We, at Armada Law Corp, are thrilled to announce and celebrate a significant milestone in our journey — the appointment of James Anthony as our newest Partner Emeritus. James has been an integral part of our California story, shaping the landscape of cannabis law and advocacy with his unparalleled expertise.

A Legacy in Cannabis Law and Advocacy: In 2006, James embarked on a groundbreaking venture by establishing his private law practice, marking the inception of the first-ever California law firm dedicated to civil and land-use matters related to cannabis. His unique combination of experience as the Oakland Deputy City Attorney and fervent commitment to drug-policy activism positioned James as a pioneer in navigating the complexities of the cannabis industry.

Dedication and Impact: James Anthony’s journey has been defined by his unwavering dedication to the cannabis cause. From serving on the Board of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition to crafting numerous successful license applications, James has left an indelible mark on the industry. His influence is aptly captured in the words of Harborside founder and industry luminary Steve DeAngelo, who hails James as a “brilliant strategist and steadfast advocate, without whom Harborside might never have been licensed,” in his book, “The Cannabis Manifesto.”

A Multifaceted Visionary: Beyond his legal prowess, James has actively contributed to the industry’s growth. He has served on the Board of Directors for CCIA – California Cannabis Industry Association, imparted his wisdom as a longstanding faculty member at Oaksterdam University, and shared his unique perspective as a practitioner of zen koan meditation since 1980, occasionally teaching at the Pacific Zen Institute.

A Personal Touch: James Anthony’s life took a transformative turn for the better in 2000 with the birth of his daughter. This personal milestone underscores the depth of his commitment not only to the cannabis cause but also to a vision of a better, more enlightened future.

In Loving Memory of Officer Tuan Le

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Officer Tuan Le, a dedicated public servant, loving husband, and a cherished member of the Oakland community. Officer Le was killed in the line of duty today, December 29, 2023, at 8:44 a.m. Officer Le was surrounded by his wife, mother, and members of his OPD family when he died.

On June 1, 1987, Officer Le was born in Saigon Vietnam, before later moving to Oakland and being naturalized on September 11, 2001.

On February 21, 2020, Officer Le graduated from the 183rd Police Academy, beginning a journey of public service to his community that lasted nearly four years.

For the past two years, Officer Le served as the Community Resource Officer (CRO) in West Oakland, where he devoted himself to strengthening the bond between law enforcement and the residents of Oakland. His tireless efforts in fostering positive relationships made a lasting impact.

Officer Le was a devoted husband to his wife. His passing leaves a void in the law enforcement community, the city of Oakland, and in the hearts of those who knew him. He will be remembered for his kindness, his smile, and the positive change he brought to the lives of those around him. He is a true hero who dedicated his life to making our community safer.

Officer Le is the 54th Oakland Police Officer killed in the line of duty serving the residents of Oakland.
