Contact Our Ohio Cannabis Lawyer Today!

When starting a marijuana dispensary business, it is important to know your rights. Sadly, since the cannabis industry is still relatively new, it can be quite tricky to set up a business. For this reason, you should consider seeking legal representation.

At The Meranda Law Firm LTD, we can provide representation for marijuana businesses, growers, doctors, caregivers, and patients. If you own a marijuana business, you can seek legal representation to protect it from federal troubles such as raids, fines, and prosecutions. If you are considering setting up a new marijuana business, our Ohio cannabis attorneys can assist you with the following:

  • Licensing applications, paperwork, and processing
  • Business structure & financing and investment strategies
  • Banking and vendor relationships
  • Landlord-tenant relationships and zoning
  • Government relations
  • Litigation and administrative hearings

Our goal is to ensure your business is 100% compliant with all rules and regulations in the industry. As a result of this emerging industry, there are a number of complex hurdles—particularly at the federal level. We are extensively familiar with local, state, and federal laws, and can help you understand what laws apply to your situation and ensure your business succeeds.

We are relentless in providing our clients with the highest-quality representation possible. If you are wondering how to open a medical cannabis business, contact our Ohio cannabis lawyers today. We have offices located in Columbus and Newark and are available 24/7 to talk.

    “An Attorney That Will Give You His All!”
    Zach is incredibly professional and will work as hard as he can for you, no matter how big or small your case is. He shows genuine concern and interest in his client and the situation. He is straight forward and honest. Zach was the third attorney on my case and the only one that actually took the time to become familiar with my case. He was not intimidated as my previous attorneys were and his competency resulted in my case ending in a very satisfying outcome.

Have Questions?

We Have Answers!
  • Should I be worried if I am innocent?
    The short answer to this question is yes. Our legal system, though endowed with powerful rights and time-tested procedures, is far from perfect. Proclaiming yourself innocent is far from a legal defense, and you will need the assistance of an experienced attorney to gather information and refute evidence. It is a sad fact that innocent people are sometimes convicted of crimes they did not commit. If you have been arrested, a team member from The Meranda Law Firm LTD, serving both Columbus and Newark, can go to immediate work on constructing a strong defense and on seeking to have unfounded charges dropped.
  • What important legal rights am I entitled to?
    If you find yourself crossways with the law, you have important rights that must be protected. First, you have the right to be informed of your rights by police should you be arrested. You have the right to remain silent, which can help you avoid self-incrimination. You also have the right to avoid subjection to an unreasonable search and seizure. Perhaps most importantly is your right to an attorney, and should you face criminal investigation or arrest, you should be in immediate contact with a Columbus criminal defense attorney for knowledgeable and skilled legal counsel.
  • Why should I hire a criminal defense attorney?
    When you are facing a criminal charge, whether a misdemeanor or a felony, your future stands at serious risk. Not only do you face the prospect of jail time, fines, and probation, but if you are convicted you will also carry with you a permanent criminal record that can make such things as obtaining employment, educational opportunities and housing problematic. A lawyer can make sure that your legal rights are well-protected and that a strong defense is mounted on your behalf. Going it alone in the criminal justice system can put you in peril of many unwanted consequences.
