Her clients span consumer products, hospitality, medical technology, financial technology, software, and artificial intelligence enabled businesses.
“Ruba is an absolutely incredible partner! While I was the CFO at Reed’s and navigating through various transactions, Ruba was my trusted legal advisor through it all. She is well versed in the capital markets and securities law, and is able to explain it to those that don’t have as deep a knowledge as she does. She was responsive at all hours of the day/night/weekends, and she did it all with an amazing attitude and a side of laughter. It is truly hard to put into words the value that Ruba brings to the table, especially if there is a complex legal situation that needs to be worked through!” — Iris Snyder, CFO, Oliver Winery
“I have known and worked with Ruba for over five years and value her as a trusted partner. She is an excellent securities and contract lawyer. She works tirelessly for her clients and adds tremendous value. She is a great resource and, if she cannot answer a question, she will find the appropriate contact. She has a high degree of ethics and genuinely cares about her clients. She is a true professional that is collaborative, insightful, logical, and has a great sense of humor. I have really enjoyed working with her and highly recommend her services.” — Norm Snyder, CEO, Reed’s, Inc.
“Ruba is the best! She was our attorney for close to 10 years! Quality work, timely & professional. She was involved in multiple acquisitions, capital raises & securities work. Also, 3 successful rights offerings. My honor to recommend her!” — Mike Pruitt, serial corporate founder, CEO, and investor
“I had the pleasure of working closely with Ruba for over 3 years during a particularly complex and critical period for one of my prior employer, and I can’t overstate the value she brought to the table. Her expertise in securities law was instrumental as we navigated the delisting process from NASDAQ and transitioned to the OTC exchange. Throughout, she provided steady, thoughtful counsel and helped us make informed decisions every step of the way. Beyond regulatory matters, Ruba played a key role in guiding us through vendor contracts and resolving disputes, always ensuring our position was protected. What stood out even more was her ability to recognize when an issue was outside her scope and immediately connect us with trusted professionals in her network—something that made a real difference for our team. From SEC filings like the 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and S-1 to identifying and mitigating risk, she consistently demonstrated both technical expertise and a strong understanding of our business needs. She had been a trusted advisor and a true partner, and I highly recommend her to any company navigating complex regulatory or legal landscapes.” — Tom Spisak, CFO, Next Century Spirits
“It is not often that I would describe an attorney as a partner, but Ruba earned my respect. I would be proud to acknowledge her as a trusted partner. With her leadership on all things SEC from Offering documents (S1 and D) to Shareholder info (14A, 424s) to reporting (10K, 10Q), 8K, Forms 3,4, and 5, and all other communications, Ruba’s help and advice was priceless.” — Dan Miles, CPA
“I won’t start another company without Ruba on the board. She has a rare ability to take complicated issues and make them board-level clear–fast. The meetings move because everyone actually understands what we’re voting on (and why), everyone gets comfortable with the understanding she brings, and she keeps us focused on what matters. She also brings a network that opens doors and a mindset that gets things done. In a very tough market, her guidance and persistence were key as we navigated the NASDAQ listing process at one company and continued to bootstrap at another. And when things get noisy, she’s the calm voice who still shows up ready to fight for the company and the team. Serious, steady, and just funny enough to keep everyone sane.” — Rick Bentley, Founder of Cloudastructure
“Ruba has represented my firm or I for the past 20 years. She is a student of the law and always digging deeper and trying to understand the past, the present and how new regulatory changes will affect us. She has graduated to partner over the years, and she is a better attorney than a salesperson. Many attorneys solicit for business but do not practice law. Ruba is the opposite, she practices the law and does not solicit. We have referred her clients and that is how she has built her business, one recruit at a time. I would put Ruba against any big law firm any time.” — Richard Kreger, Chairman & CEO, Moody Capital Solutions, Inc.
