Embattled Partner Says Reports of Vacation “Fivesome” are Exaggerated

By Alex Dougherty, Contributing Reporter

BALTIMORE -- Thomas Lindenwold, of the Baltimore firm Lindenwold Garrett & Franklin, has recently refuted allegations made by some of the firm’s junior associates that Lindenwold had a “fivesome” while vacationing in Las Vegas. Lindenwold, a founding partner of the firm, has been in practice for over 35 years and is a husband and father of 3.

He recently went to Las Vegas for the International College of Trial Lawyers of America where he was among those inducted into its class of 2010. Unbeknownst to Lindenwold, two of his junior associates were also in Las Vegas, on an unrelated vacation. They claim to have seen the married Lindenwold return to his suite with no less than 5 girls. Lindenwold, in a firm-wide email, denied the fivesome saying that the allegations we false and that, “there were no more than three, maybe four girls." Lindenwold continued, "[f]ive? Really? Who do you think I am, Charlie Sheen?! And if there were five, so what? I was blackout drunk, but I remember I only had sex with three of them because one or two of the others weren’t 15 yet.” When Lindenwold was reminded by a fellow partner that the age of consent in Nevada was 16, he stood firm by his denial of any wrongdoing and expressed his pleasure with his induction to the College. At the conclusion of his email, the 67 year old partner urged his fellow attorneys to "get off his dick", and to "stop bitching" if they wanted to keep their jobs.

The College honors those trial lawyers who have somehow managed to last more than 20 years doing trial work. Lindenwold describes his job as “rewarding and hard as shit.” The College traditionally chooses exotic locations for its meetings to provide a relief from the stress involved in trial work. In the past 3 years the inductions have been held in Punta Cana, Ibiza, and most recently Amsterdam. Lindenwold recalls (barely) the last induction fondly. “I was there for Rob’s (Robert Garrett) induction and we did mushrooms right before they made it illegal. Absolutely awesome. Did you know they let you put mayo on your fries? Crazy fucking Dutch, they let you do whatever the hell you want.”
