Ellie S. Ruth

A Strategic and Compassionate Advocate During a Complex Business Dispute

When our small manufacturing company faced a challenging contract dispute with a much larger supplier, we were referred to Ellie Ruth at Miller Barondess. From our initial consultation in her Los Angeles office, it was clear we were in capable hands. Ellie’s general practice expertise was perfectly suited to our multifaceted case, which involved elements of contract law, potential business torts, and urgent injunctive relief. Despite her relatively recent start at the bar, her strategic thinking was incredibly sharp; she meticulously dissected the agreement's language and our correspondence, building a compelling narrative of bad faith. Her recognition in appellate practice shone through in her exceptional briefing and her ability to anticipate and counter every argument the opposition raised. Ellie managed the litigation with a calm, professional demeanor that kept our stress levels manageable, while her personal investment in our success was always evident. Her advocacy led to a highly favorable settlement that not only resolved the immediate financial threat but also restructured our relationship with the supplier on more equitable terms. We are profoundly grateful for her dedication and highly recommend her to any business navigating legal complexities.
