Your Wife Needs a Better Legal Team, Matthew
Something I’ve noticed about your wife, Matthew, is that when she points the finger of blame, she never names names. (Mine being the glaring exception, of course.)
If you go back and look at her infrequent public appearances over the last four years, it’s full of amorphous references to “public officials” and “town employees” without any specificity as to whom these blame-worthy people might be. Maybe she thinks she’s doing these people a favor: implying that their conduct is wrong in one breath and absolving them of blame by generously offering not to name them in the next.
Frankly, I don’t get it.
How can anyone learn from their mistakes or be held to account if they’re not spoken to directly?
Well, true to recent form, your wife’s anonymous blaming occurred last night, at the Planning Board meeting.
It seems her “legal team” blew it for her.
You can’t say I didn’t warn you. Six weeks ago, I wrote a post titled :
At that time, I was worried about Quinn Heath whose shifting email address and BBO registration sent up my lawyerly red flags when I read the email exchange between Lawson & Weitzen Atty. Frank (representing Masood Shaikh), the Planning Board (via Maren), your wife’s lawyer (Quinn), and two randos (Tyler and Justin) whose connection to all of this is still a matter of great curiosity.
As is the fact that in the last six weeks, Quinn’s left The Mensing group, and he’s now with that other firm—out in the Berkshires. (I don’t mean to imply for a moment that Quinn’s relocated to Northampton; only that his bar card is now registered there.)
So, Quinn’s gone. But this shouldn’t be a big deal for your wife since she’s had Blake Mensing by her side since the fall of 2019. The guy whose name’s on the business itself. Blake’s the top dog at The Mensing Group, which itself presents like this:
Except, get this:
Blake’s not there anymore, either.
Looks like he followed Quinn.
Again, I don’t mean to imply for a moment that Blake’s packed up and moved to Northampton; only that his bar card is now registered there, which is weird when he’s got a law firm, named after him, on State Street in Boston, which includes this headshot of Blake on the “About Us” page:
So, something’s up with that legal team of your wife’s. She didn’t want to name names.
I do.
TTYS,
