Biography

Carley’s practice focuses on workers’ compensation law as well as Social Security Disability law. She grew up in Dublin, Ohio and attended The Ohio State University for her undergraduate studies. Following graduation from OSU, Carley began working as a legal assistant at a workers’ compensation and Social Security Disability law firm, where she focused primarily on Social Security Disability/SSI matters. She began law school in 2012, attending the night program at Capital University Law School while continuing to work full time during the day.

During her time at Capital and in addition to her full-time job, Carley worked as a teaching assistant for the Legal Research and Writing Department, was a peer advisor, and served as the Executive Articles Editor of the Capital University Law Review.

In 2015, Carley began working as a law clerk in her former firm’s workers’ compensation department. During her two years as a clerk, Carley learned the intricacies of workers’ compensation trial work and developed skills in drafting pleadings, writing persuasive briefs, and conducting legal research of complex workers’ compensation matters.

Carley graduated magna cum laude from Capital University Law School in 2017, and began working at the Law Offices of Charles W. Kranstuber, LPA shortly thereafter. Carley is passionate about providing legal services to both injured workers and disabled individuals, and represents these clients with enthusiasm and dedication.
