My Story
“Time to Serve”
My twenty-four year career has provided sufficient time to learn, time to counsel, time to litigate, and time to fully appreciate the role of a judge in our judicial process. Now is my time to serve.
After twenty-four years counseling clients and litigating their cases, Attorney Trenton M. Stupak is seeking to be elected the next Delta County District Court Judge.
The current Delta County District Court Judge is the Honorable Steven C. Parks. After first serving twelve years as Prosecuting Attorney, Judge Parks went on to serve two terms as District Court Judge. During his time on the bench, he implemented the first Sobriety Court in Delta County. If elected, Stupak is firmly committed to putting in the work to continue the success of Judge Parks’s Sobriety Court.
“He has extensive trial experience, and in my dealings with Trent, I found him to be always well prepared, knowledgeable and respectful to my clients and me.”
“Trent has the legal knowledge, the experience, and the common sense to make the difficult decisions that are required of a district court judge.”
“I have no doubt he will make an excellent judge, and he has my unqualified endorsement for this position.”
“His court approach is measured and smart, and his ability to think on his feet very impressive. Furthermore, is listening skills and strong sense of fairness will make him an excellent judge.”
“Trent Stupak has the necessary experience, which coupled with his legal knowledge, his good judgement, his integrity, and his work ethic, will make him an excellent judge.”
