About Ammon

Ammon holds joint JD and MBA degree from Seattle University’s School of Law and Albers School of Business and Economics with a focus in entrepreneurial business law. He is fascinated by the development of cannabis in law and economics and looks forward to navigating the industry for decades to come.

At Seattle University, Ammon’s Nocturnal Brewing team was the Grand Prize Winner of the 17th Annual Harriet Stephenson Business Plan Competition, hosted in 2015 by the Albers Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center. In 2013 he founded the Cannabis Law Society (CLAW), the first cannabis-centered law student association in the US, and served on the boards of the JD/MBA Student Association and Phi Alpha Delta International Law Fraternity.  

When he is not working, you can find Ammon camping, reading poetry, and spending time with his wife and their dog Stubby Charlie.

Fantastic Lawyer!

Posted by

I contacted Mr. Ford with questions regarding restraining orders and bringing my service dog to work where as my job wasn't wanting to let me. While he is located outside of my state, he supplied me with information, lawyers I could reach out to, answered any questions I had, and was extremely helpful in making me feel much better about my situation. I would hire him in a heartbeat if he was closer to me and I suggest anyone who needs a lawyer seek him out immediately!!!

I first knew Ammon personally, but also have been against him on a matter. He's passionate about his area, knowledgeable, and a very good lawyer.

Justin Walsh, Contracts and agreements Attorney on Feb 13, 2019

Ammon's reputation in the cannabis space is excellent. He has worked in the space as a law student, which he carried on once licensed. I rely on his extensive knowledge of Washington cannabis laws and business law in my own litigation practice. He is an excellent attorney and I whole-heartedly endorse him for any of your business or cannabis needs.
