The Guilford County contract with Nexsen Pruet for county attorney representation has another bonus: Jonathan Maxwell, the former county attorney who retired in 2006.
Maxwell was succeeded by Sharron Kurtz, who resigned suddenly in December.
Now he works on a contract basis with Nexsen Pruet. From the RFP response in the firm's paperwork for the county:
"Mr. Maxwell has been a valued colleague of the Firm for many years and would be retained on a contract a contract attorney basis if our proposal is accepted in order to supplement the Firm's service to the County with his deep knowledge, experience and connections in the County Attorney area."
Wonder how much impact those couple sentences had in determining which firm would get the county's business?
