Emerald Law Group

Emerald Law Group is a boutique law firm located in Ukiah, California, specializing in cannabis law, criminal defense, family law, and labor law. With a team of experienced attorneys, we provide comprehensive legal services to clients throughout California, ensuring they navigate the complex legal landscape effectively.

Our founder, E.D. Lerman, has been a patient advocate and licensed attorney in California since 2006. She has represented a diverse clientele, including lawyers, doctors, patients, collectives, cooperatives, and dispensaries, in both civil and criminal courts. E.D. has been instrumental in advising agencies, operators, and individuals on medical cannabis, helping them navigate the ever-changing laws.

At Emerald Law Group, we are committed to guiding and supporting you through any legal challenges that may arise. Our dedicated team of advocates is ready to assist with a broad spectrum of legal matters, including criminal and civil issues, cannabis permits for agricultural ventures, and business initiatives. With expertise and an array of resources at our disposal, we are here to facilitate your success.

We offer expert consultations and representation focusing on federal, state, and local laws related specifically to cannabis regulation, aiming to steer clear of criminal charges. While we prioritize educating clients before any accusations surface, if charges do arise, we vigorously defend their case both inside the courtroom and beyond with strategic measures designed for innocence advocacy.

Our firm stands resolutely against what has evolved into an unjustly rigid penal system, where defendants transition from presumed innocent citizens into stigmatized criminals almost instantaneously upon entering court-a cycle we're determined to disrupt. As passionate defenders guided by fundamental democratic principles-that all individuals are entitled to the presumption of innocence-we fight earnestly for every client's right when facing unfair treatment under the law.
