Dependable Law Firm

From the moment I walked into Vernier & Associates it was a very welcoming environment and the front office staff was very helpful. Unlike many law firms they were highly efficient with communication which was very important to us. Their office staff was friendly, helpful and understood our needs. Ou...r lawyer was very thorough and continued to review our documents through out the case from the opposing counsel to ensure they were correct and met our needs. High quality service and they had the best interest of our case in mind.

Best Family & Divorce Lawyer

Mrs. Ruth Vernier at Vernier and Associates is truly the best lawyer I could find. She is passionate and she is ready to fight for you no matter what! Her team is highly professional and it was a pleasure to work with them all. I am very pleased with how Mrs. Ruth handled my case, what she promised o...n the beginning, she delivered on the end. I highly recommend Vernier and Associates to anybody.

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.
