PRO BONO CLIENT PROFILE CASA RUBY C A Place to Call Home for D.C.'s LGBTQ Community By Debra Bruno asa Ruby is a bustling place. Visitors are buzzed into a large, open room, entering a space that was once a car dealership, an appliance showroom, and, at one point, even a church. Giant fans push air through the room, as one person rests on a large couch, reading a book, while others chat quietly. Casa Ruby founder Ruby Corado turned to pro bono legal help to set up her nonprofit in 2012. 26 WASHINGTON LAWYER * NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2019 Photos: Patrice Gilbert Photography
