Ruth Rounding LLC

Ruth graduated (cum laude) from Harvard Law School in 1976 and not long thereafter moved permanently to Cincinnati. After 30 years practicing estate planning with several major law firms, Ruth established her own firm specializing in that field in July 2006.

Ruth’s clients include individuals needing estate planning, corporate and individual fiduciaries with estate and trust administration issues, and families settling affairs after the death of a loved one.
