Judge William T. McGinty: Professional Background and Legal Expertise

Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, Department Courtroom 16-D

Biography

The Hon. William T. McGinty is a judge for the General Division of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas in Ohio. He was elected to the bench on November 6, 2018, filling a vacancy created by the retirement of the Hon. Michael E. Jackson.


Prior to his election, McGinty was a principal at McGinty, Hilow & Spellacy Co. (previously McGinty, Gibbons, Hilow & Spellacy Co.), a firm he joined in 1992. During this time, he also served as Assistant Law Director (2008 to 2016) and Law Director (2016 to 2019) for the City of Fairview Park, sitting as legal counsel to the Board of Zoning Appeals and the Planning & Design Commission.


McGinty earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and politics and government from Ohio Wesleyan University in 1974. He spent the next several years working as an assistant personnel and procurement officer for the Ohio Lottery Commission (1974 to 1976), a temporary alimony and child enforcement officer for the Domestic Relations Court (1976 to 1978), and a bailiff to the Hon. Thomas O. Matia of the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas (1978 to 1980) before completing a J.D. at Cleveland-Marshall College of Law in 1979.


After graduating from law school, McGinty began his legal career as an assistant prosecuting attorney for the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office. He served in that capacity until 1982, at which time he entered into private practice, representing individuals charged with violations of criminal law statutes and serious traffic offenses.


His memberships have included the Board of Trustees of St. Augustine Manor and the Executive Committee of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party.


Born in Cleveland, Ohio, McGinty attended Padua Franciscan High School in Parma. He currently resides in Fairview Park.


He is registered as a Democrat.
