About Ruth Ann
Ruth Ann Azeredo began her legal path after completing a Juris Doctor at North Carolina Central University School of Law in 1991. Her law school record included participation on the Law Review, involvement in the Women’s Caucus, and service as an honors tutor in torts. Earlier, she earned a Bachelor of Arts from William Smith College in 1983, where she majored in Spanish and minored in studio art. During college she contributed to the literary magazine, volunteered at a local radio station presenting news in Spanish, and translated a play by Jorge Iberguengoitia.
Her bar membership timeline traces back to the early 1990s. She has been associated with the North Carolina State Bar since 1991 and added Maryland admission by 2003. Federal admissions include the U.S. District Court for Colorado and broader federal employee venues, and she is admitted to practice before the 10th and 4th Circuits. Professional affiliations include long-standing memberships in the Maryland State Bar Association (since 2003), the National Employment Lawyers Association (since 2008), and the Anne Arundel County Bar Association, where she remains an active member.
Azeredo established her own practice in 2003 and serves as principal of the Law Office of Ruth Ann Azeredo LLC. That move followed a decade in which she built courtroom and administrative experience. Running a solo firm has required handling litigation, administrative claims, and client counseling. Her practice has dealt with matters that cross state and federal lines, reflecting the variety of jurisdictions where she holds admission.
Her work often intersects employment law and federal personnel matters. She represents clients in statutory claims and administrative proceedings, and she brings courtroom experience in federal district and appellate venues. Colleagues note that her background in Spanish-language studies and early translating work have informed communication in cases involving Spanish-speaking clients.
Outside the office, Azeredo has maintained steady involvement in professional organizations. She has been listed as a member of county and state bar groups for many years and joined the National Employment Lawyers Association in 2008. Those memberships provide a forum for case law updates and continuing legal education.
She currently practices at the Law Office of Ruth Ann Azeredo LLC. Her practice concentrates on employment law and federal employee matters.
