Carissa Kranz, Esq.

Founding Attorney

Carissa is a former professional ballet dancer-turned lawyer who is licensed to practice law in Florida, New York and Washington D.C. Carissa is the founding attorney for the Law Offices of Carissa Kranz, the premiere Injury Legal Firm, and BeVeg International, the leading global vegan certification firm. Both businesses are woman owned, making Carissa’s firm one of the most sought after female personal injury law firms in Florida.

Carissa is also an awarded-Super Lawyer, top female personal injury lawyer in America, and a regular legal expert for major media networks like Fox, CNN/HLN, NBC, CBS, and shows like Nancy Grace and Dr. Drew. Carissa was also an anchor in New York City with Dan Abrams covering the country’s biggest court trials live for Law and Crime Network. Dan is best known for being the star of LIVE PD, ABC news Chief Legal Expert and Good Morning America anchor. Carissa also anchored with award-winning news journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell, on Jane Unchained News Network for the Voiceless, and with Velez-Mitchell also hosted the Amazon Prime vegan cooking show New Day New Chef, available on public television stations throughout the country.

Carissa earned her law degree from U.C. Berkeley, where she was awarded Best Oral Advocate and served as an Editor of the California Law Review. Simultaneously, Carissa earned her Masters in Journalism from Medill at Northwestern University, as the Bloomberg Scholar. Before founding the Law Offices of Carissa Kranz to be an advocate and caregiver for her ballet mentor with Alzheimer’s, Carissa was a Florida Prosecutor, Greenberg Traurig litigation associate, and a law clerk for the California Supreme Court. As a prosecutor Carissa was lead counsel and tried close to 100 cases in front of a jury.

Carissa now runs the Law Offices of Carissa Kranz, which is a top law firm for injured clients. The firm has provided legal services to thousands of clients and recovered millions of dollars for injured clients from the country’s biggest insurance companies. Carissa also founded BeVeg International focusing on global vegan certification for products and services, striving for honest vegan labeling laws. The BeVeg vegan symbol trademark has been featured as the vegan stamp of approval for conscious companies by Forbes, California Wine Advisor, PETA, CBS news, NBC news, Social Life Magazine, LiveKindly, Vegetarian Resource Group, VegNews, Veg World Magazine, among others. BeVeg is also used and endorsed by celebrity supermodel, Christie Brinkley, award-winning journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell, and Kip Andersen from What the Health documentary.

Carissa is a lifelong vegan, and believes empathy and compassion are what matters most. Consistent with Carissa’s passion for justice and compassion for others, the Law Offices of Carissa Kranz and BeVeg takes on the representation and causes of injured people and animals globally. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Carissa filed a legal Petition for Rule-making in New York to shut down and permanently ban all live “wet markets”, another term for local slaughterhouses. The firm also advocated against a global ban for Wet Markets echoing Congress’s sentiments to the World Health Organization. The law firm did this pro bono for the animals and as pandemic prevention hygiene for humans.

True to Carissa’s kind heart, Carissa’s firm got its start when she came to the rescue for her ailing ballet teacher. In 2014, Carissa took over Power of Attorney, and rescued Miss Joan Miller, of the Palm Beach Ballet Center, out of a 1-star nursing facility, with no family and no advocate, in a ward room with 5 beds, and a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s — and moved her into her home. Carissa used her skills of advocacy and writing to battle the medicaid system to bring dignity back to Miss Joan, who is still residing in the community with Carissa and caregivers, and with their other rescued roommate: Sugar, a sweet blind cat. Through it all, Carissa states Miss Joan is still her teacher. “Even though Miss Joan is losing her mind she’s still teaching me daily about mindfulness. Alzheimer’s patients teach us to live in the NOW, as that is the only moment they understand”. Carissa was the 2019 keynote speaker for the Annual Alzheimer’s Community Care luncheon on Palm Beach Island. Palm Beach Post — Extraordinary Lives of Local People.

Carissa lives her life morally en pointe. Motivated by principle and purpose, Carissa passionately takes on causes in pursuit of justice. Whether Carissa is advocating for an injured victim’s rights in court, articulating animal activism, or rescuing her ballet teacher, one thing is the same: Carissa uses her time on this planet to meaningfully give a voice to the voiceless.

Quotes by Carissa Kranz

LAW IS AN ART JUST LIKE BALLET — IT KEEPS ME ON MY TOES; IT REQUIRES GREAT SKILL AND ARTISTRY TO TIP THE SCALES OF JUSTICE. WHETHER I’M IN A COURTROOM OR BALLET CLASS, I’M ALWAYS SEEKING TO STRIKE THE RIGHT BALANCE.

Carissa On Pointe
Carissa Kranz, Esq.

BALLET TRAINING TEACHES LIFE SKILLS SUCH AS COMMITMENT, DEDICATION, HARD WORK, ATTENTION TO DETAIL, GRACE, ELEGANCE, BALANCE, CONTROL, AND THE IMPORTANCE OF FLEXIBILITY. MOST OF ALL, IT TEACHES ONE HOW TO ALWAYS BE ON POINT AND DANCE CIRCLES AROUND ALMOST ANY SITUATION.

Human law is an intended version of higher laws. I believe in justice and compassion for ALL beings. I believe in giving a voice to the voiceless. I believe in causes. I believe you are in your power when you make passion and purpose your profession. I believe in dancing circles around the courtroom. I believe in the Laws THAT Matter!
