ABOUT

Successfully navigating the legal cannabis industry takes endurance and street smarts. How you plan is always important; but how you respond to the ever shifting cannabis landscape is everything.  

 

I’m an established business attorney – but I’ve also cofounded and operated two of California’s well-known cannabis companies. I have not just counseled cannabis clients, I’ve been that client, navigating the turbulence of this emerging market. 

 

Few “experts” or attorneys can offer that unique combination and intimate perspective. My clients have come to depend on me as not just a lawyer, but as an important part of their team.
