About Marcus
Marcus West earned his J.D. from Concordia University School of Law in 2017 after completing a Bachelor of Arts in Business Finance at the University of Phoenix in 2013. His academic path combined practical business training with legal study. The result was a foundation that prepared him for transactional work and the demands of client counseling.
West moved into private practice following graduation. He joined Peters Patchin & Monaghan as an associate. In that role he has worked on matters that arise in Idaho courts and before state agencies. He handles research, prepares filings, and advises on procedural and substantive questions. Colleagues describe him as methodical in drafting and attentive in courtroom preparation.
He is a current member of the Idaho State Bar and is admitted to practice in Idaho. That membership shapes the work he does day to day. West participates in firm strategy meetings and contributes to case planning. He balances litigation tasks with transactional assignments. He also undertakes client intake and prepares memoranda that inform litigation choices.
People who have worked with West say he applies a clear, steady approach to problem solving. He keeps communications direct. He writes plainly, and he frames legal options so they are easier for clients to weigh. His training in business finance informs how he evaluates damages, risk, and settlement proposals. He also leans on the procedural training from law school when preparing pleadings and discovery.
Outside of courtroom calendars and filing deadlines, West has focused on refining litigation technique and expanding his knowledge of state law developments. He tracks regulatory changes and decisions from Idaho appellate courts that affect his clients. That attention to precedent helps him shape litigation strategies and advise on compliance questions.
He remains at Peters Patchin & Monaghan, where he practices in Idaho and serves clients across the state. His current practice concentrates on representing individuals and businesses in matters brought under Idaho law.
