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!!

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!!

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.

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.
