Stefanie Krathen-Ginnis

Stefanie Krathen-Ginnis is a co-founding partner of Ginnis, Krathen, & Zelnick, P.A., the boutique Fort Lauderdale injury firm she runs alongside her husband and law partner Eric Ginnis. Her path to plaintiff’s work ran through one of the toughest proving grounds in Florida law: seven years at the State Attorney’s Office for the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, where she rose to Felony Trial Supervisor and prosecuted DUI manslaughter and vehicular homicide cases.

That prosecutorial chapter is directly relevant to anyone hurt in a serious crash. Cases involving impaired drivers, fatal collisions, and catastrophic bodily injury were her daily work for years, and her firm bio notes she draws on that courtroom experience and crash-case knowledge to represent injured clients today. Her practice now centers on personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, and motor vehicle accident litigation, and Super Lawyers has recognized her as a Rising Star.

Krathen-Ginnis earned her bachelor’s degree in English Literature from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2000 and her J.D. from the University of Miami School of Law in 2003. She maintains memberships in the Florida Bar, the Broward County Bar Association, the Broward County Trial Lawyers Association, and the Florida Justice Association. The firm she co-founded is intentionally small, promising direct communication with an attorney and senior-partner attention on every file, and its collective results include multiple seven-figure recoveries in car crash and premises cases.

She is a strong choice for families dealing with crash injuries or a wrongful death, especially cases with a criminal-adjacent dimension such as drunk driving, where her years prosecuting those exact scenarios give her an insider’s read on the evidence. The firm offers free consultations, handles matters in English or Spanish, and works on a contingency basis from its Fort Lauderdale offices.
