Terrence J. McGuire -- #172

No Campaign Website

Questionnaire Response: Chicago Tribune

Bar Association Evaluations

The Chicago Bar Association says:

Terrence J. McGuire is “Qualified” for the office of Circuit Court Judge. Mr. McGuire was admitted to practice law in Illinois in 1991 and has been a solo practitioner his entire career. Mr. McGuire concentrates his practice in real estate, estate planning and probate law and served as an Administrative Law Judge for the City of Chicago for 15 years and for Cook County in the Department of Administrative Hearings for three years. Mr. McGuire is well rounded in the law and has had considerable experience as an Administrative Law Judge. Mr. McGuire possesses the requisite legal knowledge and experience to serve as a Circuit Court Judge.

The Chicago Council of Lawyers says:

Terrence J. McGuire was admitted to practice in 1991. He is a solo practitioner focusing on estate planning, probate, and real estate transactions. He is also an administrative law judge in ordinance enforcement proceedings. Mr. McGuire is praised for the work that he does. He is reported to have a good temperament as an administrative law judge and manages the calls well. He handles a variety of cases involving county ordinances and his opinions are praised as being well-founded. The Council is concerned, however, that Mr. McGuire has little litigation experience as a lawyer in more complex matters. He has the potential to be a good Circuit Judge, but the Council finds him Not Qualified for the Circuit Court at this time.
