Mr. Kranstuber listened to my story of injury, in a compassionate manner, and systematically solved issue after issue in a wonderfully professional style. I had initially been assigned to a doctor who was not concerned with my issues. Mr Kranstuber referred me to a doctor, who has been nothing but incredible in getting me the medical care that I need. I am grateful that Mr. Kranstuber is on this earth and in Columbus at this time in my life.

I'm one of Chuck's former clients, and I know what I'm talking about.
I was completely confused by the Worker's Compensation rules, laws, and what to do, etc. Chuck walked me through everything, that I needed to do. He's not a man to waste your time. He knows his business very well, and he has helped me navigate the mess that is BWC in Ohio, especially Columbus. I highly recommend this gentleman, if you have need for a good worker's comp. lawyer.
And a personal note to Chuck: Thank you very much.
