“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.

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
