The DeTroy Award

Over the course of his remarkable career, Peter J. DeTroy, III became one of the state’s most accomplished and respected lawyers. A practicing lawyer in Maine from 1972 until his untimely death in 2016, Peter was a founding partner of the law firm Norman Hanson Detroy, LLC and a selfless community leader. He served on a number of committees devoted to ensuring that the practice of law was inclusive, without discrimination, and without unnecessary barriers to young lawyers eager to learn. As a problem-solver, a counselor, and a zealous protector and defender of rights, Peter’s empathy, passion, trustworthiness, integrity, and thoughtfulness were reflected in every case he handled.
