Trevor McGuire is Estes Park’s newest lawyer. While he graduated with a juris doctorate from Baylor University School of Law in 2023 and has been licensed in Texas, McGuire was sworn into the Colorado Bar Thursday during the official Oath of Admission ceremony and is now practicing as an associate with Carl Robicheaux at Elkhorn Law.
McGuire, 33, received his undergraduate degree in 2014 from Princeton University. With a major in political science, he worked for the Texas Public Policy Foundation with a focus on higher education policy and funding formulas. He also interned in the U.S. House of Representatives for Congressman Mike Conaway, who represented Texas’s 11th Congressional District from 2005 to 2021.
Like many people who vacation in the Estes Valley, McGuire and his girlfriend, Noel, fell in love with the environs and knew they wanted to live here. The couple even planned their 2022 wedding in Estes Park, with nuptials at Our Lady of the Mountains and a reception at The Stanley Hotel.
The McGuires have two little boys under two and are expecting a little girl who is due to arrive at the end of May. Noel, who also graduated from Baylor, works remotely as an account manager for Oracle, a multinational computer technology company headquartered in Austin, Texas. The couple enjoys outings in Rocky Mountain National Park.
In 2022, while clerking at Elkhorn Law, McGuire served on the 16-member Lodging Tax Exploration Task Force which paved the way for an increased bed-tax that provides approximately $5 million annually in revenue dedicated to create and expand workforce housing and childcare in the Estes Valley.
One thing you are likely to notice when you step into the offices of Elkhorn Law is a southern cadence in the voices of both Robicheaux and McGuire. Robicheaux, a graduate of Loyola Law School in New Orleans, is originally from Louisiana. He moved to Estes and opened Elkhorn Law in 2018. McGuire is a Texan from Lometa, a tiny town of 500 in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.
While the two men will work together, they tease about the interstate rivalry between the Bayou State and the Lone Star State. Robicheaux, who is well known for his annual gumbo fundraiser for the Estes Chamber, has challenged his new associate to step up to do an authentic Texas chili event.
McGuire’s will focus his general civil practice primarily on estate and business planning, probate, and real estate law.
