Venier Law recently handled my divorce. They were professional, answered my questions and I feel confident that I made the best choice in firms to help me navigate my divorce. They kept me updated at every step and I cannot express fully how pleased I am with the smooth process and positive outcome of my case. Absolutely would recommend their services to my friends or family. Special thank you to Partner Brooke Vernier Barry who took time to speak with me and explain everything.

Ruth and her team did an amazing job representing me in a very difficult divorce. I was coming out of a 27-year marriage where I knew nothing about the finances, bills, estate, basically nothing. I was one of those overly trusting and controlled women who had no idea how to navigate what was ahead. Everyone took the time to explain the process and my options. Ruth told me the truth from the beginning. Ruth gave me the strength and fortitude to get through a very complicated divorce. She gave me her expertise, knowledge, and experience to navigate it. Ruth’s office works like a family, but with the strength of David facing Goliath. They were always there when I needed them and never shied away from a challenge or complex situation. I would highly recommend Ruth Vernier and Associates.

Ruth is simply amazing! She allowed me to guide my divorce process in a way that I was comfortable with, rather than dictating what I do, although I recommend to simply listen to her! Ruth is a kind and patient person, with a passion for helping her clients, and the results of my case definitely illustrate that.

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. Thank you for everything Ruth & team.
