Allegany County Attorney 1998-2008
From Allegany County Chairman W. Brooke Harris,
Allegany County mourns the loss of former County Attorney Daniel Guiney and wishes to express sincere condolences to the family and friends of Dan. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dan’s wife Joan and the Guiney family.
Dan started his career in Allegany County in 1978 when he was appointed as Assistant County Attorney. He was appointed as a part-time Social Services Attorney effective January 1,1983, and appointed as full-time Social Services Attorney effective July 1, 1984. Dan served in that position until he was appointed 1st Assistant County Attorney on January 1, 1991. Dan was then appointed County Attorney effective December 31, 1998, and served in that position until he retired on January 4, 2008. During Dan’s 30 years of dedicated service to Allegany County, he was mentor, friend, and confidant to so many, and he provided the Legislative Board with sound legal advice and representation.
Dan was a beloved family man, engaged in many community organizations, and public servant. He stands out as a role model that we can all look to for inspiration. Allegany County has lost a great friend and community member with the passing of Dan Guiney.
