THANKFUL
My personal experience with all the staff, and attorneys at the office of CARISSA KRANZ, was amazing. The entire office was so kind, and extended themselves to make sure I was taken care of. It was a long process, just as the attorneys had explained, but they all graciously walked me through each step. I'm so thankful for their support and guidance. My health was their primary concern, and I felt like they truly cared for my well being. They all worked diligently to make sure we were in regular contact. I'm grateful for all their hard work for retrieving me a SETTLEMENT IN THE SUM OF 100K

Must hire her!
Carissa has represented me on two matters and got me six figures on both cases. I'm truly impressed with her professionalism, ability to articulate, litigate, and win.

Best personal injury lawyer in South Florida
I hired Carissa after another large firm dropped my case. She was fantastic! I got triple my original offer from the insurance company. She even contacted doctors and had my medical bills reduced or eliminated. This was great because some of the charges went to collections since it was missed by the PIP. I would recommend her to anyone.
