About Trent West
I have two law offices in Montgomery County, Illinois - Litchfield and Nokomis. But I also represent clients in the counties surrounding Montgomery County, including Macoupin, Bond, Fayette, Shelby, Christian, and Madison County. I have practiced criminal law for as long as I have been an attorney. I started out representing those charged with a DUI and then became a prosecutor for a couple years. During that time, I was able to learn the ins and outs of DUI law from both sides. Since leaving the prosecutor's office in 2015, I have returned to defending clients that have been charged with a DUI and other related traffic citations. Please contact me for more information and to discuss your case. I am here to help.
