The best!

Mrs. Vernier was recommended to me by a friend and I am glad they did. Mrs. Vernier and her office associates and staff are extremely professional. They ensured I always felt welcomed! I felt prepared and taken care during every step of my divorce process. Vernier gets the job done!

A topnotch lawyer

It was a pleasure working with Vernier and Associates. The entire staff is very professional, thorough, knowledgeable, courteous, caring, and have the depth and breath of knowledge and experience to ensure the client receives a fair, just, and precise agreement that is complete and without any loose ...ends. Tenille was always on point, she knew my case, the specifics, the goals, and did not get things mixed up with other cases she had on her platter. The communication with her, Denise, and Shannon was always kind, clear, and concise … and if I had any questions, they would ensure they were fully answered prior to ending any conversation either over the phone, in person, or email. Vernier and Associates is not the least expensive firm out there …. But always remember … you get what you pay for and I am totally satisfied with the Firm and their exceptional associates that always exceeded expectations.

Many Thanks!!

I was looking for an out of state divorce and custody lawyer when I saw the google reviews for Ruth Vernier. Ever since our 1st conversation, which Ruth called me on her personal line, Ruth captivated me with her passion for what she does. Ruth told me a number of things including her ethics, vision ...for my case, and what to expect throughout the process. Yes, the retainer was more than I was looking but non the less, it was worth every penny. All appointments and phone calls where always on time. Everyone working there is one big family and I was welcomed since day one with open arms. Ruth was the only one I talked to that knew the opposing firm and had worked with them in the past. Ruth is very knowledgeable and you can see the passion that drives her and her team to be the best assest on your side. I probably was like some of you, I had the same outlook on lawyers, but Ruth gave me a new prospective and breathed a breath of fresh air into my life. There was definitely times where the process got emotional and again there was Ruth to rationalize and help you to see and make the right choice(s). Now that the experience has been meet, my life has never been better. The relationship I have with my ex is more than amazing. Everything, I mean everything, that Ruth and her team said, did, and fought for has been with love and a very professional regard. I can't thank Ruth, Audrey, and Shannon enough for their hard work, understanding and love that they possess. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!! I will definitely use this firm again and again. Again, many Thanks!! John.

Satisfied Client

I have worked with Vernier and Associates for the past two years and couldn't be more satisfied. I am a single mother and going through a custody/visitation case. The staff has been kind, encouraging, and there when needing them along the way. I would recommend Ruth and Associates to anyone going t...hrough custody or child support issues.

  • 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.
