The attorneys at the law firm of Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C. recently achieved a victory for our client, a father of three children, engaged in a long-term child custody battle regarding parental alienation.

Our client had been subjected to heinous and false charges by the mother of his children over a 10-year period, including false allegations of sexual and physical abuse, false criminal charges by the mother that were always dismissed and unfounded child protective services reports filed by the mother.

The court determined that all the allegations were unfounded after hearing testimony from witnesses, including an objective expert child psychologist, testifying that the mother was alienating the children from their father.

It should be noted that New York courts have consistently held that a pattern of making false Child Protective Services allegations by a custodial parent against a non-custodial parent are not only grounds to change custody, but also rises to the level of child neglect. In our case, the judge determined that the best interest of two younger children would be to modify the custody, so that our client is now named the primary physical custodian of his children.

The judge also ordered the father to take the children to counseling and suspended any contact with the two younger children and the mother for 30 days. The oldest child would remain in the mother’s custody. Although courts are generally hesitant to split custody of siblings, it does happen in certain rare situations.

Parental alienation is unacceptable. Most psychologists and mental health experts agree that this behavior is damaging to a child’s mental and emotional well-being. It can also cause long-lasting problems when a child reaches adulthood and moves into a committed relationship, as issues involving trust peak.

This case shows that we will listen to your wishes when it comes to matters of child custody. Our attorneys will provide you with unsurpassed advice.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
