Andrew, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Alright, let’s jump into one of the most exciting parts of starting a new firm – how did you get your first client who was not a friend or family?

My first clients followed me from a previous job did because of the personalized legal assistance I provided them. They hired me with a handshake on their coastal cannabis farm in Santa Barbara. Earning those first dollars symbolized their trust in me and the start of a rewarding journey built on strong relationships and exceptional personalized service.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

I’m a dedicated cannabis lawyer with a passion for this wild industry. My journey into this field began when a friend was arrested for cannabis possession. His attorney at the time needed his hearing covered. Thankfully, my friend offered up my services and I ended up getting hired shortly after.

I specialize in a range of services, including regulatory compliance and licensing support, tailored to address the unique challenges that my clients encounter in this dynamic space.
