Would recommend

I'm not one to typically write reviews but I have used various different attorney offices for family court and by far vernier and associates did more and kept updated with what was going and put me at ease. I've never trusted a law firm more than them and would definitely use them again and would re...commend them to any one who asks

Vernier & Associates

When it comes to divorce, I was told that nothing is ever easy and the process is stressful and emotionally draining. The stress and emotions were already high even before thinking about who I would have represent me in my divorce process. With having two kids and a business, I was worried that I w...ouldn't be granted equal rights with my kids and that my business would tank if my wife(ex) tried to take half. But, I can honestly say, that from the first phone call with Mrs. Davis I immediately had a peace about my initial meeting. Within 20 minutes I already knew that this would be the firm I would hire. They made me feel comfortable and their knowledge was incredible! From start to finish I had 100% trust in everyone I worked with and that speaks volumes to me since this was all new to me. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate my attorney Tenille, she was patient with me and all my questions and I knew after meeting her that she would do everything in her power to make sure that everything was settled correctly. Along with having an incredible lawyer, I have to give major props to Rachel! She will literally make sure that every question you have is answered and will do whatever it takes to make sure you understand correctly. Having a great Attorney that would fight for my kids and I, and go the extra mile is something I got with this firm and I have no regrets and have the utmost respect for them.

Great Service

Working with Ruth and her amazing team made going through my SAPCR case as painless as possible. Having their representation really made a difference in the outcome of my case. I was counseled through out the process and they ensured I was not taken advantage of and aware of my rights and doughy to e...nsure my requests were made. I could not have gone through this without the great counsel I received. I am thankful to the entire team and their support.

Vernier & Associates

Vernier & Associates is an outstanding law firm that truly cares about their clients. I mainly worked with Ms. C. Tenille Duncan and Ms. Rachel Springer and I cannot express how grateful I am for their hard work and dedication. They listen to you in a compassionate manner, and they are very knowledge...able and focused. Also, Ms. Shannon Davis, the receptionist, is always so pleasant and helpful. I highly recommend Vernier & Associates.

Awesome Advocates!

When I walked into the offices of Vernier and Associates, I was ready to give up everything just to get out of my marriage as quickly and bloodlessly as possible. Both Ruth Vernier and C. Tenille Duncan listened to my story, understood my plight, and told me that I owed it to myself and to my future ...to not roll over and give up. And so I didn’t. I put my full faith and trust in C. Tenille Duncan and her team. As my advocate, Tenille made sure I landed on my feet with access to assets and with a secure future. Bottom line: Vernier and Associates listen, advocate, protect, and deliver.

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.
