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.

Highly recommended

I can't say enough good things about Ms. Gerber. The level of care she showed for me, my family and my dog was exceptional. Her knowledge of animal law is excellent. She was very careful to provide the appropriate advice and not push us into any decisions. Ms. Gerber could have pushed us to take our ...chances in front of a judge, however, she was able to keep us out of a court room, saving us stress and the cost of her trial fees. She went above and beyond my expectations. I would highly recommend her to anyone! It's nice to know that there are attorneys out there with their hearts in the right place.

Administrative Officer

I was frantically in need of legal advice regarding custody over a dog that had been in my care for over two years. When calling around for local attorneys I called Calley's office and was not only able to speak directly with Calley, but she squeezed me in for an appointment the following day, which ...I was so thankful for! Calley quickly understood the situation I was in and due to the time sensitivity of my issue, wrote a letter for me that same afternoon. I would highly recommend Calley to anyone needing animal law assistance as she is extremely smart, responsive, and thorough. I can tell she puts her heart into her job and wants to help save animal lives since they cannot speak for themselves. She has a real talent in writing in a professional and compassionate manner and provided superb mediation for me during a tough time.

Saving Troy

Calley was amazing to work with, very quick with returning all info and keeping me up to speed with my case as well as putting it in my terms for understanding. I never felt like I wasn't sure about anything, and she included my husband as well who was deployed overseas in an issue that he could t he...lp with while he was away. Thanks to Calley we are able to successfully stay a whole family which was the goal. She got the case settled before court so we felt much more relieved. She is an amazing lawyer and an even more genuine person and animal lover! If you need anything at all in regards to Animal Law - She's the woman for the job!!! Thank you Calley for Saving troy! -Laiken, Danny, Suzanna & Troy!

Calley Gerber is highly recommended for her exceptional support of animal welfare and dedication to animal rescue.

I have worked with Calley several times over the past four or five years. She has "partnered" with our rescue group with a variety of issues including reviewing/recommending contracts; dealing with difficult situations; and a complicated court case (which she won). I have always found Calley to... be responsive, professional and enthusiastic with all matters that have been brought to her. I highly admire her dedication and energy to all animal right's issues.
