Welcome to The Patton Law Firm’s website!  Thank you for visiting.  Since 2016, my law practice has been dedicated to the cannabis and hemp industries.  Prior to that, I did appellate litigation and administrative law (i.e., regulatory law, government relations).  I also defended Big Tobacco for a few years.  

In 2013, my son was diagnosed with epilepsy. He didn’t respond to medications and was not a candidate for surgery. During that first year, he had over 500 seizures. His neurologist thought that he was going to die. In the midst of this ordeal, I discovered cannabidiol (CBD). So, I came to the cannabis industry as a pro-medical marijuana advocate. This advocacy has remained a core value of my law practice and entrepreneurship. I also litigated perhaps the first medical marijuana case in Ohio history. See State v. Hutchings, 2014-Ohio-4675 (Ohio Court of Appeals (8th Dist.) 2014).
