Cannabis Attorney Case

Ryan has helped me with 2 big cases and navigated me through the process in great detail in both. It's one thing to hire an attorney but its another when you truly feel like your attorney has your back. Thanks Ryan for helping and winning my cases. I highly recommend him to everyone anyone out there... who is looking.

Beyond experienced

Ryan is beyond experience on the cannabis industry, I reached out to him when no one could help me with state licensing, within couple of days I had a response from state a month after my retail cannabis license. Anytime I have a question his always available to answer my questions! Thank you Ryan ...

DUI’s in El Dorado County

I was charged under suspicion of DUI’s in El Dorado County , the frequency of the events was close together and they were both accidents. Ryan helped me reach a very fair plea and was considerate and of my budget and very fair.

Cannabis Attorney

Ryan Kocot was beyond amazing to work with. He is an experienced cannabis attorney with a wealth of knowledge about cannabis law and brings a sense of ease and security to stressful situations. Ryan was professional, compassionate, and worked hard to assist my family to navigate an extremely complex ...and difficult case. I would highly recommend him!

Best Criminal Defense Lawyer

Ryan is a great attorney, He took my misdemeanor case and got it lowered into an infraction which lowers my fine also. I was very lucky to have gotton him as my attorney. He stays in contact and helps you all the way until the case is done!

"I have known Ryan for about one year and have had many opportunities to see him both in court and interacting with clients. He is both competent in court and comforting to his many clients. He is a quick study and isn't afraid to set a case for trial. If you are another attorney wondering whether to send him a criminal defense or DUI case referral, he'll make you look like a hero. If you are a potential client you'll be happy you called him."
