Lynch, Robert T.

Jim Lucie grew up in the small-town community of Augusta, Illinois. 
Staying true to his rural mid-western heritage, Jim has built his law career in west central Illinois.  In 1970, he joined the law practice of U.S. Collins in Bushnell, IL.  Jim later acquired this practice in 1972, and expanded the practice to Macomb, the county seat of McDonough Co., in 1974. 

Jim graduated from Western Illinois University with a degree in Agriculture Economics before going on to receive his M.S. from the University of Missouri (also in Ag. Econ.); after that, he went on to receive his Juris Doctor degree from the University of Illinois.

In addition, Jim is a charter member of the Alpha Tau Chapter of Alpha Gramma Rho fraternity, and an active community leader involved with the Macomb Schools, McDonough County YMCA, and the First Presbyterian Church.
