Family law practitioner Carmen Quinones has announced plans to seek the countywide Hyman vacancy in the 2022 Democratic primary. That's a link to Quinones' campaign website in the preceding sentence; a link has also been added to the Sidebar on this site.
Licensed in Illinois since 1989, according to ARDC, Quinones is a solo practitioner from Wilmette. Her campaign biography notes that she used to have her office in the Humboldt Park and Logan Square area. Initially she handled criminal cases before 'gravitating' to a family law practice, including work as a guardian ad litem and child representative. According to her campaign bio, Quinones has served on the Child Representative Steering Committee and has been involved with the Chicago Bar Association Lawyer-to Lawyer mentoring program.
Her campaign bio also notes that, before becoming a lawyer, Quinones did graduate work in psychology, participating in a doctoral program at Maryland State University from 1970-74, and working as a Manager/Supervisor for the Virginia Department of Corrections.
