Satisfied Client

I have worked with Vernier and Associates for the past two years and couldn't be more satisfied. I am a single mother and going through a custody/visitation case. The staff has been kind, encouraging, and there when needing them along the way. I would recommend Ruth and Associates to anyone going t...hrough custody or child support issues.

The best attorney i could ask for

My first meeting with Ms.vernier was late one afternoon. I calles and scheduled a consultation late in the afternoon and Ms.Vernier and her staff stayed late that monday to listen to my issues and before i left that day had reassured me that everything was well taken care of and there was nothing to ...worry about. Throughout my case she assisted me any way possible and made sure that everything was well taken care of. I honestly couldn't have asked for someone more knowledgeable and willing to fight for me like Ms.Vernier. would 100% recommend her fo any friends and family.

Ruth was my Angel

When I first met Ruth, I was broken, lost and didn't know of which way to go. My ex husband filed a lawsuit against me wanting full custody. I was extremely fearful and already felt defeated. When I went in for my consultation, I knew IMMEDIATELY Ruth was the answer! Not only was she thorough in ...explaining my situation (the good, bad and the ugly), she put my mind at ease, that she will fight HARD and will not stop until the job is done. She not only did that, she did much more! Ruth and her whole staff were incredible! Skip, Shannon and Mrs. Audrey were all blessings to me and my girls! It is not everyday where you meet with an Attorney, heartbroken and devastated and a year later you have gained a special friend in your life and you are far better than you ever were before. I cannot say enough great things about Ruth and I am forever grateful! If you are looking for the best representation, look no further, you found it!!

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.
