Ruth Masters Email & Phone Number

I am a lawyer with decades of experience handling appeals with millions of dollars at stake and appeals involving questions of first impression, particularly in the areas of labor and employment, civil rights, personal injury, commercial litigation, and criminal law. I also have experience investigating discrimination complaints and responding to administrative agencies. What gets me to work in the morning with a spring in my step? Knowing that at the conclusion of a representation, I have clients who have felt listened to and that someone advocated in a thoughtful and thorough manner on their behalf, whether it was when the stakes were highest during an appeal or when responding to a complaint before an administrative agency. Be it the appellate or investigative process, I pride myself on the ability to see the proverbial forest and identify which trees within it matter to concisely and persuasively argue either in writing or orally for the application, extension, or limitation of existing law.And while some would rather have dental surgery than present oral argument, I thrive on the challenge of maintaining a cool head while answering questions from multiple judges who seek to resolve the case before them while simultaneously considering the precedential impact their decision will have in the future.A natural curiosity for delving into the facts anchors the other aspect of my practice: investigating complaints of wrongdoing, particularly of discrimination, before government agencies. Handling investigations allows me to engage in curious conversations with witnesses, examine all the information gathered as a whole, and guide a client regarding their options for responding.If you would like to learn more, please see below, or please reach out to me directly at rmasters@ruthmasterslaw.com.
