Carrie L. Rentz, P.A.

Carrie began her legal career in 2004 as an Assistant State Attorney for the 18th Judicial Circuit, serving Seminole and Brevard counties. She started as a misdemeanor prosecutor in Titusville, Florida, and was later transferred to Sanford, Florida, where she was ultimately promoted to a felony docket trial attorney position.

Her experience as a prosecutor spurred a desire to help people in bad situations, and care for those who’ve hit rock-bottom, helping them get them back on track to a better life. She left the State Attorney’s Office to join the Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Council for the Fifth District, representing cases throughout Volusia, Seminole, Orange, Flagler, Lake and Osceola Counties.  As a former prosecutor, Carrie understood all aspects of building a strong offensive case, from gathering pertinent evidence to deciding the best convictions to seek – an advantage which has proven key to developing a strong defense.

In 2008, Carrie went into private practice, opening up her own firm and continuing to work part-time for the Office of Criminal Conflict and Civil Regional Council for the Fifth District. She’sdefended everything from murder and sex crimes, to driving on a suspended license.

In 2014, Carrie expanded her practice into handling family law cases, working as co-counsel with a Central Florida attorney representing more than 40 years of experience and many high profile cases.

Carrie is a member of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Attorneys and the Winter Park Chamber of Commerce.  Carrie has also been recognized by the National Trial Lawyers Top 100.  Additionally, Carrie serves on the Board for Community Legal Services of Mid-Florida. 

Carrie has a compassion and understanding for each of her clients to be fully invested in fighting for their best possible outcome. She’s seen enough good people find themselves in unfortunate situations and works hard to accomplish her client’s goals.
