A topnotch lawyer

It was a pleasure working with Vernier and Associates. The entire staff is very professional, thorough, knowledgeable, courteous, caring, and have the depth and breath of knowledge and experience to ensure the client receives a fair, just, and precise agreement that is complete and without any loose ...ends. Tenille was always on point, she knew my case, the specifics, the goals, and did not get things mixed up with other cases she had on her platter. The communication with her, Denise, and Shannon was always kind, clear, and concise … and if I had any questions, they would ensure they were fully answered prior to ending any conversation either over the phone, in person, or email. Vernier and Associates is not the least expensive firm out there …. But always remember … you get what you pay for and I am totally satisfied with the Firm and their exceptional associates that always exceeded expectations.

Thankful

Ruth and her staff, were always very aware of my situation and helped me through a very tough situation with both thoughtfulness and kindness.

THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES OVER!!

Normally I skip over these types of reviews, but when they are so life-impacting, I feel they are necessary. I sued my son's mother for custody due to some very concerning circumstances and issues that were brought to my attention...issues that keep a father up at night and constantly worried. Tenill...e Duncan happen to take my case and she absolutely wiped the floor with the opposing party/counsel. She didn't wipe the floor because the opposing team was inept, she did so because she and Ruth Vernier and their team are brilliant, know the law and are probably the most professional and sharp attorneys I've ever met. Class act doesn't even properly describe Vernier and Associates. They are angels sent from above, FACT! Potentially saved my son's life.

Compassionate attorney in child/parent relationship modification

Ruth Vernier was my 3rd attorney over the last 8 1/2 years. From my first meeting with Ruth, I knew she had a deep care and passion for her clients. She and Brooke did an awesome job representing me and the best interest of my children. Tara Mora was also great in answering my questions and gather...ing information to prep for trial. Ruth was recommended by one of my previous attorneys whom I trusted would direct me to what I needed in my case. She said I would not be disappointed. I can honestly say, I was not. Today, I finally have closure and peace.

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.

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.
