Child custody attorney

Attorney Ruth Vernier and Associates are the best in the business. From start to finish including the initial consultation the attorney and staff was extremely professional and sensitive to the matter of custody we were seeking. The attorney and staff was well educated on the laws and explained our... options thoroughly and sought after what was rightfully deserved. This was an extremely difficult time for our family and Ruth Vernier and staff represented us in a way that we could not lose and it was a HUGE win for us! Thank you!!

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 results from a hard working attorney

I was seeking a modification to a current agreement which I knew going in was difficult but as a Mother knew was in the best interests of my child. I met with Ruth and her team, explained my situation and they made me very comfortable in pursuing my modification as well as informing me this was goin...g to be a difficult case. The case ended up going to trial after almost 10 months, 2 mediations and a temporary hearing. At the end Ruth was able to obtain an excellent result. Throughout the entire process I always knew she had the best interests of my child in mind and that she truly felt the anguish I was going through. She and her team really understood the emotional toll these cases take and always were very comforting. Ruth was always honest with me as we did have some bumps in the road and she had no issue explaining to me how difficult this was going to be. She never pressured me into any situation and it was always my decision on how to proceeed. Furthermore, Ruth always was prepared with the information I gave to her and her team. I would highly recommend Ruth to anyone.

Best Attorney in Houston!

I have already recommended this attorney to many people and will continue to do so. From the very beginning when I was very emotional, Ruth showed caring, compassion and the sensitivity that I needed during a very difficult time in my life. I am a man who was in the middle of a custody battle, w...hich in the state of Texas usually always goes to the woman. Ruth was instrumental in helping me win my case and most importantly always had my childrens best interest at heart. She even went as far as giving them gifts, as she was very compassionate to them and what they were going through as well. Ruth was very professional in all that she did, and always kept me very informed answering all of my communications very promptly. There were many times she got in touch with me before I could contact her. Every step of the way, she kept me updated on what was going on and what the charges would be. All charges where explained to me before I hired her, which to me was very important. Ruth's knowledge and contacts within the legal industry will far exceed your expectations. She is straight forward and honest with staunch uprightness and sterling character. There are many attorneys out there who are just looking to get paid and do not represent their clients with 100% of their ability. Ruth cares about her clients and their cases more than anything else, and when it comes to money I cannot begin to explain how much her help meant to me. Ruth is worth way more than what she charges. If you are reading this and looking for an attorney, look no further, go talk to Ruth Vernier. Tell her you heard she eats red meat for breakfast. My case was not the first custody case for a man she has won, and it certainly will not be the last.
