I would like to thank Hughes Law for their continued help and support in the cannabis industry. They are very well connected and up to date on the ever-changing laws. Michael and his team have help me structure my business from the beginning and it’s nice to know that someone has your back with the legalities of cannabis. Thank you again to Michael Hughes and his team.
Michael Hughes’ passion for cannabis law and production stems from his roots as a farmer. He was raised on a farm in Nebraska where his family cultivated hemp along with its basket of crops. As a young man, he envisioned the day when hemp could be legally harvested and processed into industrial products.
That vision led him to study agricultural law and dedicate his career to changing cannabis and hemp regulations. Mr. Hughes is the founder of the Industrial Hemp Producers association and was one of the first farmers in the nation to produce hemp under the 2014 U.S. Farm Bill. He established Hughes Law to advocate for the wrongly accused and the injured and has earned a reputation as a fierce trial lawyer who fights to win.
Since the 2015 legalization of recreational marijuana in Oregon, cannabis production has transformed from a black market operation into a legitimate industry. Today, growers and dispensaries must be able to navigate complex and at times conflicting local, state and federal rules and laws.
From matters such as land use, zoning, water rights, licensing and building permits to challenges involving banking and taxation, cannabis-based businesses continue to operate in uncharted territory. The best way to protect your rights in this evolving landscape is to consult with a dedicated Oregon cannabis lawyer.
From helping local cannabis growers obtain licenses to consulting hemp cultivators on CBD compliance, from defending clients against marijuana DUII and other criminal charges to counseling entrepreneurs and investors on opportunities in the cannabis industry across the nation, Hughes Law is the informed choice in cannabis law.
For over 20 years, we have provided our clients with aggressive representation when they need it most. When you consult with us, you will have confidence knowing that our experienced cannabis law attorneys are in your corner. Please contact our office today to discuss your case.
