The Law Offices of Glenn & West, LLC, is proud to announce a new chapter as we become the Law Offices of West & Ginos, LLC, with the promotion of Attorney Michael Ginos to Partner.

Michael, continuing a family legacy of legal service dating back to 1948, has distinguished himself as a driven, results-focused Attorney, with a proven ability to deliver for his clients. This transition represents more than a name change – it is a renewed commitment to providing premium, high-level legal representation with the dedication and personal attention our clients deserve.

Since joining the firm in 2021, Michael has focused his practice on personal injury, criminal and traffic defense, estate planning, and a variety of civil matters—and he’ll continue serving clients in those areas. Managing Partner Trent West will continue focusing on personal injury, estate planning, bankruptcy, and probate.

Michael Glenn has been retired since 2018, and although his last name will no longer be part of the firm name, we will be forever grateful for his unwavering dedication, mentorship, and the positive difference he made in the lives of our clients and colleagues.

We are excited for what is ahead and grateful to continue serving our community with the same trusted representation - now with a new name and an even stronger future. Please join us in congratulating Michael on his accomplishment!

It was a great morning at the office talking with the Montgomery CEO students!

Today our team visited Glenn & West in Nokomis, where they met with Trent West and learned what it takes to run a focused and effective law practice. With a dedicated team of attorneys and support staff, the firm is intentional about the types of cases they accept so they can provide the highest level of service to their clients. Students also heard about the value of gaining early experience through internships, externships, and building strong relationships with professors while still in college.

Conversation centered on the reality that business is constant problem-solving and how collaboration helps navigate challenges more effectively. Marketing strategies, cost differences across geographic areas, and the growing role of AI in the legal field and beyond were discussed. Trent also emphasized a simple but powerful principle for both business and life: treat people well and be kind to everyone you interact with.

Thank you Trent for hosting our team this morning!
