Since the legalization of cannabis in Colorado and Washington in 2012, I have represented many cannabis businesses of all types. My extensive experience includes managing high-value mergers and acquisitions, collaborating with cannabis business brokers, and facilitating numerous transactions across various sectors of the cannabis industry such as storefronts, delivery services, cultivation, and manufacturing. My team and I are proficient in conducting due diligence investigations and drafting the necessary documents to ensure that all parties involved meet regulatory compliance and that transactions are completed smoothly. Operating from San Diego, I regularly manage cannabis business transactions throughout California and work with both domestic and international investment groups from Canada, Europe, and other regions. My firm has built a strong reputation for providing reliable legal guidance in the fast-evolving cannabis industry, with a particular focus on cannabis licensing, regulatory compliance, and transactional law.

I have also served as a Judge Pro Tem for the San Diego Superior Court and have extensive experience in both litigation and mediation.
