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 truly 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!

The Vernier & Associates law team were exceptional from start to finish. I always felt genuinely cared for and my best interest was always the main focus. If you're looking for a law firm who not only upholds professionalism throughout the process of your case but also gives you a sense of belonging to the family, then this is the right firm for you. Ruth is as tenacious as she is compassionate and her team are equally hard-working as well as kind-hearted.

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 immediately 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 a father and his kids or 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 4 divorces).

I was fighting my divorce for 4 1/2 years back and forth. I came to Ruth Vernier and her and her team took on my case and last week after almost 6 years we won the case. When i first met Ruth i told her i need a Lion for a lawyer. She said well i'm a Dragon. Last week she ate the other attorney for breakfast and i told her afterwards. You are not just a Dragon. You are the Red Dragon from Game of Thrones. Simply awesome to see her in action, take no prisoners, and do it with finesse. Thank you Ruth and her awesome team for taking care of business and kicking ass thru my divorce case. Jesse (Katy TX )

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. Our 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.

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.

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. Tenille 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.

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 gathering 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.

High level of trust. Consistently provided me with information related to divorce process, path forward, updates, and general guidance. Made an otherwise very difficult life choice relatively painless. Was able to focus on welfare of children and practical concerns as oppose to the administrative requirements of divorce throughout the process. Would recommend this law firm to friends and family.

When it comes to divorce, I was told that nothing is ever easy and the process is stressful and emotionally draining. The stress and emotions were already high even before thinking about who I would have represent me in my divorce process. With having two kids and a business, I was worried that I wouldn't be granted equal rights with my kids and that my business would tank if my wife(ex) tried to take half. But, I can honestly say, that from the first phone call with Mrs. Davis I immediately had a peace about my initial meeting. Within 20 minutes I already knew that this would be the firm I would hire. They made me feel comfortable and their knowledge was incredible! From start to finish I had 100% trust in everyone I worked with and that speaks volumes to me since this was all new to me. I cannot say enough how much I appreciate my attorney Tenille, she was patient with me and all my questions and I knew after meeting her that she would do everything in her power to make sure that everything was settled correctly. Along with having an incredible lawyer, I have to give major props to Rachel! She will literally make sure that every question you have is answered and will do whatever it takes to make sure you understand correctly. Having a great Attorney that would fight for my kids and I, and go the extra mile is something I got with this firm and I have no regrets and have the utmost respect for them.

When I recognized that my marriage was at an end, I needed someone to help me navigate my divorce. I remember the first day I walked into the offices of Vernier and Associates. I didn’t have an appointment. I was emotional. I was desperate. I could have been turned away, but that didn’t happen. Shannon at the reception desk listened to me. She then reached out to the legal team and they made the time to see me that day. I was ready to give up everything just to get out of my marriage as quickly and bloodlessly as possible. Both Ruth Vernier and C. Tenille Duncan listened to my story and then offered their first piece of sage advice -- they told me they understood my plight but that I owed it to myself and to my future to not roll over and give up. And so I didn’t. I put my full faith and trust in C. Tenille Duncan and her team. As my advocate, Tenille made sure I landed on my feet with access to assets and with a secure future. Bottom line: Vernier and Associates listen, advocate, protect, and deliver.
