During his thirty years as a legislative advocate, Mr. Lucchi has helped to shape legislation on behalf of his business and corporate clients that creates or enhances the marketplace for their goods and services.

Relationship: Worked for lawyer
I endorse this lawyer. One of the very best and best-connected lobbyists in Maryland. Particularly strong with Governor O'Malley and the leadership of the MD General Assembly, suburban Maryland localities especially Prince George's County, as well as strong ties in Baltimore.
