Built For Sonoma County
Trial-ready personal injury attorneys serving Northern California.
Chris Krankemann — building cases insurers actually pay.
Santa Rosa Personal Injury Lawyer is a Santa Rosa–based personal injury practice led by Chris Krankemann. The firm represents injured people across Sonoma County and Northern California — never insurance companies, never corporate defendants. Every case gets the same treatment: prepared as if it’s going to trial, even though most settle without one.
The approach is built on three commitments: direct attorney access on every call, honest case screening on the first conversation, and trial-ready preparation on every file. That combination is why insurers in this region pay fair value when our name is on the demand letter.
Full bar admission, law school, and recent verdict history available on request — call us for a free case review and we’ll send you the firm’s credentials packet.
What we do
Seven case types, all personal injury, all on contingency:
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Truck and commercial-vehicle accidents
- Slip-and-fall and premises liability
- Wrongful death
- Bicycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
How we work
- Direct attorney access. When you call, you speak with an attorney — not just an intake screener.
- Honest screening. If your case isn’t a fit, we tell you on the first call and refer you out to someone who is.
- Trial-ready preparation. Every case gets prepared as if a jury will see it. That’s why insurers settle.
- Contingency-only fees. No retainer. No hourly billing. We get paid a percentage of the recovery — only if there is one.
Why Sonoma County
We’re in downtown Santa Rosa for a reason. We litigate at the Sonoma County Superior Court regularly. We know the corridors where crashes happen — Highway 101 through Petaluma, Sonoma Highway 12, downtown Mendocino Avenue — and the medical providers who can document your case correctly.
Track record, in their own words
“Chris and his team handled my case with the kind of attention you don’t expect. They explained every step, returned every call, and the result spoke for itself.”
“After my accident I was overwhelmed. Santa Rosa Personal Injury Lawyer took the pressure off completely — and recovered far more than the insurance company first offered.”
“Honest, aggressive when they need to be, and easy to work with. I’d recommend them to anyone hurt in Sonoma County.”
