Amazing attorney

My attorney took a personal interest in helping me understand the legal process and my role. She was knowledgeable and influential. We got so much in the settlement that we did not have to go to trial. Ruth is a blessing.

Strong Leader

I hired Atty Vernier to represent me during my divorce and again 8 years later when child support issues arose. During each case, she lead me with great strength and wisdom during times when I was at my lowest. Each meeting with her left me feeling reassured and more at peace. I recommend her and her... staff to anyone dealing with these painful life issues.

My Angel on Earth

I Hired Ruth Vernier to represent me for my divorce, only to find out I was going to need her for a lot more. Without hesitation she represented me in a criminal court and a divorce court, why do I call her my Angel on Earth? She stood by me every step of the way, I shared my whole life with her, e...verything. She protected me, she defended me, she worked Day and Night 7 Days a week to Win my case, from the outside it looked impossible but for Ruth nothing was impossible, when she believes in what she is fighting for she will fight for you until the end when she Wins your Case, I prayed everyday and I believe in Angels and I know that Ruth was and still is my Earthly Angel. Thank you Ruth Vernier and her Amazing Team for all that you did for me. Ruth, you are Blessed to be a Blessing to others. If you need a Lawyer that will protect you and Win your case, don't look any further Lawyer Ruth Vernier is your Lawyer.

Excellent Experience

Skip Lanz was great in my experience with this firm. I was consistently kept informed about my case and the office staff was extremely helpful, as well as timely, in answering any questions I had. The case was handled successfully and professionally. It was clear that Skip was fully engaged. I would ...absolutely recommend this lawyer to others.

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.
