About Patrick D. Goggin: A Trusted Advocate
Earning an Environmental Law Certificate from Lewis and Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, Mr. Goggin was admitted to the California Bar in 1996. Based in San Francisco, he served as co-counsel in the seminal HIA v. DEA cases in the early 2000s. In 2005, Mr. Goggin joined the Board of Directors for Vote Hemp, the leading national advocacy organization for the hemp industry. He then led the industry effort with Senator Mark Leno in 2013 to finally pass California’s Industrial Hemp Farming Act after three vetoes (2005, 2006, and 2011).
Mr. Goggin began working on cannabis regulation in San Francisco in 2005 when the City commenced its regulation of dispensaries. He helped to craft the City’s original and subsequent medical cannabis ordinance language. Since then, Mr. Goggin has represented clients throughout California and the U.S. on regulatory compliance issues, permitting of all facets of cannabis activity, and general business counsel. He served on San Francisco’s Medical Cannabis Task Force from 2010-11.
