Federal experience. Illinois focus.
Marc Trent is the Managing Partner of Trent Law Firm, P.C., a Chicago-based litigation practice focused on personal injury and workers' compensation. He is admitted to practice in the State of Illinois, the Northern District of Illinois, and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, where he has argued before the court in complex federal matters.
Mr. Trent's litigation career encompasses some of the most demanding areas of federal practice. He has litigated civil RICO matters in federal district court, handled Big Tech platform liability and Section 230 disputes, appeared pro hac vice in Delaware Chancery Court, and conducted matters spanning multiple countries and jurisdictions. His work has been covered by Fox News, The Washington Post, NBC, Business Insider, Newsweek, El País, Berliner Zeitung, and other international outlets.
Among Mr. Trent's notable matters is the successful civil settlement of a matter involving the Chicago Bears, one of the most prominent sports franchises in the country, which required sustained strategic litigation against substantial institutional defense resources.
Mr. Trent's decision to concentrate Trent Law Firm's practice on personal injury and workers' compensation reflects a deliberate judgment that injured people in Illinois deserve the highest level of federal litigation skill applied to their cases. The documentation standards, strategic anticipation, and trial credibility that federal practice develops translate directly to better outcomes for injury clients.
