The landscape of NCAA athletics has changed drastically in the last three years. Opening the door to student athlete compensation, the United State Supreme Court set a landmark precedent in NCAA v. Alston, 594 US 2147 (2021).  This decision opened the door to student athletes being compensated beyond their scholarships and was a historical moment.

DUII

Despite the fact that marijuana is legal in the state, possession of more than a certain amount of cannabis or derivative products is prohibited, and law enforcement has stepped up enforcement of marijuana-related DUIIs (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants). Working with an experienced cannabis lawyer can mean the difference between preserving your freedom and spending time in prison.

Alcohol DUII

While hemp has long been cultivated for its durable fiber, it is also high in cannabidiol (CBD), which has potential medicinal benefits as a pain reliever and anti-inflammatory. Although a variety of CBD-based products are now commercially available, the Oregon Department of Agriculture strictly regulates hemp and CBD compliance. If you are considering a hemp business venture, you can rely on Michael Hughes’ experience as a hemp producer and cannabis lawyer.

Cannabis criminal defense

Despite the fact that marijuana is legal in the state, possession of more than a certain amount of cannabis or derivative products is prohibited, and law enforcement has stepped up enforcement of marijuana-related DUIIs (Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants). Working with an experienced cannabis lawyer can mean the difference between preserving your freedom and spending time in prison.

Criminal defense

Being accused of a crime in Oregon is a serious matter; a conviction can result in fines, imprisonment, and collateral damage to your reputation. When your freedom and your future are on the line, it takes an experienced criminal defense attorney to fight for your rights.

Judicial services

At Hughes Law, we routinely defend clients against marijuana DUII charges and also provide expert opinion and testimony regarding both criminal and civil cases involving cannabis and hemp nationwide. In the event of business disputes, we offer mediation and alternative dispute resolution services to cannabis-based businesses.
