RIDGEWOOD — A man who told police in April that he was an attorney for “Real Housewives of New Jersey” stars Jacqueline and Christopher Laurita will now be looking for his own legal representation.
Mark J. McGuire, 53, of Franklin Lakes, was arrested last week and charged with a single count of unauthorized practice of law.
McGuire spent more than 45 minutes with the Lauritas as they were interviewed by police in April, following their involvement in a fracas at the grand opening of a salon in Ridgewood.
McGuire was with the couple as they left Ridgewood Village Hall following their meeting with detectives. All three entered a black Mercedes Benz with tinted windows and drove off.
A press release from the department claims detectives, as they were concluding their investigation into the assault last week, discovered that McGuire had falsely represented himself as a lawyer.
McGuire was released on his own recognizance. His first court appearance has not been scheduled yet.
I wonder if this is the same mark McGuire who owned the deli at spring and van dien and also bought marras restaurant on broad st?
You’re referring to Joe McGuire. No relation, apparently.
yes, {Mark McGuire} is the former business owner
These worms operate under the philosophy that any publicity is good publicity.
This Classic. Mark is one strange character.
PJ you should set up a petition banning the Jersey House wives from Ridgewood
