Ruth has deep experience in many channels of business including software & operating agreements, web service agreements, and can clearly counsel on anything I've ever asked about, while starting my ecommerce market, with vendors and subscribers. Working with Ruth has alleviated a lot of stress and I know she can help write and protect all parties for business and tech ops. Thank you, Ruth!

Ruth is amazing. I reached out to her to help me understand a free-lance corporate contract. As a business owner, and not having worked the corporate world in a while, I turned to Ruth for help. She walked me through the contract and explained my options. She was very approachable, understanding and responsive.

Small Business Startup Advice and Documentation

Ruth was very helpful in assisting us with the development and refining of LLC documents for an important small business opportunity project. Her flat rate payment option provided us with affordable legal counsel without sacrificing quality of service. Ruth is very professional and a joy to work with.

Great Results

I asked Ruth to write me a letter to notify my HOA collections attorney that they were chasing money I had already paid. Ruth turned around the letter in under 24 hrs. I sent the letter into HOA and the matter was resolved in a week !

Ruth helped me with a detailed license agreement. She listened to every detail about the options that were to be included in this agreement. I was also pressed for time to start a project within a week. She put together an agreement within a few days in time for my project to start. I look forward to working with Ruth again on other license agreements.
