Posted by Afamefuna | December 21, 2020 | Hired Attorney | Speeding & Traffic Ticket

Very humble and kind in her work

I was given 8 ticket unjustly with 22 point astake on my drivers license. When I contacted Terri B. Killer office , they treated me with respect and took time to listen to my story . They carried me along through the process and guiding me. When I moved out of New York , they kept me update and went ...to court and defended the 8 ticked with not guilty result . This is the best lawyer I have ever worked with . Very understanding, treat you with respect and meet you where you are. Terri thanks so much for being such a kind hearted human being . Putting humanity to your professionalism . You and your team are the best . I am thankful.

Got My Boyfriend's Case Closed

My boyfriend had a traffic ticket/case that the courts kept having him come every year to try to fight it and the officer who gave it to him would never show up to court on the given date. So, this went on for 4 years. A friend of mine recommended Terri to me after I told her the story and he called ...her the day before his court date this year which was scheduled on 7/3/19. Terri's team assured him that this is something they've seen before and know how to deal with it (of course providing the disclaimer of there not being a guarantee on the result). The case was closed and my boyfriend was not convicted! She was very kind.

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!

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.

Hired this attorney for 3 NYC area speed tixx. 2 out of 3 guilty. No big victory with this lawyer!

Hired this lawyer on a referral from a NYC borough based car service company. Rest assure, her fee is to be paid 1st & up front, yet there's "never a guarantee" of acquittal as she/her staff clearly states. Ms. Kalker is very difficult to request and speak with for Q & A and/or updates. And forget ca...lling her office... her secretary (Shirley) is extremely difficult to deal with... rude, very argumentative and getting information from her regarding your case is like trying to get the devil to sell air conditioners poolside! Adjournments up the ying yang! It's gotta be the right judge, the correct day, the right wind speed... and God forbid your court appearance(s) fall in, on or around a Jewish holiday... Ms. Kalker makes many trips out of the country for these religious observances and uses substitute "stand-in" attorneys who don't know vehicle traffic laws from a cracker jack surprise toy. 1st ticket was reduced 2 points, yet still guilty. 2nd ticket, she went out of area for a religious observance and this unknown attorney who took her place the day of my trial, shook my hand and was about as useful as a sheet of used toilet paper. Guilty with no reductions. Thanks for nothing, Mr. Clueless substitute attorney. As a result, she suggested setting up a "pay-off" involving her and/or someone from NYC who "oversees" these tickets. She was a stones throw away from having the Brooklyn DA question her and her business practices after I made formal inquiry through the DA regarding this "pay-off." Final (3rd) ticket she gets lucky because the officer "knew" her and gave her (me) a "break." A break!?! What about all the vehicle traffic laws and other textbook law material she's supposed to be using in lieu of "knowing someone?" Bottom line? After using several attorneys over the years for various necessities, Ms. Kalker is nothing to write home about, nor is (in my opinion) trustworthy enough for my referral.
