We enjoy the confidence of our clients because we offer intelligent, strategic counsel and common-sense, real-world solutions, without wasted time or effort.

We have earned the respect of our peers because we work harder, think creatively, and, above all, we hate to lose.

Firm Specialties:
At Norman, Hanson & DeTroy we understand that more law is made in the Legislature, the Congress, and through agency rule making than in the courthouse, and that changing the law is often more cost-effective for our clients than litigating current law. Our Government Relations Practice Group represents the firm's clients before the Maine Legislature, the U.S. Congress, and the various state and federal agencies of government. Our extensive experience in Augusta and Washington, D.C. allows us to creatively influence legislative and regulatory processes to ensure that our clients' interests are protected and that their goals are achieved.

Our Government Relations Practice Group lawyers are actively engaged in lobbying the Maine Legislature and the U.S. Congress. We serve as legislative counsel for many Maine businesses, trade associations, and municipalities, as well as Fortune 500 companies, multinational corporations, and national trade associations. In addition, we combine our lobbying expertise with representation of clients in rule making and administrative agency adjudicatory proceedings.

We also have extensive experience representing candidates, political parties and political action committees and provide trusted advice regarding campaign finance issues. In addition, we have expertise in the area of government contract procurement.
