Best of the Best

I highly recommend Vernier and Associates. Ruth and her team are the best in the business. Very professional, responsive and compassionate. Ruth will treat you like her own family member. She is one of the most knowledgeable and caring people I’ve had the pleasure of knowing.

Extremely helpful

Vernier & Associates were great, they’ve helped me see my son and give me more time with him. I couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend them!!

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.

BEST LAWYER

Mrs Ruth Vernier and Mrs C. Tenille Duncan were the third family lawyers in my terrible case. My ex husband filed a lawsuit against me wanting full custody. He used very devious ways. Previous lawyers could not help me. Ruth and Tenille won my case amazingly and did everything in the best way. I cann...ot say enough great things about Ruth and Tenille I am forever grateful!

Best Family & Divorce Lawyer

Mrs. Ruth Vernier at Vernier and Associates is truly the best lawyer I could find. She is passionate and she is ready to fight for you no matter what! Her team is highly professional and it was a pleasure to work with them all. I am very pleased with how Mrs. Ruth handled my case, what she promised o...n the beginning, she delivered on the end. I highly recommend Vernier and Associates to anybody.

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.
