A native of La Grange, Kentucky, Trenton graduated from Bellarmine University in 2011, majoring in Political Science with a minor in communications. While an undergraduate, Trenton competed as a member of Bellarmine’s nationally recognized mock trial program, where he developed a passion for litigation and trial advocacy. Pursuing this passion, Trenton went on to law school at the University of Louisville’s Brandeis School of Law, where he earned the highest grade in his class for Trial Practice.

Prior to joining Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers as a Louisville personal injury lawyer, Trenton worked for two reputable defense firms, where his practice focused on complex civil litigation including automotive products liability, common carrier defense, asbestos litigation, municipal liability, and medical malpractice. After years of representing large corporations and insurance companies, Trenton enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to join Sam Aguiar Injury Lawyers, where he now advocates to uphold the rights of individuals who have been injured, rather than defend those who have caused harm.

Having returned to live in the town where he grew up, Trenton appreciates the importance of community involvement and takes pride in serving around Oldham County in any way that he can. He also serves on the Board of Directors for Wednesday’s Child, a non-profit that helps connect abused and neglected children to a forever family. In his free time, Trenton is an avid golfer. He also enjoys hunting, fishing, and being outdoors, including walks with his wife and daughter and their dogs: Jack, Emmy, and Bogey. Trenton also loves basketball and is a proud supporter of his Bellarmine Knights and the Indiana Pacers.
