At Manzuri Law, our California cannabis attorneys have successfully represented many clients who have faced disciplinary actions against their cannabis operations from the Department of Cannabis Control (DCC).
Our industry specialists provide the specialized legal experience and resources necessary to navigate and overcome wide-ranging licensing violations for failing to comply with “any state law,” or “any other grounds contained in regulations adopted by the DCC.”
As most of our clients immediately note, this all-encompassing language can initiate disciplinary actions for essentially any California cannabis licensing issue the DCC considers a violation.
This is why we are here.
For over a decade, we have provided the legal experience, skill, and resources to help our clients properly respond to cannabis industry violations or non-compliance citations in writing, during informal conferences, state administrative hearings, and appeals.
