About Ruby Carrera

Ruby Carrera is a dedicated Associate Attorney specializing in employment law, with two years of experience advocating for fair treatment and justice within the legal system. Ruby holds a bachelor's degree in communications from the University of California, Davis , and earned her Juris Doctor from Santa Clara University School of Law in 2020 , along with a certificate in Public Interest and Social Justice Law. Ruby's commitment to justice is exemplified by her work as a clinical student with the Northern California Innocence Project, where she drafted legal arguments that contributed to the release of wrongfully convicted Kevin Harper in January 2022. This experience reinforced her dedication to fair and equitable legal representation, reminding her of the vital role of advocacy in correcting injustices. As a member of the California Employment Lawyers Association (CELA), Ruby actively engages with fellow legal professionals to remain informed on emerging issues in employment law.

Inspired by her experiences growing up in a Latino community, Ruby entered the legal profession to help individuals who often lack access to legal resources or face systemic barriers to justice. Her professional philosophy, "Everyone deserves to be treated fairly within the legal system," reflects her commitment to empowering clients through knowledge and representation. "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
