Ms.

Ruth Vernier is amazing! She gave me the outcome I was seeking and took my case seriously. She had my child’s best interest at heart and I will be the first to say Ruth is an amazing woman, mom, and attorney. I trust her with everything and she handled my situation with grace and compassion. She trul...y cares about the best interest of your children and is dedicated to keeping your family safe. Ruth Vernier is by far the best family law attorney in the area. In my opinion, she is not considered “budget friendly” but it is true that you get what you pay for and she is worth every penny! Everyone in her office is friendly; the paralegals, attorneys and the finance manager. If anyone ever needs a recommendation for a family law attorney, I give them Ruth’s information. Tara, Brooke and Chase were so helpful and got us to the finish line within a year timeframe. They are very professional and knowledgeable in law. They answered all of my questions, even the silly ones and I believe I had a LOT of little questions. I cannot repay them enough for all of their hard work in this matter. Ruth and her team are truly angels. Look no further - you found your attorney and I’d say good luck - but you won’t need any luck when you retain Vernier and Associates! Thanks again for everything Ruth. I will forever remember/cherish how far you and your team went to protect my precious little one. I think the world of you guys!

Child Custody

I would highly recommend Vernier & Associates PLLC! Very helpful and extremely understanding in every aspect of my case. The staff is very professional, friendly and communicative as well as swift in getting things done. For anyone looking for a highly rated family law firm, Vernier & Associates PLLC... is the place to go!

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.

Would recommend

I'm not one to typically write reviews but I have used various different attorney offices for family court and by far vernier and associates did more and kept updated with what was going and put me at ease. I've never trusted a law firm more than them and would definitely use them again and would re...commend them to any one who asks

Great Service

Working with Ruth and her amazing team made going through my SAPCR case as painless as possible. Having their representation really made a difference in the outcome of my case. I was counseled through out the process and they ensured I was not taken advantage of and aware of my rights and doughy to e...nsure my requests were made. I could not have gone through this without the great counsel I received. I am thankful to the entire team and their support.

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.
