The firm was started to fight injustice embedded within our legal system and to provide representation to those of us that need it. One of the areas where injustice and legal confusion has grown over the last few years relates to the legalization of medical marijuana in California.

As so few attorneys and judges understand the complications related to cannabis, we have taken on the challenge to protect patients, to educate the public as well as the Courts, and to make sure that every medical marijuana patient has safe access to the cannabis they need.

Scot has been the most helpful lawayer we have spoken with. He explains everything so thoroughly, truthfully, and honestly. He's very transparent with his upfront cost and hourly rate, which I really appreciate. He has a wealth of knowledge and your best interest. This someone that you're definitely going to want on your legal team.

Scott was rarely attentive when working with him. He billed me for multiple miscellaneous charges and produced falsified documents, receipt dated after the bill. He became very abrasive when asked for clarification. I would not trust him with legal help in establishing a business in this emerging market.
