Ruth L. Vernier Saves The Day

Ruth Vernier handled my divorce, and her knowledge of the law was unparalleled! She worked tirelessly on my case, and never let me or my children down. She is an exceptional lawyer that did more in two weeks than my previous lawyer did in six months! I would not recommend any other lawyer for famil...y law and I have several friends that have been very pleased with her, as well.

Beyond my expectations

Ruth and her team are seasoned professionals. At Vernier & Associates, you're being represented by the most experienced and hard working set of individuals a client could ask for. They coordinate well and are there to support your personal interests by informing and educating you on the legal proces...s from start to finish. What drew me to Ruth was her ability to really understand me as a person. From the moment I met Ruth, I quickly noticed how much effort she placed on listening to me and getting to know my circumstances. She prepared diligently and delivered with precision when we headed before the Judge. I received a highly favorable ruling and was able to position myself for a settlement that would serve in the best interests of my family. I can't emphasize the importance of having a professional like Ruth in your corner. She always has your back and will continually work hard to get the results you desire. I was very privileged to have Ruth and her team represent me during my legal battle. I personally recommend her because of her willingness to go the extra mile and in her preparation leading to court. She is a strong woman and a good hearted person! If you so happen to find yourself in the unforeseen position I was placed in from last year, be sure to hire an attorney who has the knowledge and wisdom to get you through to the other side of divorce. Her name is Ruth Vernier!

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.
