Steve Baghoomian, Esq.

California Cannabis Licensing Attorney — 15 Years of Practice

I am the attorney behind DCClicensing.com and the principal of Baghoomian Law. My practice is built around one thing California cannabis operators actually need: a lawyer who has filed the application, defended the notice, and sat at the OAH hearing — not someone learning the regulations on your matter.

In fifteen years of practice, my team and I have obtained 104 California cannabis licenses and defended 261 DCC investigations. I file applications that move through the queue the first time. I respond to Notices of Violation in a way that does not invite a Statement of Issues. When a license is on the line, I try the case.

Credentials: State Bar of California No. 278456. Admitted, U.S. District Court, Central District of California. Loyola Law School, J.D. 2009. Based in Glendale, California, serving operators statewide.

How I Work With Clients: My engagements are scoped tightly. Most licensing matters — new annual applications, renewals, ownership changes, premises modifications — run on flat fees so you know the cost before we start. Enforcement defense (Notices of Violation, accusations, Statements of Issues, OAH hearings) is quoted by phase. You speak with me, not a paralegal handing your file to whoever is free that week.
