Carla M. Litrenta's Lawyer Endorsements
"I had the pleasure of serving with Carla on the executive board of our local bar association and also served as a juror on one of her cases. Carla is professional and pays great attention to detail, serving her clients well."
"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."
"I worked on a double DUI manslaughter trial with Carla while we were prosecutors in the same office in Florida. Her knowledge of the law, ability to think on her feet and genuine sense of justice were critical to our success. She is an excellent attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer."
