For over a decade, KGG Partner Kate Carballo has devoted her practice to helping those who have been seriously injured due to no fault of their own. As a trial attorney licensed in New York and New Jersey, she is a passionate and strong advocate for her clients who have been treated unfairly by large institutions like the insurance companies.
