Biography
Driven by a passion for helping families find clear solutions during challenging times, Chase Pembroke brings a blend of legal acumen, practical experience, and genuine empathy to his role as an attorney with Vernier & Associates. From preparing legal pleadings and drafting memoranda to guiding clients step-by-step through Texas family law legal procedures, Chase prioritizes client well-being and results-focused representation.
Chase’s path to family law began at the University of Houston Law Center, where he immersed himself in competitive mock trials, moot court tournaments, and negotiation competitions. These experiences sharpened his advocacy skills, molded him into a persuasive litigator, and cultivated his talent for effectively negotiating high-stakes disputes. Before joining Vernier & Associates, Chase worked in various legal fields, tackling a broad spectrum of litigation – from probating wills to contractual disputes. While he cultivated a wide-ranging litigation background, his true calling has always been family law. He now dedicates his time to the important issues families face every day in and outside of the court room, helping Texans navigate critical life transitions with confidence and clarity.
Chase’s undergraduate education in both psychology and business administration at The University of Texas at San Antonio helped shape his appreciation for the human factors at the core of every legal matter. At Vernier & Associates, we know that no two people are alike, and that every relationship is unique. We understand that even the strongest legal strategy must be girded with a keen understanding of the unique personal circumstances underlying each family law case.
At Vernier & Associates, Chase’s mission is simple: to advocate tirelessly for the well-being of his clients and their families.
