About Ronna M.
Ronna M. Woodruff built her legal toolkit on two strands: formal education and early hands-on work in finance. She earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in finance from Georgia State University in 2002 and completed her J.D. at Atlanta's John Marshall Law School in 2005. Those credentials sit alongside decades of practical experience that predate her law degree.
Her career in the legal-financial space began long before law school. She worked as a senior paralegal at Heller Financial, Inc. beginning in 1986, a role that offered sustained exposure to lending and creditor-side processes. In 2000 she joined the Capital Markets Group at Womble Carlyle Sandridge & Rice, where she was involved in matters tied to financial markets and capital transactions. That background complements her academic training in finance.
Woodruff turned to litigation and client work after law school and was admitted to practice in Georgia in 2008. She holds admissions that include the State Bar of Georgia and federal courts, and she is authorized to appear before the Federal Circuit. Early in her post-bar career she worked at Clark & Washington, P.C. in 2009. A year later she became associated with Woodruff Law LLC and began teaching as an adjunct professor at Southern Polytechnic State University in 2010.
Her professional affiliations reflect steady engagement with both civil-law clinics and practitioner groups. She is a member of the Metropolitan Atlanta Consumer Bankruptcy Lawyers Group and has performed pro bono work for Atlanta Legal Aid since 2009. She also maintains ties to Cobb County Legal Aid and belongs to the Georgia Association of Women Lawyers and the American Bar Association. Outside the bar, she has been connected to Quota International, reflecting continuing community involvement.
Woodruff’s experience spans creditor-side capital markets work and hands-on consumer bankruptcy practice. She has combined courtroom admissions, paralegal experience, and transactional exposure to advise and represent clients on matters that commonly arise at the intersection of finance and consumer insolvency. Her teaching role has kept her linked to the next generation of practitioners while her pro bono efforts have kept her close to community needs.
She is currently a member of Woodruff Law LLC and continues to practice in Georgia and before the Federal Circuit, concentrating on consumer bankruptcy and related debtor-creditor issues.
