Animal Cruelty

Carolyn Wentland, Did a great job for me. She knows her stuff, I would recommend her for any criminal defense cases, My case was long and drawn out, she was reassuring and confident during the whole ordeal. In my Animal cruelty case the state prosecutors pushed & pushed they wanted to impose the m...aximum punishment, she pushed back, to make a long story short, We Won - The case was dismissed. A pair of her clients were in court the same day with me and she has gotten a dismissal, on one case in addition to mine and was working on the third. She will fight & defend you to the best of her ability, and during a emotionally charged and chaotic situation like criminal proceedings, She is definitely someone you want in your corner.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
