After nearly three years of representing Mendocino County—advising on regulatory compliance, land use, cannabis policy, and broader public law matters—I’m excited to relaunch the Schwass Law Firm with a renewed perspective and deeper insight into government operations. This unique experience, along with my private sector background, allows me to guide clients through California’s complex regulatory and corporate landscape with clarity and precision.

Before my public service, I served as lead California regulatory counsel at an Am Law 100 firm, where I advised on some of the largest cannabis-related mergers and acquisitions in the country. I’ve worked with companies of all sizes—from startups to public, multi-state operators—including Trulieve, PharmaCann, and Curaleaf—helping them navigate licensing, compliance, supply chain transactions, corporate governance, and strategic growth initiatives.

The Schwass Law Firm acts as outside general counsel to businesses across California. Whether you’re launching, scaling, or preparing for acquisition, you’ll have direct access to experienced legal counsel who understands your industry and the regulatory challenges you face.

To make legal services more accessible and predictable, I offer flexible fee structures, including flat fees and monthly retainers, so you can focus on building your business without worrying about unexpected legal costs.
