Richard McGuire
Mr. McGuire is an associate at the firm, and oversees the firm’s
civil litigation practice. Admitted to the bar in May, 2012, Mr. McGuire
spent the first nine-and-a-half-years of his practice representing clients
almost exclusively in bankruptcy law and litigation matters, appearing
as both debtor’s and creditor’s counsel, in all aspects of
chapter 7, 13, and 11 prosecution. Including Adversarial Representation.
He did this representation as a sole-attorney in his own firm, as well
as retained counsel for other lawfirms.
It was in this representation that he gained a deep and “outside-the-box”
understanding of civil litigation, as he was frequently called upon to
take cases which other attorneys were not willing to take. These involved
frequent issues in civil court, family, and criminal law cases where he
was able to use the bankruptcy code to effectuate solutions which, at
the inception of the case, seemed impossible. His approach to the cases,
as well, set him apart, as he always strives to be a force to bring parties
together in resolution, rather than apart in adversity. This combination
of skill and creativity in litigation, as well striving to “just
solve the problem,” makes him the perfect addition to the firm to
oversee its civil litigation practice.
Mr. McGuire’s unique history extends to his education, as well. He
obtained his Associate’s Degree in Business Management form Moorpark
Community College. After which he went straight to law school. obtaining
his J.D. from Ventura College of Law, a small law school in Ventura, California.
Whatever free time he has is taken up spending time with his wife and
daughter, or playing and teaching trading card games at his local game store. |
