About Carranza LLP

Clients rate this firm highly on Google.

Carranza LLP is a personal injury and immigration law firm on Finch Avenue West in Toronto's Downsview area. Juan Carranza, one of the first Central American lawyers called to the Law Society of Upper Canada, opened the practice as a solo practitioner in 1994, starting out with what a 2007 Law Times profile described as just a desk and phone. Volunteer work in Toronto's Latin American community before law school meant the young practice already had clients waiting when the doors opened, and referrals from that same network shaped its early hires.

The firm has since grown to five lawyers plus an in-house immigration consultant with two decades in that field. Personal injury work covers motor vehicle collisions, brain and spinal cord injuries, slip and falls, and long-term disability claims, and the firm also handles wills and notarizations. The team offers service in ten languages, including Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Mandarin, Tagalog, Vietnamese, Bosnian, Patois and American Sign Language, on top of English, reflecting a staff the firm describes as mainly first and second generation Canadians. Karla Carranza, called to the Ontario bar in 2018, is among the firm's current lawyers.
