Ruth Lavada Vernier

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!!

I Hired Ruth Vernier to represent me for my divorce, only to find out I was going to need her for a lot more. Without hesitation she represented me in a criminal court and a divorce court, why do I call her my Angel on Earth? She stood by me every step of the way, I shared my whole life with her, e...verything. She protected me, she defended me, she worked Day and Night 7 Days a week to Win my case, from the outside it looked impossible but for Ruth nothing was impossible, when she believes in what she is fighting for she will fight for you until the end when she Wins your Case, I prayed everyday and I believe in Angels and I know that Ruth was and still is my Earthly Angel. Thank you Ruth Vernier and her Amazing Team for all that you did for me. Ruth, you are Blessed to be a Blessing to others. If you need a Lawyer that will protect you and Win your case, don't look any further Lawyer Ruth Vernier is your Lawyer.

Skip Lanz, who works under Ruth, represented my case. He was always available to take my phone calls or returned them in a timely manner. As the laws for Father's are limited, I was able to obtain more than my fair share because Skip wouldn't settle. Skip was realistic on what I could obtain and not ...setting high hopes. Also, Tara, the paralegal, she is wonderful! I had met for a consultation previously before hiring Ruth's firm to represent. If you are struggling to decide on whether or not you should hire representation, here is my analogy. If you are having issues with your car, are you going to fix it yourself, or are you going to hire a mechanic to fix it? If you know how to fix the problem, you don't need a mechanic. However, if you don't know how to fix the problem, you would hire a mechanic to fix it. If you know the law, then you don't need an attorney. But if you don't know all the laws, then I would highly recommend you hire an attorney. (Note: just because you have had friends/family go through a divorce, doesn't mean they know all the laws. Every single case is different). You can't go wrong with Ruth's firm.

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.

Ruth and her team did a great job representing me. I am a single father whose children live with their mother and a string of "uncles". My oldest daughter turned 12 and my other daughter was 7 and both asked to live with me. I went to several lawyers until I found Vernier and Associates and immediate...ly hired her and the team. The battle went on for 4 1/2 yrs. Ruth proved that I am a good father and that I provide for my kids. The court system did not care and the Judge decided to leave the kids where they were. I learned that if both parents are good the court system does not care about your kids and what they want. Ruth did a great job and kept the judge from taking all my assets. The original possession order stands with only a small change in child support. (sixty days later and my ex is getting her second divorce after me, making her total of 5 divorces).
