Phenomenal!

Calley has renewed my faith in humans. She was nothing but kind, attentive, & compassionate to my situation. I cannot write into words how wonderful she was. Consider yourself lucky if you have Calley on your side.

Wonderful

I don't think anyone looks forward to having to get a lawyer. Finding the right lawyer can be an overwhelming task in itself, maybe even more so than the situation that calls for the need to have to find a lawyer. Calley is simply wonderful. I received a call back well within the time line adverti...sed. She took the time to listen and understand my situation. She adjusted her schedule the same day to fit me in as I thought it was urgent. She asked questions and gave me options and opinions. I felt such relief that I was not facing my situation alone. Great communication and follow-up as well as transparency on pricing, no hidden fees or gimics. I do not anticipate ever needing legal representation concerning my pet again, but if I do, Gerber Animal Law Center will be my first call. Thank you so much for helping me and my pet in this difficult situation and having a positive outcome. I am grateful for her counsel. I know this is her job, but I wasn't just a pay day. I felt she cared about my situation as much as I do.

A lawyer who cares about animals and people

I was served with a civil summons for a dog bite incident by a lawyer whose interaction reminded me of scams from the internet (rude, curt, designed to produce panic, etc.) I contacted Gerber Law and talked to Calley. She was friendly, helpful, and made it clear that despite this being the first i...ncident my best option was to contact my insurance company and let them handle it. Something I'd avoided due to the outrageous amount demanded by the other lawyer. She also was clear on the kind of costs associated with defending against such a lawsuit. If you need someone who will give you the unvarnished truth in a way that won't cause you panic, that won't scare you off, and help you choose a path, I can think of no one better than Gerber Law.

A true angel

I have tried so many times to adequately express my deep gratitude for Ms. Gerber and there are no words that are good enough. It goes without saying that Ms. Gerber is incredibly skilled at what she does. She is highly intelligent, incredibly knowledgeable, and handles every situation with the utm...ost professionalism. Even more incredible are the lengths that she goes for her clients, and the immense empathy she showed. She goes so, so far above and beyond for her clients. She TRULY, truly cares about the humans and animals she is fighting for. I cannot express enough what an incredible human she is, how kind, ethical, and knowledgeable. Anyone would be lucky to utilize her services and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone. Ms. Gerber is truly one of a kind.

Justice for the Dogs

Gerber Animal Law was a beacon when our Rescue needed help with a sensitive situation involving dog ownership rights. Calley helped us to understand the law, understand our rights, gave us options for legal action and supported us every step of the way.
