Tom Dean has been using his law practice to advocate for nationwide cannabis policy reform for over 20 years. After honing his courtroom litigation skills for several years in Ohio and Arizona, Tom accepted the position of Legal Director for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) and relocated to the organization’s headquarters in Washington, DC. As NORML’s Legal Director, Tom initiated and managed many matters of national importance to cannabis policy reform. He also coordinated the efforts of the NORML Legal Committee and NORML Amicus Committee in key cases throughout the U.S. He continues to serve as a lifetime member of the NORML Legal Committee, Chairman of the NORML Amicus Committee, and Legal Director of NORML’s Arizona state chapter. In 2016 NORML honored his 20 years of achievements by inducting Tom into the organization’s Distinguished Counsel’s Circle. Tom is also active in other important cannabis organizations on both a local and National level. Of note, he is a founding member of both the National Cannabis Bar Association (NCBA) and the Arizona Cannabis Bar Association (ACBA), organizations that seek to help other lawyers develop and understanding of the many unique aspects of cannabis business law and other emerging cannabis related areas of practice. In recognition of his work in cannabis law in Arizona, in 2016 Tom received the President’s Commendation award from the Arizona Attorneys for Criminal Justice (AACJ). Outside of the courtroom, Tom enjoys presenting at legal and business seminars and conferences around the country.

As a person with prior felonies and previous weed strikes, I knew I had to hire an attorney when I got charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Having Tom Dean represent me was one of the best decisions I have ever made as I was facing serious charges. My consultation via phone felt more like old friends conversing.

Despite my re...
"Tom is one of the best lawyers I know. He is one of the few I would have represent me. Nobody knows more about marijuana law, and nobody is more aggressive. He thinks outside of the box and really cares about his clients. You would be lucky to have him represent you!"
