  • All of us at Vaccinate Your Family owe Mike Saxl and his team a debt of gratitude for the support they offered us in dealing with the Maine Ethics Commission. Had Maine Street Solutions not been by our side, I have no doubt that we would have had a very different outcome. We would recommend Maine Street Solutions to anyone looking for support as they navigate government relations in Maine. - AMY PISANI, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, VACCINATE YOUR FAMILY
  • When it comes to quietly navigating the waters of State Government and the rule making process nobody beats the team at Maine Street Solutions. Faced with goals we have been working to achieve throughout Maine and the country for a number of years, the team at Maine Street Solutions efficiently and strategically placed our interests in front of key decision makers and delivered a great result. Now we're working with Maine Street Solutions around national strategies involving our products and looking to make our success in Maine the road map for success around the country. - CHUCK RIEGLE, TOMRA NORTHAMERICA
  • When the Maine State Chamber of Commerce decided to take a leadership role in the tax debate we called on Maine Street Solutions. With their help we crafted a multilateral strategy that integrated electoral politics, model public policy and statehouse know-how. In a few short months, we were able to frame the debate and to create a sense of urgency in legislators. During the first thirty days of the legislature the Governor signed the bill that we supported. We couldn't have been successful without the team at Maine Street Solutions. - DANA CONNORS, MAINE STATE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
  • We have been continually impressed with the Maine Street team. They were unflagging in their efforts to help us secure state funding and we would not have been successful without their support. Sometimes with pro bono arrangements you can feel as if you're being placed on the back burner, but we have never felt that way in our work with Maine Street Solutions. - KRISTEN MIALE, PRESIDENT, GOOD SHEPHERD FOOD BANK???????
  • At Maine Street Solutions, Mike and the team serve everyone from fortune 50 companies to the local statewide food bank. They believe in a multi-lateral strategic approach to problem solving wherein they leave egos aside and focus on achieving positive results for clients. Mike and the team do not believe in silos in government relations. They know that everyone on the team needs to have the right information so they can provide the right message to the right person at the right time. They also know that to broaden the impact of their client's message they need to use all the levers of communication: from direct advocacy to media relations, from grass roots influencing to social media, from legal advocacy to coalition building. Mike and the team know that this integrated, strategic approach brings the best chance of success for clients. AT MSS, Mike and the team are extremely competitive and want their clients to always win.
    Mike and the team frequently work with clients on national strategies using Maine as a test-case to hone messages, tactics, and policy, and then help those clients develop a national strategic approach to implement their strategy. Through that work they have achieved great successes across the country, ranging from expanding access to prescription drugs and healthcare to creating best practices for good government initiatives.
    If an issue touches the public, whether it be government or community relations, crisis communications or procurement, national or local issues, the MSS team has the relationships and skills to advance your interest.
    Mike grew up in Bangor, graduated from Bowdoin College and the University of Maine School of Law, represented the West End of Portland in the Legislature and currently resides in Belgrade with his wife and daughter. When Mike is not on the phone with a client or lawmaker, he can be frequently found walking in the woods near his home with the family dog, Dory.

    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.

    When you hire the lobbying services of our firm, you acquire a partner that becomes familiar with your agenda, and builds a strategy designed to reach your goals. 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).
