The Law Offices of Frank D. Boston III was formed more than 18 years ago, and quickly grew to become one of the top lobbying and government relations firms in Baltimore and Maryland. In addition to lobbying, the group specializes in general litigation, ranging from carbon monoxide cases to personal injury lawsuits. Frank is consistently ranked among the top lobbyists in Maryland by the state ethics commission.

The practice has two locations, one in Baltimore and a second in Annapolis. Both of these locales were selected so the lawyers and support personnel could continue to provide boutique services to a wide, and diverse group of clients.

When you hire the Law Offices of Frank D. Boston III, you get more than a master litigator, you immediately benefit from years of experience in the law and lobbying fields. The size of our practice allows each attorney to personally meet with his or her client and fully explain strategy and tactics.

Firm Specialties:
As one of the leading business lobbyists and government relations experts in Maryland, we have worked with clients from backgrounds that range from law enforcement to healthcare to real estate, and beyond. Our client list has enabled us to gain a depth of experience and knowledge that is unmatched by other firms. The services we offer also include procurement lobbying.

We believe in working closely with our clients, and the government relations services we provide are conducted in an ethical, professional manner.

FRANK D. BOSTON, III has more than 22 years experience representing individuals and small and large companies in the Maryland legislature and in courts throughout the state. He received his law degree from the University of Baltimore School of Law, where he was a recipient of the James May Scholarship, the Chief Justice of the law school's honor court, a member of the Moot Court Board, teacher's assistant, and an American Jurisprudence awardee.

Prior to launching his own firm, Mr. Boston served as a law clerk with Whiteford, Taylor, and Preston and with the Felony Trial Division of Baltimore's Office of the Public Defender, and he worked in public affairs and government relations in both Annapolis and Baltimore.

Mr. Boston earned his undergraduate B.S. degree from Bucknell University, where he was not only a four-year varsity letterman in lacrosse and junior varsity basketball, but also a member of the Dean's List and the student his classmates elected to deliver their Senior Commencement Speech. Frank also achieved the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

Before becoming an attorney, Mr. Boston worked for several years as a retail bond trader on Wall Street. During those years, Mr. Boston honed his analytical and quantitative skills as he assembled complex information in a position that demanded that he think and react quickly — all under pressure and with poise. Today those skills serve him well in both the courtroom and the Legislature.

An active member of the community, Mr. Boston has served on the Boards of Directors of The Dyslexia Tutoring Program and the Children's Chorus of Maryland and Learning, Inc. He is a former member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of The Park School, his alma mater, and is currently a member of the Board of Directors of Baltimore's public radio station, WYPR. He is also a board member of the Baltimore Animal Rescue Shelter (BARCS).
