Atty. MK Campbell represented me on Charges of a DWI, DWLS, Poss of Cocaine, Poss of Controlled Substance and Poss of Paraphernalia. Also, 2 felony violations of probation. I feel SO absolutely GRATEFUL to MK! From day one, she was straightforward and transparent with me. She explained thoroughly ,everything I needed to know in regards to my case and it's options to resolve. I feel as though MK genuinely cared about me doing what was very best for me and my life. She got me the results I was looking for..which ended up being, 210 days time served -no probation!! Phenomenal work! I'm so thankful to have had Atty MK Campbell to represent me! She's definitely has earned my 5 star rating- I'd hire her again any day!

I am profoundly grateful for the outstanding legal representation I received from Lee Pearlman, at Denmon Pearlman Law Firm. From our very first meeting, it was clear that I was in the hands of a true professional. Lee took the time to thoroughly understand my case, providing not only expert legal advice but also a sense of reassurance and support that was invaluable during a challenging time. Throughout the entire process, Lee's dedication and tenacity were evident. He approached every aspect of my case with meticulous attention to detail, leaving no stone unturned in his pursuit of justice on my behalf. His ability to communicate complex legal matters in an understandable way, combined with his compassionate approach, made me feel confident and well-informed at every stage. The successful outcome of my case is a direct result of Lee's hard work and relentless advocacy. I cannot express enough how much I appreciate his efforts and the exceptional level of service I received from the entire team at Denmon Pearlman Law Firm. I highly recommend Lee Pearlman, and the firm to anyone in need of legal representation—they truly go above and beyond for their clients. Lee Pearlman, is truly amazing!!!

Mack was an amazing attorney, always got things done quick and sufficiently with my case. He got me off in 6 months for my charge with the DWI program along with my husband as well for a different charge. Just do what you need to do and don't mess up, but even if you do he has your back 100% until the end! I have recommended him to family/friends in the past during my case and recommend him to anyone who needs a trustworthy attorney!

Dalton Law firm saved my life. I didn't know what to think when I was accused of things I thought unimaginable. But Nicole and her team stuck with me to the end and never let me feel alone. She never treated me different and was always kind and sweet to my wife and kids. She was understanding and defended me to the end in an broken legal system. And brought hope and positive results to a case that seemed unwinnable. For that she will always be my goto for help and legal advice when things look dark. My family and i are rebuilding our life since being represented by her firm. Hope and a bright future has become achievable. The legal system is flawed and warped. Sometimes carelessness is all that is required to fall victim to it, when this happens you really want someone with knowledge and perseverance to represent you. Daltons team believed in me and my innocence and never gave up on that belief. Which is why I am able to write this review for you all today. Don't give up, I recommend you give them a call if you need help.

From the very beginning, Doug demonstrated a deep understanding of the legal process and a genuine commitment to my well-being. He kept me informed at every step, answered all my questions promptly, and provided clear, practical advice. Doug's tenacity and dedication were evident as he navigated the complexities of my case, ensuring that I received the compensation I deserved. His expertise and strategic approach resulted in a favorable settlement, and I couldn't be more grateful for his hard work. If you're looking for a lawyer who truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to fight for justice, I highly recommend Doug Rothschild.

I was arrested for DUI in Kirkland, and it was my 2nd DUI arrest in less than 7 years. The seriousness of a second offense is greatly increased over a 1st offense, the mandatory penalties, the monetary fines, mandatory jail time (Minimum 30 days). I am a professional, a father of 3 young children, small business owner with employees who also depend on me. Very unnerving to consider how spending 30 days in jail would affect me and those that depend on me, not to mention the very significant monetary costs, driving restrictions, home monitoring, etc. I did a lot of research, and interviewed 3 attorneys to represent me in this DUI case. All 3 were very highly rated, with very positive reviews. I was impressed by all of them. I chose Bill Kirk to represent me based on his analysis of the circumstances of my case, the aggressive strategies he proposed to attack the case against me, his great familiarity with the Kirkland Municipal Court system and it's prosecutors and judges, and just the overall impression I got from meeting with him. He was clearly very intelligent, knowledgeable, experienced, and competent, as well as being warm and empathetic. He was very easy to talk to, took the time to explain all my options, outlined all the steps that I needed to take. He was not the least expensive of the 3 attorneys I interviewed, but he inspired the most confidence, and ultimately I decided that Bill Kirk was the attorney that I most wanted on MY side in the courtroom. Bill did a wonderful job representing me in the courtroom. He analyzed every detail of evidence, he was exceptionally well prepared for each pretrial hearing, he presented logical and organized arguments against all vulnerabilities in the prosecutors case against me. He was clearly well liked and well respected by all present in the courtroom. Ultimately Bill Kirk was able to get my case dismissed before going to trial. What a GREAT relief that has been for me! Bill and his staff always acted with great professionalism, and also with great sensitivity to how embarrassing and scary this situation is for his clients. I think it would be VERY hard to find any attorney anywhere who would be able to provide a better or more capable defense against a DUI charge. I give my very highest recommendation to William Kirk. Also my sincere gratitude.

I worked with Matt and Ana on a divorce case that was supposed to be quick and straightforward, but the other party made it incredibly challenging, as expected. Despite numerous obstacles, including the other party joining the Army and refusing service multiple times, Ana never gave up. She consistently strategized and found ways to move the process forward. She went above and beyond, even reaching out to JAG officers at the Army base and navigating their bureaucracy. Thanks to her determination and expertise, they successfully resolved the case, leaving everything free and clear. I’m deeply grateful for their hard work and highly recommend them to anyone in need of a reliable and dedicated attorney in Houston.

Mr. Horak offered utmost professionalism and care while having Felony charges against me dismissed. My case was an emotionally exhausting case with too many complexities involved but Mr. Horak strategic thinking helped me achieve a favorable outcome. The paralegal staff was also courteous and prompt in their responses. I am very glad to have Mr. Horak as my attorney.

Belachew law firm took a huge burden off my shoulders. I was injured from a car accident and had to endure the physical and mental stress. On top of that, dealing with insurance companies and legal processes by myself wasn’t easy at all. But then I made the best decision by reaching out to Ruth Belachew, and her team resolved my case. I’ve now fully recovered, back to my normal life, and happy with the settlement we’ve reached. Thank you Ruth.

My husband got into a bit of a pickle and we randomly found Maureen on google searches. We had a consultation call with her and she was up front and honest about her ethics, her pricing and if she thought we had a good case or not. She listened to my husband and then she listened to me and what I had to say. It’s literally been like this the entire transaction between us! She’s compassionate, and caring and will give you options but wants to do what YOU want. She showed and up was a bulldog in court when we thought things were going to go south. She fought for justice and what was fair after waiting over six months for a simple video to be sent over, which still hasn’t been done! She brought to light my husband had to forfeit his right on a speedy trial for the lack of evidence that was produced. Needless to say, if we have ANY issues going forward, we’d hire Maureen over and over and over again. We will recommend her to anyone and everyone.

I wanted to make sure people got a honest review from Ms. Williams since we just resolved my issue. I won’t lie, it was a complicated matter and she was up for the challenge. She stood her ground and even when it seemed the odds were not in our favor and having the judge side with the prosecutor, she fought and wouldn’t let them intimidate her. This sweet and kind lady was a complete opposite the day we went to court and my God, her years of knowledge/experience came to show when she stood her ground and fought for my case. She was able to deliver and was worth having her fighting on our side. Thank you so much!!!!

I am a business owner who uses attorneys from time to time. Jim Lang is the best. He helped me fix a big problem I had at the VMRC on a matter of great importance to me. This was not a simple case so it turned into a 4 year journey. Over that entire time Jim was always smart, tenacious, experienced, a great listener, and (most importantly) caring. A lot of road blocks popped up over the life of my case. Jim figured out a way over, around or through each one. Jim's deep contacts at the agency, and the credibility he has built up over his many years representing clients before the VMRC, turned out to be a resource that was very helpful in getting my case resolved in highly favorable terms. Another thing that I liked about Jim is that he kept me informed all along the way. I always knew exactly what was going on with my case. This attorney is a quality human being who is very good at what he does. Highly recommended!

Here's my story and how Jay came into my life. I came to College Station to celebrate my son's birthday. Not even 24 hours later I found myself sitting in a jail almost 300 miles from home. My charge was assault of a family member. The family member was my fiance. We had gotten into an argument in the car while driving to the bowling alley to Bowl with my son and his family for his birthday. My fiance was shouting at me in the car over a GPS. I had asked him to stop when he didn't I pushed his face away from me and ended up cutting his chin with my ring. Another motorist saw this commotion and called 911 because they thought I was in distress. I was pulled over not even 2 minutes later and was questioned as to what had happened. I told the policeman the plane truth and I was arrested for that. I have never been in trouble in my life never been to jail never nothing more than a speeding ticket but yet here I was 56 years old going to jail for my first time. I could not believe what was happening. It was the worst experience of my life. I spent two days in jail and upon returning back home and returning to my job they somehow found out about the arrest and I was terminated from my employment because of a violation of policy for not reporting my arrest. I had forgotten about that policy that I signed 18 years prior because that's how long I was employed at this place for the state. I knew that I needed a lawyer and I knew that I would have to get this expunged from my record. That's where Jay came in. He was very nice very understanding very sweet and kind. He never made me feel like he was just some lawyer he made me feel like a friend. I appreciated that probably more than he knows. He also set me up on a payment plan that I could pay him out. That helped so much. Teresa his assistant is just a sweet and kind. I loved working with these two. They answered all my questions and gave me the help I needed. Since then and in a very quick manner I should say my case was dismissed it was not even seen by the court and I am in the process now of getting it expunged off my record. All of this is due to Jay and his expertise and connections. I would recommend him to anyone, he is a great attorney and someone you want to have on your side. Jay, I thank you and Teresa for the help you've given me and everything you've done for me. God bless you and your crew. ❤️

I cannot recommend Joseph A. Bondy highly enough. When our small business in NYC faced an unprecedented challenge with the Office of Cannabis Management padlocking our store, Mr. Bondy stepped in and worked tirelessly to get us the results we needed. His compassion and understanding were evident throughout the entire process, and he truly went above and beyond. Even when all hope seemed lost, Mr. Bondy’s dedication and hard work shone through. He communicated effectively and consistently, keeping us informed every step of the way. Thanks to his exceptional skills and commitment, we ultimately won the hearing and had our store reopened. If you're considering hiring an attorney, do not hesitate to choose Mr. Bondy. His expertise and advocacy are unparalleled. I wish him and his family all the best and encourage future clients to trust in his exceptional abilities.

Joseph Bondy is not only an incredibly talented attorney but also a powerful human being. When you get arrested, your life changes forever. Not only yours, but your family’s, your kids, and all the people around you. You don’t know who to trust, and you don’t know where to turn. Joe was there for me, both as an attorney and a friend. The way he was present for me through the entire process was incredible. Joe understands and cares—that, combined with his talent of being an extraordinary criminal defense attorney, makes him a one-of-a-kind lawyer. In the toughest times, Joe made the sunshine. He made it bright for me when I thought darkness was upon me and gave me that light at the end of the tunnel that allowed me to stay strong and be able to fight the fight. I can wholeheartedly recommend Joe Bondy as an attorney, in the hardest of cases. Thank you, Joe. Thank you for everything. Lev Parnas

What a Cannabis Lawyer Can Do for You

A cannabis lawyer specializes in the complex and evolving laws surrounding the cannabis industry. These attorneys assist businesses, entrepreneurs, investors, and individuals with legal matters related to the cultivation, distribution, sale, and use of cannabis. They navigate federal, state, and local regulations to ensure compliance, advise on licensing requirements, help with business formation, and represent clients in legal disputes or criminal charges related to cannabis.

Whether you're starting a cannabis-related business, investing in the industry, or facing legal issues involving cannabis, a cannabis lawyer can provide the legal expertise necessary to protect your interests and ensure compliance with all applicable laws.

When Should I Hire a Cannabis Lawyer?

You should consider hiring a cannabis lawyer in the following situations:

  • Business Formation and Licensing: If you're starting a cannabis business, a lawyer can help you choose the appropriate business structure, draft organizational documents, and navigate the complex licensing process required to operate legally.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Cannabis laws vary widely between states and are subject to frequent changes. A lawyer can help you understand and comply with federal, state, and local regulations, including zoning laws, packaging requirements, and testing protocols.
  • Transactional Matters: For buying or selling a cannabis business, merging with another company, or entering into partnerships, a lawyer can draft and review contracts, conduct due diligence, and ensure the transaction complies with all legal requirements.
  • Real Estate Transactions: Leasing or purchasing property for a cannabis business often involves unique legal challenges. A lawyer can negotiate lease terms, ensure zoning compliance, and address landlord-tenant issues specific to the cannabis industry.
  • Intellectual Property Protection: If you're developing proprietary strains, branding, or technology, a lawyer can help protect your intellectual property through trademarks, patents, and copyrights.
  • Employment Law Compliance: Cannabis businesses must comply with employment laws, including hiring practices, workplace safety, and labor regulations. A lawyer can draft employment contracts and advise on compliance.
  • Legal Defense: If you're facing criminal charges related to cannabis possession, cultivation, or distribution, a lawyer can defend your rights and advocate on your behalf in court.
  • Dispute Resolution: For any legal disputes with partners, competitors, or regulatory agencies, a lawyer can represent your interests in negotiations, mediation, or litigation.

Hiring a cannabis lawyer early can help prevent legal issues and ensure that your business operates smoothly within the legal framework.

What Does a Cannabis Lawyer Do?

A cannabis lawyer provides a range of legal services tailored to the unique needs of the cannabis industry:

  • Regulatory Guidance: Advises clients on federal, state, and local laws governing cannabis, helping them understand the legal landscape and avoid violations.
  • Licensing Assistance: Guides clients through the complex licensing process, preparing applications, and ensuring all regulatory requirements are met.
  • Business Formation and Compliance: Assists with forming the appropriate business entity (e.g., LLC, corporation), drafting operating agreements, and implementing compliance programs.
  • Contract Drafting and Review: Prepares and reviews contracts such as partnership agreements, supply contracts, distribution agreements, and purchase agreements to protect clients' interests.
  • Real Estate and Land Use: Negotiates leases, assists with property purchases, and ensures compliance with zoning laws and land-use regulations specific to cannabis operations.
  • Intellectual Property Protection: Helps clients secure trademarks, patents, and copyrights to protect their brands, products, and innovations.
  • Employment Law Compliance: Advises on hiring practices, employee policies, wage and hour laws, and workplace safety regulations.
  • Litigation and Dispute Resolution: Represents clients in legal disputes, including regulatory enforcement actions, contract disputes, and intellectual property litigation.
  • Criminal Defense: Defends individuals and businesses facing criminal charges related to cannabis, such as possession, distribution, or cultivation offenses.
  • Policy Advocacy: Engages with policymakers and regulatory agencies on behalf of clients to influence legislation and regulations affecting the cannabis industry.

How Are Cannabis Lawyers Paid?

Cannabis lawyers typically charge for their services in one of the following ways:

  • Hourly Rate: Charging an hourly fee for the time spent working on your case or project. Rates can range from $250 to $700 or more per hour, depending on the lawyer's experience and location.
  • Flat Fee: For specific services like licensing applications, business formation, or contract drafting, some lawyers offer a flat fee, providing cost predictability.
  • Retainer Fee: An upfront payment against which the lawyer bills their hourly rate. The retainer may need to be replenished as work progresses.
  • Monthly Retainer: For ongoing legal services, especially for businesses requiring continuous legal support, a lawyer may charge a monthly retainer fee.
  • Contingency Fee: Less common in cannabis law but may be used in litigation cases where the lawyer receives a percentage of any monetary recovery.
  • Payment Plans: Some lawyers offer payment arrangements to make their services more affordable over time.

It's important to discuss payment structures and fees during your initial consultation to understand the financial commitment involved.

How Much Does a Cannabis Lawyer Cost?

The cost of hiring a cannabis lawyer varies based on several factors:

  • Hourly Rates: Typically range from $250 to $700 or more per hour. More experienced lawyers or those in large metropolitan areas may charge higher rates.
  • Flat Fees: May range from:
    • $2,000 to $5,000 for business formation and basic compliance.
    • $5,000 to $15,000 for licensing applications, depending on complexity.
    • $1,000 to $3,000 for drafting standard contracts.
  • Retainer Fees: Initial retainers can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more, depending on the anticipated workload and scope of services.
  • Litigation Costs: If involved in litigation or criminal defense, total costs can vary widely, potentially exceeding $20,000 or more, depending on the case's complexity and duration.

Additional costs may include:

  • Government Filing Fees: Costs for license applications, permits, and registrations.
  • Administrative Expenses: Charges for document preparation, copying, postage, and other administrative tasks.
  • Expert Fees: Costs for consultants or expert witnesses, if needed.

Always request a detailed fee agreement and discuss all potential costs upfront to avoid unexpected expenses.

Top Questions to Ask a Cannabis Lawyer

  1. What experience do you have in cannabis law?
    Ensure the lawyer has a strong background in cannabis-related legal matters and is familiar with the specific regulations in your state.
  2. How do you charge for your services, and what are the estimated costs?
    Understand the fee structure, including hourly rates, flat fees, retainers, and any additional expenses.
  3. What services can you provide for my specific needs?
    Clarify whether the lawyer can assist with licensing, compliance, contracts, litigation, or other areas relevant to your situation.
  4. How familiar are you with local and state regulations affecting the cannabis industry?
    Confirm that the lawyer is up-to-date with the latest laws and regulations in your area.
  5. Can you help with federal law considerations?
    Discuss how the lawyer navigates the conflicts between state and federal laws regarding cannabis.
  6. What potential legal challenges should I be aware of?
    Ask about common legal issues in the cannabis industry and how they might impact you.
  7. Do you have experience working with regulatory agencies?
    Experience interacting with agencies can be beneficial for licensing and compliance matters.
  8. Can you assist with intellectual property protection?
    If you need trademarks, patents, or copyrights, ensure the lawyer can handle these areas.

How to Check the Credibility of a Cannabis Lawyer

  • Verify Their License: Ensure the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state's bar association.
  • Experience and Specialization: Look for a lawyer who specializes in cannabis law and has a proven track record in the industry.
  • Client Reviews and Testimonials: Research online reviews or ask for references to learn about other clients' experiences.
  • Professional Memberships: Membership in organizations like the National Cannabis Bar Association (NCBA) or state-specific cannabis industry associations indicates a focus on this area of law.
  • Disciplinary Record: Check for any past disciplinary actions or complaints filed against the lawyer.
  • Publications and Speaking Engagements: Lawyers who publish articles or speak at conferences on cannabis law demonstrate expertise and engagement with industry developments.

What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?

To make the most of your initial meeting with a cannabis lawyer, bring the following:

  • Business Plan: A detailed description of your business concept, including objectives, target market, and operational plans.
  • Licensing Information: Any materials related to licensing applications you've started or questions about the process.
  • Financial Documents: Information about your budget, funding sources, and financial projections.
  • Existing Legal Documents: Any contracts, agreements, leases, or organizational documents you've already prepared or signed.
  • Regulatory Correspondence: Communications with regulatory agencies or local authorities.
  • Questions and Concerns: Prepare a list of questions about licensing, compliance, legal risks, and how the lawyer can assist you.
  • Stakeholder Information: Details about business partners, investors, or key personnel involved in your venture.

By being thoroughly prepared, you enable the lawyer to assess your situation effectively and provide tailored legal advice to support your cannabis-related endeavors.
