About Charles G.
Charles G. Wentworth built a steady legal path that began in Utah and led to practice in Illinois. He earned his J.D. from the University of Utah S.J. Quinney College of Law in 2001 after completing a double major in history and mathematics at the University of Utah in 1995. Those years set the groundwork for what became a varied practice spanning private firm work, in-house operations and pro bono involvement.
His early post-law school career included an associate position at Kirkland & Ellis LLP in 2006. He moved into a more operational role in 2009 as Director and Vice President of Operations at McMillan Land Company. By 2010 he was back in private practice as a lawyer at Wentworth Law Offices P.C. Three years later he took on a shareholder role at The Law Office of Lofgren & Wentworth, P.C., where he remains listed as an office shareholder.
Wentworth’s memberships trace the contours of his practice. Since 2010 he has been active in the DuPage County Bar Association, sitting on committees that address appellate practice, civil law, business law and professional responsibility. He has been involved with the National Immigrant Justice Center’s litigation committee since 2007, an affiliation that signals regular work touching on immigration litigation. Earlier, he served on the executive committee of the Council of Appellate Lawyers in the ABA Judicial Division and co-chaired its pro bono committee from 2007 through 2012. He was also listed as Vice-Chair of the Kirkland Immigration Network in 2009.
Those roles suggest a mix of appellate and trial litigation, business disputes and professional responsibility matters in his portfolio. Colleagues and court records indicate he has handled appeals and civil matters and that immigration litigation has been part of his docket for many years. His experience includes both large firm associate work and smaller firm responsibilities, along with a stint in corporate operations that provided a different perspective on client needs and business issues.
He practices in Illinois and brings a combination of appellate experience, civil and business litigation, professional responsibility work and immigration litigation to his current role. He currently practices at The Law Office of Lofgren & Wentworth, P.C., focusing on appellate and civil litigation, business disputes, professional responsibility matters, and immigration litigation.
