I have practiced criminal law in San Antonio and the surrounding areas for over 20 years. I like what I do. I believe every person deserves a zealous defense. It doesn't matter to me if you are innocent, guilty, or somewhere in between. It is my goal to protect your record and to do my best to keep it as clean as possible. This means that just because you are "guilty" I am still going to hold the State to the high burden of being able to prove your case and I am going to do everything I can to obtain the best result for you. I also will go to trial when necessary. I have handled almost every type of criminal case from traffic tickets up to capital murder and I am very familiar with the Bexar County Courts.
If you have a question on a criminal case feel free to call me or send me a message. There is no commitment for that call and no pressure to hire our office. I will be honest and upfront with you as to my opinion and the fees that are charged. I believe it is important to have an attorney you trust and can communicate with. You can and should call as many attorneys as you feel you need to find the one who is right for you. All attorneys are not created equal and not every attorney will really care what happens in your case. Even the best attorneys handle similar cases differently. It is important for you to find an attorney who handles your case the way you feel most comfortable with. Every individual represented by my office deserves respect and hopefully that is the way all of my previous clients feel they were treated.

Highly recommended
Carolyn worked herself sick in fighting my case to ensure that my right to due process was upheld. She was recommended to me by a friend and can say that I would recommend her to anyone facing a criminal liability. I was completely satisfied with her professionalism and the successful outcome of my...

Aware of one's goal
After hearing great things about Carolyn thru a friend this time around I hired a lawyer. My first DWI case was not even fair, when you go with the flow with a court appointed one.

Top Notch Attorney
I witnessed Carolyn not only Excel in an area that was not her primary specialty but absolutely dominate the proceedings against not 1 not 2 but 3 state assigned attorneys. She overmatched them in everyway. Her courtroom presence and abilities are superb. I'm grateful she was able to represent me and...

excellent attorney
Initially having a felony and a misdemeanor, Mrs Wentland was with me every step of the way. Having to be back and forth to court for almost two years was worth it since Mrs Wentland had both cases dismissed. Always making sure i was informed with what was going on with my cases.
"I endorse this lawyer who goes far above expectations for her clients and has an excellent presence in front of any jury."
"I endorse this lawyer. Mrs. Wentland is a ferocious fighter for her clients. I have seen her work and she is dedicated to an aggressive advocacy for her client's rights."
"Carolyn is a smart and hard-working attorney. She truly cares about all her clients and always look out for their best interests. No matter the case, her clients are her top priority."
