📣 ANNOUNCEMENT: RICHARD MERRILL CONSULTING IS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
With a heavy heart, I am announcing that Richard Merrill Consulting will be closed until further notice due to the significant financial burdens and business disruptions caused by Roccoco Botanicals and the ongoing legal conflict involving Jacine Drummond.
What began as a professional relationship has escalated into a deeply damaging situation. The misinformation and actions taken by Ms. Drummond have resulted in both financial hardship and reputational harm, leaving us unable to continue offering the educational resources, mentorship, and consulting services our community has come to rely on.
We are hopeful that the upcoming hearing with the Washington State Office of Administrative Hearings and the Assistant Attorney General this October will bring clarity and resolution. However, at this time, the future of Richard Merrill Consulting remains uncertain.
To everyone who has supported this journey, thank you. Your encouragement and belief in our mission have meant the world. We hope to return stronger when the time is right.
With appreciation,
Richard Merrill
Founder, Richard Merrill Consulting
