He then made his way into becoming a small business owner, where he worked heavily in criminal law, both in the fields of criminal prosecution and defense. Mr. Zentner is motivated to advocate for people, so he became a lawyer.

Early Career

During his undergraduate years, Mr. Zentner was called to serve as a juror for a civil case, and while serving on the jury, he witnessed firsthand how lawyers would build and argue their cases. He knew he wanted to be a lawyer at that moment and decided to go to law school. His passion for criminal law came when he interned for a local county attorney's office.

During the early stages of his career in law, Mr. Zentner gained valuable experience as an assistant county attorney for the Leavenworth County Attorney's Office and as a legal intern with the Leavenworth and Shawnee County District Attorney's Offices. He helped draft House Bill 2442 and testified before the House Standing Committee on Corrections and Juvenile Justice.
