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!

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.

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.
