Biography

T. Vincent Quinn was born in Long Island City, New York on March 16, 1903. He attended schools in Queens, graduated from William Cullen Bryant High School, and received his ll.b. degree from Fordham University School of Law in 1924.[1][2]

Quinn practiced in New York City. Active in the Democratic Party, he served as Assistant District Attorney of Queens County from September 1931 to August 1934. From 1934 to 1947 he was an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, and he twice served as Acting U.S. Attorney.[3]

In July 1947 Quinn was appointed an Assistant United States Attorney General, and he served until resigning in August 1948 in order to campaign for Congress.[4][5]

Quinn ran successfully for Queens County District Attorney in 1951 and served from January 1952 until December 1955.[6][7]

In 1953 Quinn and his former law partners were indicted for allegedly enabling Quinn to accept legal fees for advising clients with business before the federal government while Quinn was serving in Congress, and taking steps to conceal this activity. He was an unsuccessful candidate for renomination in 1955. In 1956 Quinn and his associates were acquitted on some charges, and in 1957 the remaining charges were dismissed.[8][9]
