Calley Gerber

Calley has worked for me on two occasions and our dog rescue keeps her "on retainer." (We actually don't pay but she stays available for us.) She has helped us with writing adoption and surrender contracts, has defended the contract in court (we won), and has been able to keep us out of court this ye...ar. I hate the circumstances when I have to call her, but feel very reassured when we do talk. She is always very personable, understanding and easy to talk with while at the same time professional and strong.

Being threatened with having our dog taken away from us and killed was a terrifying experience but once we hired Calley we KNEW we were in very good and competent hands. Calley's carefully considered response letter to the attorney representing the other party was nothing short of perfection. She sta...ted simple facts of law which were not in favor of the other party's requests. She was able to quickly shut down the entire threat of a law suit. She set just the right tone throughout the process when dealing with the other party. We were in such good hands with Calley, she treated us with the utmost respect and always made us feel competent, comfortable and relevant to the situation. What could have been the most tragic experience in our lives was resolved fairly and efficiently due to Calley's exceptional guidance and performance.

Calley Gerber went above and beyond to save our dog from euthanasia after a first bite. (The person bit received stitches but no permanent damage to muscle, nerves or bone. Our local animal control still wanted to euthanize.) During such an emotional and distressful time for us, she was honest and up...front about what we were fighting for: our dog's life. We do not have human children so our dogs ARE our kids. We were at a loss about what to do or what not to do. A paralegal friend had asked the attorneys where she works if they would represent us. None of them would touch this case because they don’t know animal law or how to defend pet owners. We asked several people involved in animal rescue for advice and Calley Gerber’s name kept coming up. That’s when we knew we had the right person! On short notice, she did a huge amount of research and came to the hearing extremely well prepared. It was very surreal to watch someone who didn’t even know our dog care so much and fight so hard on his behalf. Thankfully, Calley did save our dog’s life and we will be forever grateful to her. She gave excellent advice every step of the way. I admire her honesty, professionalism, specialized knowledge and compassion for animals. I recommend her highly to anyone who needs an animal law attorney for any reason.
