Highly Recommend: Difficult Time Made Better

I was broken the day I walked into consult with Ms. Vernier about filing for divorce. We connected immediately and I knew that if I were to go through with the divorce, that I wanted Ms. Vernier and team by my side. Fast forward four months, Ms Vernier and her team helped me push through a very diffi...cult divorce and I landed in a place that exceeded my expectations. This is an excellent firm, they are great at what they do, they are professional, they are always prepared, they execute, and for me most importantly they care. Although I am happy this event in my life is over, I will miss them because they had my back when I was weak, they genuinely cared about me, and they provided the support and occasional hug that I needed. A big personal thank you to Ms. Vernier, Audrey, Skip and Shannon!! I will never forget what each one of you have done for me . . . My new chapter now finally begins!!! Thank you all again!!!

Just what I needed

Ruth Vernier definitely got the job done. I would highly recommend. She listened to me and made the horrible situation bearable.

Counselor at Law

The first time I met Ruth Vernier she told me she was a Counselor at Law, and that she took the "Counselor" part of that seriously. My experience with her has proven that to be true. Not only is Ms Vernier an excellent attorney, but I felt personally cared for throughout the process.

The best

From the moment I met Ruth she was a force to be reckoned with. She handled my custody case as though it was a personal family matter of her own. Her entire law team was with me throughout my case and even worked with my busy work schedule. Most importantly when I was in court I felt like I had a sma...ll entourage helping me to win my custody case for my 4 children. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

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.
