Ruby is the ultimate client advocate, counseling clients throughout the duration of the litigation and meticulously crafting the narrative in preparation for trial.

Ruby has previously served as a law clerk for the Honorable Tanya S. Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and the Honorable LaShann DeArcy Hall of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York.

She earned her B.A. in Psychology from Stanford University where she became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and served as captain of the cheerleading team.
