Bergen County Heroes of the Month

The Law Office of Kantrowitz, Goldhamer, Graifman, Perlmutter & Carballo, P.C. is proud to support the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge. “One common thread among all the lawyers who work for our office is a passion for animals,” explains founding partner Paul Goldhamer. “We agree with the idea that the morality and the greatness of a society can be judged by the way the most vulnerable are treated. The Bergen County refuge does great work in improving conditions for local animals, a cause we’re really happy to be a part of.”

Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge combats overpopulation the humane way

Uncontrolled overpopulation leads to insufficient homes for cats and dogs in Bergen County. Some establishments euthanize animals without a second thought as a way of decreasing animal populations. By contrast, the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge adheres to a “no-kill” policy. Instead, every animal that passes through their doors receives proper medical care before getting spayed or neutered. Some of the animals they receive have been thrown out car windows on the freeway, wounded with staple guns, starved, and left chained to fences. Behavior therapy is given when necessary to rehabilitate abused animals to be more suitable for their forever homes. Every effort is taken to find good, secure adoptive homes for the animals that are ideal fits for both pet and owner.

Animal welfare education is a top priority

Managing the glut of unwanted animals is an important part of the job, but the Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge knows that education is the key to securing a better future. America’s next generation of pet owners learn about responsible pet ownership through educational tours, group discussions, and animal interactions. The organization reaches out to schools, scouts, and 4H clubs to schedule animal visits and talks about bite prevention / animal welfare.

 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.

He was very responsive, thorough, and easy to work with from start to finish. He walked me through everything clearly and made what started as a very stressful situation for me into something completely manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and the firm!

 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!
