Amazing service! Amazing group!

Everyone work so hard on being the saving grace that I needed in the time of need. I was recommended by a really good friend and choosing Vernier and Associates was the absolute best thing I could of done for my well being and safety. Coming out of a 10year marriage that I did not work (stay at home... mom) Vernier and Associates helped me with being able to afford to hire them and to fight for me and my kids safety.

Excellent Family Law Attorney

Mrs. Ruth Vernier is the best attorney in the business. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and assertive. Last year, I was facing financial ruin and personal difficulties in my marriage. Vernier and Associates stepped in to handle my case with great care and expertise. They zealously represented my... children and me. Through Mrs. Vernier's expert legal assistance and guidance, my children and I now have a much brighter future.

High Conflict Divorce

I had a high conflict divorce with two very young children. Ruth and her staff were professional, knowledgeable and honest throughout the entire process especially since one of my kids has special needs. Ruth, Skip & Tara were always available to answer my questions & concerns and Shannon was able to... get me in last minute when I needed a meeting. Ruth has great deal of empathy & compassion for her clients. I was very pleased with the mediated settlement that we were able to reach with my ex especially since it was looking like it was headed to trial. Ruth has an excellent reputation and is well respected in the legal community.

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.
