Great law firm!

Great support from Vernier and Associates with my divorce case. Knowledgeable, communicative and very friendly team. I highly recommend them for anyone needing legal representation.

Trustworthy and Effective

High level of trust. Consistently provided me with information related to divorce process, path forward, updates, and general guidance. Made an otherwise very difficult life choice relatively painless. Was able to focus on welfare of children and practical concerns as oppose to the administrative ...requirements of divorce throughout the process. Would recommend law firm to friends and family.

Vernier & Associates

When it comes to divorce, I was told that nothing is ever easy and the process is stressful and emotionally draining. The stress and emotions were already high even before thinking about who I would have represent me in my divorce process. With having two kids and a business, I was worried that I w...ouldn't be granted equal rights with my kids and that my business would tank if my wife(ex) tried to take half. But, I can honestly say, that from the first phone call with Mrs. Davis I immediately had a peace about my initial meeting. Within 20 minutes I already knew that this would be the firm I would hire. They made me feel comfortable and their knowledge was incredible! From start to finish I had 100% trust in everyone I worked with and that speaks volumes to me since this was all new to me. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate my attorney Tenille, she was patient with me and all my questions and I knew after meeting her that she would do everything in her power to make sure that everything was settled correctly. Along with having an incredible lawyer, I have to give major props to Rachel! She will literally make sure that every question you have is answered and will do whatever it takes to make sure you understand correctly. Having a great Attorney that would fight for my kids and I, and go the extra mile is something I got with this firm and I have no regrets and have the utmost respect for them.

Awesome Advocates!

When I walked into the offices of Vernier and Associates, I was ready to give up everything just to get out of my marriage as quickly and bloodlessly as possible. Both Ruth Vernier and C. Tenille Duncan listened to my story, understood my plight, and told me that I owed it to myself and to my future ...to not roll over and give up. And so I didn’t. I put my full faith and trust in C. Tenille Duncan and her team. As my advocate, Tenille made sure I landed on my feet with access to assets and with a secure future. Bottom line: Vernier and Associates listen, advocate, protect, and deliver.

Exceptional Legal Team

I had the pleasure to work with Ruth and her team through a complex and difficult situation. Ruth commanded her team with grace and purpose and we navigated the legal complexities with ease and achieved a very good outcome. I would highly recommend her and the entire Vernier team for any divorce or... custody related legal matters. Excellent!

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.
