DEARORN, Michigan – The Committee to Elect Tony Guerriero for Dearborn Judge is pleased to announce that Tony Guerriero is a candidate for the position of Dearborn’s 19th District Court Judge this fall.

He is first-generation Italian-American, son of Antonio Guerriero, a Ford Motor Company millwright for 40 years, and Carmella Guerriero, a custodian at Fordson High School.
Tony Guerriero
Guerriero is a proud honors graduate of Fordson High School, holds an associate’s degree from Henry Ford Community College, and a bachelor’s degree from the School of Management at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. He went to night school at Wayne State University while he worked full time for the University as Assistant to the Director of Military and Veteran Affairs, attaining his Juris Doctor degree from the Wayne State Law School in 1979.
Professionally, Guerriero began his law career as a plaintiff’s workers compensation and personal injury attorney. He branched out into municipal and labor law, representing the cities of Westland and Allen Park, among others. As a city attorney, Guerriero served as prosecutor, labor negotiator, civil litigator, zoning and planning advisor, and advisor to the Mayor and City Council. In 1993, he was honored with an appointment as Magistrate of Dearborn’s 19th District Court, where he served for ten years, until he was appointed District Judge in the 24th District Court by the governor.

The greatest honor I could achieve would be to serve the entire Dearborn community as its 19th District Court Judge.
