Barstow City Lawyer, Matthew Summers, Who Helped Implement Cannabis Regs Named As One Of CA’s 40 Under 40 Lawyers

Barstow City Attorney Matthew Summers was named to the prestigious “Top 40 Under 40” of California lawyers by the Daily Journal Corporation, publisher of California’s leading legal trade paper.

Honorees are selected from hundreds of nominees in all legal fields across the state.
