Posted by anonymous | June 07, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Unprofessional, rude and worst traffic attorney I have ever hired

I had a 5 points improper cell phone use ticket that I gave it to her. I paid her $200 and top, she took $40 bonds twice and gave me excuse that she is waiting for favorable judge. Guess what? 1. She lost the trial and I'm convicted with 5 points 2. Her office didn't even bother to call me and let ...me know that she lost the trial and I have to pay fine ( I waited 13 days after trial day) 3, Her assistants are super rude Hire her at your own risk. Don't take my words and just find out on your own how rude/unprofessional this law firm is

It is quite easy to write a review anonymously. I wonder why the poster did not include a name? Perhaps because then the statements would have to be verified!

My Lawyer Terri Kalker did a fantastic job, dismissing my 5 point cellphone ticket! Cheap, fast, reliable. I would definitely use Terri again. My license would've been suspended for at least 6 months if this ticket would have gone Onto my record.

Crook

This place is a total BS , please please do not waste your time & money here . Charged me $200 and I never got a chance to meet the real lawyer ( Terri Beth Kalker ) I ended up paying another $250 for the ticket itself.

Of course if one chooses NOT to come into the office any evening when the attorney is in the office nor go to Court during the day, it is hard to meet someone. I would love to meet a traffic attorney that travels to see the client! That is the reason and office is set up. In addition, as is the case with all traffic matters, there was never a guarantee given. Drive more carefully in the future so you do not receive any more violation. Good luck.

Traffic Lawyer

I am very disappointed how i was treated with this attorney. Staff are also impolite. I find out through the Traffic Violation Bureau that my case was postponed i had to call to find out what is going on. I never received a phone call. The only phone i received that i have to pay for my ticket. I hir...ed this lawyer to defend me because i am innocent of the charges. I had pictures Terri Kalker stated i didn't need it. I paid the attorney to represent me she stated having great experience with traffic cases, now an extra money to pay the ticket plus points on my license. This lawyer is not a good lawyer. Best visit a lawyer in person. Or better yet, take your own chances of winning a case. Traffic courts understand a layperson, all they want is the facts of the case nothing else. If you have pictures best thing.

Got me out of my 6 point ticket!

I got a ticket back in 2008 in the Bronx for going 78 in a 50..28 MPH over and 6 points I was facing. I postponed my ticket the first two times myself, and once the court itself did it for "administrative reasons", then I realized I needed a lawyer to keep the process going. I found her through a c...oworker and called up, gave all my info over the phone and that's when the process started. The first few court dates I had, they postponed themselves for me. Unfortunately, they never ever called me about these times to tell me I was postponed, but I checked myself online. They also did not tell me that I had to pay a $40 bond one time, so I got a letter in the mail from the DMV telling me I had to pay it or else I'd get suspended. She postponed my case I believe 3 times and then tried it, I wasn't called to be notified of the result. I called myself to be told it was dismissed, and to get my refund for the bond. She got my ticket thrown out, no points or anything and a very reasonable price tag for her services. If it wasn't for the good price and the ticket being thrown out, my ratings for the communication would probably have been worse. But, even though I was barely contacted, I'd still recommend because she won my case.
