resolution, the expertise and diligence were evident. Their availability to address my concerns, explain legal intricacies, and guide me through each step showcased a level of professionalism that exceeded my expectations. Their empathetic approach and genuine con...cern for my well-being made a significant impact, providing much-needed reassurance. I am truly grateful for the dedication this office exhibited in securing the best possible outcome for my case. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate attorney.

Red Dragon

Ruth took my case in December 2021 and we won the final battle December 7th 2023. She is definitely worth her weight in GOLD. I highly recommend her and wouldn't blink if i needed her service again. She takes charge and when she speaks in court the opposition even cringes because she knows what ...she talking about and always pushes to get her point across. She is the Red Dragon "Drogan " from Games of Thrones . You need the best, Call Ruth Vernier

Quick results

Everyone here has been so kind and easy to work with. They were able to answer all of my questions and were available anytime I needed them. I was able to modify my child custody while obtaining emergency custody of my daughter in the meantime. I really appreciate their swift and caring action in hel...ping me with this. I could not be happier with the outcome!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
