B.A. History, California State University
J.D., University of Akron School of Law
A “lawyer’s lawyer,” who has been chosen by many attorneys to represent them in their own legal matters, Bob Maguire has provided legal services to individuals and businesses for over 30 years. A Tallmadge resident since 1971, Bob has a strong commitment to the city reflected in his many community activities. He and his wife Debbie share their Tallmadge home with a yellow Labrador retriever and a cat. Now out of the house, his two adult sons, both products of the Tallmadge school system, have graced him with four grandchildren. Before starting his legal practice, Bob was a member of the United States Coast Guard Reserve, and still lists boating among his favorite hobbies.
