Committee narrows interview list to three firms after eliminating Weiss Sirota
Summary
After debate about fees, conflicts and fit, the committee voted 3–2 to remove Weiss Sirota from the interview list and left Davis & Associates, Jones Foster and TG Law as the three firms to be interviewed.
The evaluation committee voted to remove Weiss Sirota from the interview list by a 3–2 vote, with supporters of removal pointing to a high retainer proposal and concerns about possible conflicts or the firm’s ability to align with the town’s needs. Council members who opposed eliminating Weiss cited its deep bench and high qualifications, especially naming Robert Myers as a strong potential lead attorney.
With Sabatini and Neighbors previously eliminated, the committee confirmed the three firms to be invited for interviews: Davis & Associates (top‑ranked), Jones Foster (noted for land‑use strengths), and TG Law (TG Law/TJ Law). The committee directed staff to contact those firms and finalize interview logistics. Several members said price and the structure of a retainer versus hourly billing would be important topics during interviews.
