Hired Attorney 2020Mrs 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 cannot say enough great things about Ruth and Tenille I am forever grateful! Just a quick thank you for all you did, including answering each and every one of my many emails! You made a difficult process much easier to get through. Thanks for all your hard work and time spent clarifying my questions and concerns.

Hired Attorney 2019-2020Ruth knows the law and will do what it takes within the law to ensure the outcome is what you seek. I can’t say enough about how she has truly been there for my family though a heartbreaking and very difficult child custody case. We highly recommend her.
