Highly recommended

From start to finish, this team exceeded my expectations. Ruth, Chase, Brooke, Tara, and Shannon handled my case with the highest level of integrity and care. Their due diligence and thoughtful guidance made an otherwise stressful legal situation feel organized and manageable. During a truly chall...enging life event, I was met with compassion, understanding, and clear direction. I am extremely grateful for their support and would highly recommend this firm to anyone seeking a dedicated and trustworthy legal team.

Red Dragon

Ruth took my case in December 2021 and we won the final battle December 7th 2023. She is definitely worth her weight in GOLD. I highly recommend her and wouldn't blink if i needed her service again. She takes charge and when she speaks in court the opposition even cringes because she knows what ...she talking about and always pushes to get her point across. She is the Red Dragon "Drogan " from Games of Thrones . You need the best, Call Ruth Vernier

Mrs. Ruth Vernier is simply the best

Mrs. Vernier and her team helped guide me through a complex case to my complete satisfaction. Top to bottom her team is professional and tenacious.

Dependable Law Firm

From the moment I walked into Vernier & Associates it was a very welcoming environment and the front office staff was very helpful. Unlike many law firms they were highly efficient with communication which was very important to us. Their office staff was friendly, helpful and understood our needs. Ou...r lawyer was very thorough and continued to review our documents through out the case from the opposing counsel to ensure they were correct and met our needs. High quality service and they had the best interest of our case in mind.

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.
