Sophia Leavitt

Carla explained everything clearly and concisely from the second I called her until my case was closed! She helped me get the best possible outcome in court. Carla was extremely helpful and really made me feel like I wasn’t just another client.

Trustworthy, Intelligent, Professional and Extremely Thorough

Carla is an experienced and knowledgeable attorney who defended me after receiving a speeding citation. She's trustworthy, intelligent, professional and extremely thorough. Carla provided clear detailed explanations of the process, options, and potential outcomes. She guided me through the leg...al system and helped me determine what the best course of action was for my specific case. Carla was easily reachable throughout the whole process and answered any questions that I had. Her involvement in my case displayed her commitment to me and proved that I wasn't simply another number at a large law firm. Carla was able to provide me with the best possible outcome and for that, I'm very thankful. Her experience and knowledge of the legal system was a huge benefit to me.

Excellent Representation

I retained Carla to represent me on a DWI. I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. She walked me through the whole process and made it as easy as possible. She also helped get me a temporary driving permit while my case was pending. I recommend her and her partner Mike to anyone looking for gr...eat representation on a criminal case.

I hired Mrs. Litrenta to help with a speeding ticket. She handled everything! We didn't have to show up and she gave us peace of mind knowing it was all taken care of! She is very knowledgable and explained things to where we understood it! We got the best possible outcome! I highly recommend Mrs. Li...trenta and Litrenta Law Firm to everyone!!! You can't go wrong with her!

Representation in Court

I would definitely recommend Carla Litrenta to anyone searching for a criminal defense attorney. Mrs. Latrenta represented me regarding a ticket that I got. She was very professional and understanding with my situation. Prior to my court date, I met with Mrs. Litrenta and she was clear in explaini...ng how things would progress and made sure that I knew what to expect. Once the time came, the court date was quick and easy. The case went as she said, and I was very pleased with the outcome.

Criminal defense lawyer | Sep 18

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"In the course of my career, I have seen and practiced against a variety of trial attorneys. Carla is by far one of the best! She has tried no less than 50 jury trials and her experience is readily visible as soon as she enters a courtroom. She is calm, collected, and thoroughly prepared to argue the most minute points of law in her cases. I have personally observed her give numerous compelling opening statements, deliver a blistering cross-examinations, and finish with a riveting closing arguments. I can unabashedly say that she is one attorney that I was happy that I never had to face as opposing counsel! When you hire Carla, you have hired a compassionate and zealous advocate that will not quit until she gets the best result."
