About Regina A.
Regina A. Nadeau earned her undergraduate degree from Chaminade University in 1983 and returned to New England to complete graduate and law studies at Vermont Law School, where she received both an M.S.L. and her J.D. in 1993. Her academic path combined legal training and broader legal scholarship, preparing her for practice in both state and federal settings. The timeline is straightforward: liberal arts foundation, then professional legal credentials a decade later.
After law school she moved into private practice. By 1996 she was a partner at Normandin, Cheney & O Neil, PLLC. That long tenure has given her steady exposure to the kinds of problems that come across a small firm’s desk: client counseling, document drafting, and courtroom appearances. She is admitted to the New Hampshire bar and also authorized to appear before the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire.
Nadeau maintains memberships in several professional organizations. She is active in the Belknap County Bar Association and belongs to the New Hampshire Bar Association. She is also a member of the New Hampshire Title Association. Those associations provide regular contact with peers and with the developments that shape local practice, from procedural updates to sector-specific trends.
Colleagues describe her approach as pragmatic. She balances casework and transactional matters and places emphasis on clear communication with clients. Her federal admission means she handles matters that can move beyond state court. She has spent decades working in the New Hampshire legal community, and that familiarity with local court practice informs her case management and strategy.
Her role at Normandin, Cheney & O Neil has been consistent. Practicing as a partner since 1996, she has shouldered responsibilities that include supervising files, mentoring junior lawyers and representing clients in a range of legal contexts. The firm’s compact structure has required versatility. She has handled both negotiations and contested matters when a client’s interests demanded it.
As of 2026, she continues at Normandin, Cheney & O Neil, PLLC. Her current practice focuses on matters involving title, real property and cases brought in New Hampshire state courts and in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire.
