Ruth, Tara and Shannon always we t above and beyond to make sure my needs were being met.

Ruth Vernier & Associates came through for me during a most difficult time in my life. She & her entire staff were so calming, patient and understanding. She gave me my confidence back & she fought for what was right. I've recommended them to friends and will do so in the future.

I highly recommend Ruth and Skip. They were both kind and compassionate in my time of need. Skip was there to answer all my questions, no matter the time of day or night, and guide me through the divorce process with his expert knowledge. He did all this while listening and understanding my needs and concerns. I definitely felt listened to and understood. They helped ease a lot of anxiety during a stressful time.

I have worked with Ruth and her staff resolving QDRO issues for her clients since December 2005. I have always found Ruth and her staff to be conscientious and professional with her client's interests in the forefront. I would (and have) recommended her for any family law matter.

I can not recommend Ruth Vernier and her legal team highly enough! I am officially divorced as of today. She fought for me against a very bitter ex husband who pulled out all of the stops to make sure I got nothing. In the end I not only received my fair share, but more than enough to make sure after 22 years of being an at home mom I am secure. Ruth encouraged and helped me along the way making sure I was informed about the process and how things were being handled. She let me know that she was available for me 24/7! I grew to appreciate and value her as well as everyone she works with greatly. If you are in need, this is the attorney you should choose.

When you need solid advice, great counsel, and an attorney that has your back, then you need to call Ruth Vernier. Ruth sets the standard for getting the job done in Montgomery County! Everyone I have referred to Ruth throughout the years have all come away with a fantastic experience and the outcome they wanted!

I have worked with Ruth's office on many family law and real estate issues. Ruth and her office are responsive and very thorough. They are very conscientious in their drafting and want it to be right. Ruth will always work hard to accomplish the client's objectives. I would highly recommend this law firm to a friend.

Ruth and staff are the best!!

When you are gearing up for a potentially difficult battle, you hire the best mercenaries you can find. You don't shop on price, because losing isn't an option. So, I hired Ruth as my divorce attorney. She is kind, listens intently and performed flawlessly in helping me find a workable solution. Don't mess around. Hire Ruth. Or you'll wish you had. Good Luck!

Ruth Vernier represented me in what turned out to be a very difficult divorce. Ruth and her staff were always available to take my many calls and always made me feel as if I was a priority for them. Ruth acted as my councilor, fought for and achieved a fair settlement for me. By the time the divorce was final, I truly felt as if Ruth and her staff were dear friends.

I have used both attorneys at Vernier & Associates and have had fantastic results, the most recent being Mr. Skip Lanz.

Ruth won me custody of my child in a contested case in 2012. 3 years later I found myself back in court fighting false allegations of a vindictive Ex bent on permanently eliminating me from my child's life.

My child's future as well as my own were entrusted to Mr. Lanz who performed miraculously. Mr. Lanz has a strong courtroom presence and takes the time to know not only your case but you personally. I could not be more happy with the representation I received and felt like I had an old friend fighting for me all the way. I was kept well informed and could always reach Skip when I needed to.

Skip not only disproved the false allegations but got me custody of my child back. I would not hesitate to recommend or retain Mr. Lanz again . He is straight forward, insightful and will aggressively fight for your rights and needs.

My husband & I had a very stress less visit with Mrs. Vernier when we went to have our wills updated. She and her office staff were very caring, thoughtful and answered all of our questions that we had on this very delicate matter. I would highly recommend Mrs. Vernier and her staff for any legal issues that you may have, no matter how simple or hard she will put you to ease and get the job done. Thanks again for your assistance

Having worked in the litigation industry for 28 years, I have experienced working with many different law firms. Ruth Vernier and her staff at Vernier & Associates have been the most experienced and knowledgeable family law firm I have had the pleasure to call my client. I have worked with Ruth's group in document management and support for over 10 years now, and have always been met with professionalism and expertise. I highly value this organization as my client!

As I plan to move to the area one day, I will definitely use the firm for any family based legal needs I have. You come highly recommended.

Ruth and her team are outstanding, very knowledgeable and Ruth makes sure to look out for her client's best interests. She is very easy to work with, listens carefully, and offers her expert advice to discuss and make a joint approach. I high recommend her practice.

I highly recommend Vernier & Associates! Ruth is amazing and so is her office staff. They are always there to answer any questions. Excellent service!!!

I highly recommend Vernier & Associates. A custody battle is never a nice thing to go through, but with Skip Lanz he left no stone unturned, and really listened. He was always a phone call away, and there to walk me through every process. They will fight hard for you!

We called twice to get information about setting an appointment regarding emancipation, which is one of the first things listed on their website. And was told they don't handle emancipation. The receptionist was very rude and hung up on me. I called again and spoke to another receptionist regarding a different matter, and I heard her yelling in the background to the first receptionist I spoke to that "it was the same lady" and then she also hung up on me with no explanation. Extremely rude and inconsiderate.

Skip was great, we had several issue with an amendment that was filed for my husbands divorce that had double talk to favor the ex and unreasonable request for change of custody. Skip straighten all the issues out to make custody fair on both sides.

Horrible lawyer!!! Still suffering the consequences of hiring her. Absolute joke! Thousands and she did nothing!! Worthless beyond words.

I hired ruth

Ruth tried to fight for everything she could get for me and she got most of the stuff she asked for but my ex and his father were liars, cheaters and hide a bunch of stuff. my kids and i didnt get alot but i walked away with what i could get.

Ruth is a very knowledgeable attorney who truly cares about helping her clients. And works with you to help decide the best route to take for your situation. She is the best attorney I have worked with.

I hired Atty Vernier to represent me during my divorce and again 8 years later when child support issues arose. During each case, she lead me with great strength and wisdom during times when I was at my lowest. Each meeting with her left me feeling reassured and more at peace. I recommend her and her staff to anyone dealing with these painful life issues.

Ruth Vernier and Skip Lanz made me feel extremely comfortable during my familys hard time. They both shared a genuiene concern for myself and my child. I felt prepared confident due to their passion commitment to their client. I will continue to hire them both for any issue that may arise.

Excellent experience. Everyone I was in contact with was more than accommodating and extremely helpful. Skip Lanz was very professional and I’d definitely recommend him to others.

Vernier & Associates is a very professional firm that specializes in family law. I was very happy with the services received during an extremely difficult divorce. The results of the proceedings, far exceeded my expectations. I would like to extend a personal thank you to Vernier & Associates for helping me during a very difficult time in my life. Your team is strong, winning oriented and caring.

I retained the firm to handle a modification for child support after an epic failure with the OAG's office. From day one, Shannon at the front desk was professional, courteous, and always on top of matters if I needed to call. Skip took on my case, and immediately put my worries to rest. He was able to navigate through an extremely aggressive opposing counsel that was out of touch with reality. Skip not only took my concerns seriously, but he provided excellent counsel about the legalities surrounding my specific case. He also made sure that my children's needs and well being were reflected from day one, which was the most important thing for me. He and his paralegal Audry were an amazing team! I was not overbilled, and invoices were clear and easy to understand. If I had any questions, again Audry and Shannon were amazing and helpful. Should I need counsel in the future, I will call him first.

Ruth and Skip are the most professional and compassionate people I have ever met. They worked very hard on my case. I highly recommend their services.

The services at Vernier & Associates were outstanding! I reached out for services to complete a Will & Living Trust. It was done in a very timely fashion! Great supportive staff!!

Excellent staff!! Wonderful service!!

I just recently finalized a divorce with an adversarial, abusive spouse. Ruth worked hard to make sure I was protected in every way, both financially and legally. She took the time to explain the process and contacted me on weekends and after hours with pertinent information regarding my case. Her office staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Ruth is a strong advocate for women, and works hard to protect their interests and the interests of their children.

Ruth explained everything I needed to know about the divorce process. Skip was available to answer all my questions and got me through the whole process. Tara and Shannon are the glue of the firm. I highly recommend their firm.

Skip and Tara were just amazing to work with. During a very difficult time in my life The Vernier Law Firm made me feel as if everything was going to be OK. The helped to remove the stress of the time. Their communication is top notch. The way I would describe Skip is he is the type of person that 5 minutes after meeting him you feel as if he is a life long friend. The very first thing Skip said to me was "don't worry, you will get through this ....WE will get through this together and it is my job to guide you through this process". Without hesitation I recommend this firm .......

I highly recommend Vernier & Associates to to anyone in need of a great attorney! Dealing with divorce, especially when children are involved is very difficult. Skip helped me out tremendously! The communication was clear from the start. I can't thank them enough for their help!

Worked with Skip and Tara from this Firm and was BEYOND SATISFIED with the professionalism, care and courtesy that all demonstrated with my case. I would and have recommended them to friends and colleagues for any Family Law needs. Thank you Skip and Tara........ Absolute Life Savers!!!!!

Skip and Ruth have held my hand through this entire ordeal. They are straight talkers and do their best to keep me strong because so many times I find myself ready to back down. Skip has been honest with me the entire process and super quick to respond to all of my questions.

Mrs. Vernier is professional, hard-working and dedicated. She worked very hard to get the best outcome in my case. I was very pleased with Mrs. Vernier's representation and highly recommend her services.

I have used Ruth and her team for divorce, emergency modification and mediation over the past 7 years. Each time they showed genuine concern and sensitivity to the situation while fighting for a fair outcome every time.

We consider ourselves very fortunate to know Ruth L. Vernier. She is one of the most caring, genuine, knowledgeable and loving people that we have ever met. Her wisdom is astonishing - she is a true "Counselor", We look upon her and her staff as "Family", and will continue to rely on her and her staff for all of our legal needs. Highly recommended!

Very empathetic and helpful. Always worked hard to support all of our needs.

Ruth and her staff make you feel like family. I very highly recommend her office.

It was a relief to have someone like Ruth working for me and with me during a difficult time. She was the voice I needed when I couldn't always find my own. She was professional, punctual and answered every question I had.

Highly recommend Ruth and her team to anyone!

I had a high conflict divorce with two very young children. Ruth and her staff were professional, knowledgeable and honest throughout the entire process especially since one of my kid’s has special needs. Ruth, Skip & Tara were always available to answer my questions & concerns and Shannon was able to get me in last minute when I needed a meeting. Ruth has great deal of empathy & compassion for her clients. I was very pleased with the mediated settlement that we were able to reach with my ex especially since it was looking like it was headed to trial. Ruth has an excellent reputation and is well respected in the legal community.

Ruth and Associates are awesome! They were patient and got me through the tough times and equipped me with the tools needed to win! I would highly recommend this team to anyone who needs a custody attorney. Thank you!!

Attorney Ruth Vernier and Associates are the best! They handled our case with professionalism and helped us through a difficult custody case. We were victorious and could not have won without them!

Scam

Ruth and her team are very helpful, understanding, and is there when you need them. I feel, I made a great decision placing my case in their hands.

Working with Ms.Vernier and her staff was an amazing experience the 1st day I came in to meet with them they all stayed late listen to all my concerns and got everything started immediately. They kept me updated on everything that was going on with my case all the way until the very end and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to have on my side during this hard time they were truly amazing I would recommend them to anyone looking for legal help.

When I first met Ruth, I was broken, lost and didn't know of which way to go. My ex husband filed a lawsuit against me wanting full custody. I was extremely fearful and already felt defeated. When I went in for my consultation, I knew IMMEDIATELY Ruth was the answer! Not only was she thorough in explaining my situation (the good, bad and the ugly), she put my mind at ease, that she will fight HARD and will not stop until the job is done. She not only did that, she did much more! Ruth and her whole staff were incredible! Skip, Shannon and Mrs. Audrey were all blessings to me and my girls! It is not everyday where you meet with an Attorney, heartbroken and devastated and a year later you have gained a special friend in your life and you are far better than you ever were before. I cannot say enough great things about Ruth and I am forever grateful! If you are looking for the best representation, look no further, you found it!!
