Regionalization … Snakes in the Grass

I’m not a lawyer. I’m not a feminist.  But I am a woman and I work with an awful lot of lawyers in one of my volunteer positions that I participate in several days a week.

Yet I have never been so dismayed, so surprised, and so disappointed when I learned what the Machado Law Group appears to have done.

I have never heard or seen a lawyer who did not identify himself when talking about a case in which their firm is directly involved. I have never seen or heard of a lawyer directly involved in a case who would seek to get answers about things the opposing side is doing, thinking, saying or planning without identifying himself as a lawyer from the firm representing the ‘opposition.”

But I saw this with the Machado Law Group of Springfield. I saw it in the person of Christine McGee. Indeed, that is who this person who reached out to me is. There is a Christine McGee listed with the firm. That I saw on their website. But no where did I see, from posted minutes of Oceanport board meetings to websites from either  the board or the law group, that this is the firm representing Oceanport.

How perfectly shameful. How devastatingly unethical. How cheap, low, and so beneath a professional.

And for feminists who have fought so hard, continue to fight so hard, and have made great achievements, what a tragic setback to their cause and goals to show how brilliant, capable, upright, educated and ready women are in the 21^st century.

Christine McGee as a member of the Machado Law Group of Springfield, has done her profession, her sex, the Oceanport Board of Education, all of Sea Bright, Highlands and Atlantic Highlands, a terrible injustice.

I’ve seen released prisoners with higher standards of morals and integrity.
