My daughter's car accident

Mr. Kalka and his team did a wonderful job! They were very professional, kind, courteous and helpful during the entire process from start to finish! His paralegal, Matthew Blake, was phenomenal! He would keep me informed of everything that was going on, and always fought for us! WE felt very comf...ortable with Kalka's team & we were never left in the dark! They made sure we got what we deserved and then some! I would highly recommend Anthony Kalka to represent anyone I know that has dealt with personal injury! They made sure my daughter was taken care of, and I truly appreciate all the effort & help, as I couldn't of done this alone! Many thanks!!!!

Timely & Courteous

An accident is never something you want to happen. Having a lawyer that helps you in a timely fashion and is courteous is important. Most times you hire an accident lawyer because the insurance company was taking too long or not responding. Mr. Kalka was readily available, answered all of my concerns..., and was very courteous and provided professional guidance. I never felt like a number to him. Mr. Matthew, is his assistant, was always timely as well and copied Mr. Kalka on all communications. I am so thankful for the time and effort he gave to my case. I am 100% satisfied and I highly recommend his services. You will not be disappointed!

Great attorney and friend during difficult time

Our family experienced a personal tragedy last winter with the death of a dear family member due to terrible accident. Tony and his team were compassionate and worked with us through the entire process, taking extra care to explain any complications and challenges presented by the case. They were als...o terrific in working with all sides to get us the best possible outcome as quickly as possible which went a long way in helping our family start to move beyond the tragedy. While I certainly never wish the same type of experience on anyone, I would without a doubt recommend Tony and his team for any matters of personal injury, accidents, or wrongful death. They are true professionals and importantly, they are also friends.

Exeeded Expectations, Hands Down!

On 11/6/2013 my car was pushed into the next lane by a huge semi truck on the GA 400 going Northbound on my way home from work. I was fortunate in that the cars behind me saw the semi truck had not noticed I was directly beside his right passenger tire and they gave me just enough room to squeeze ...into the next lane, considering this was all happening in a matter of a few seconds. My car was damaged on the driver side door by the truck driver’s right tire. There was minor collision damage to my car and I had some neck stress from tensing up due to the shock of it all. I couldn’t get any help from his insurance, I only had liability coverage at the time and no attorney would help me because my case was simply to small and I wasn’t interested in bilking the insurance company with any false or exaggerated chiropractic claims. However, my last call before I gave up was to Kalka & Baer and I spoke with Matthew Broun. He kindly took my call and “listened” to my story, even though he likely didn’t really have the time. He also took another 10 minutes to tell me what I could do to get the insurance company to pay my claim. He asked me to follow his instructions, write everything down, step by step and ask me to follow his instructions. He also added that if they refuse to respond to my request, to call him back. I thought that was amazing! When I finished that call I felt confident and eliminated the sense of hopelessness I had gained. I know he was busy, but he just did what he thought was the right thing. He believed that I had the right of way. He understood that the claim of $1700 for damages and some for pain and suffering was too small for any law firm to take on as a case. I did as he instructed and with a little persistence I finally received a check for $4,000! Thank you Matthew Broun, you are the absolute best. Your character superseded my expectations. If I ever need any legal representation in the future I am contacting Matthew Broun at Kalka & Baer. They are the law firm I feel I can trust, hands down.

The Best Attorney you will ever find!

Tony Kalka is an Extraordinary Attorney, I can never thank enough. If it had not been for Tony Kalka, Kalka & Baer Law Firm, I would not be physically or logically writing this. He literally saved me from having a nervous breakdown. And after speaking to 4 other attorney’s – he put my mind at ease... immediately and I felt safe and secure. I did not have to worry about anything, he told me facts and said all I needed to do was get well, it was his job to handle everything else so I could have peace of mine and heal. Has an attorney ever told you that? I do not know of any. At the time, I couldn’t even think straight or remember things, car accidents are not fun...and some Insurance Companies prey on victims not caring if they are hurt or not or how it will affect their life. 30 years ago that happened to me, the worst head on collision that could happen and I was in my early 20's. The other party ran a light and literally landed into my Honda Civic at that time. They had to cut me out of the car; I could not remember anything and when the insurance company pressured me, I looked for an attorney. I was so hurt I couldn't even remember the ones I knew so I picked one out of the yellow pages. That was a huge mistake, but I was young and really hurt bad and needed help. My car was paid for. But, I had used it as a loan and the bank demanded money right then. The attorney sent me to his doctor on his list and told me I had to settle for $5000.00. I had 3 jobs...made good money and I couldn't work or think or finish a sentence for two years. It was a nightmare, so when this accident happened all I could think of was the past and I knew I was hurt badly, fortunately being older now I had learned my mistakes. It's been almost two years since this accident happened and Tony has been with me every step of the way and handled everything. I interviewed 5 attorneys, he was the last one and he was nice enough to come to my home and talk to me. He spoke to me like a person, he wasn't in it for the quick buck...he was concerned and recommended to me who to go to. He kept me informed and took care of all issues....I just needed to get well and he helped me with that (I will not list the insurance company involved), but I was really concerned when I found out the person who rear-ended me at a high speed only had liability and it was the same insurance company that pushed me into settling for $5000.00, which didn't cover doctor bills or lost income or my sanity, plus I had no car. Tony Kalka told me not to worry that was his job and things would be done fairly and told me just to get well. He is the best attorney I have ever known and one that "cares" about his clients. That is rare and priceless. He is a family and business man that has integrity, passion and pride in his work, and looks after his clients first. Thank God, a friend helped choose the attorneys to interview, and he was on the list, and I saved him for last since his office was so far. But, now I would fly or drive anywhere to have him as my attorney; because, he is a genuine honest man that represents and cares about justice for his client. Thank you, Tony, I would have lost everything if it had not been for you...and anyone can email me or call me for a reference. I know a lot of people in the legal fields, but you really outshine them all and if I could tell the world I would...I do not give compliments or reviews normally but when someone goes way beyond the call of duty... People need to know who you are and what you can do! I cannot thank you enough, being 57 years old is hard enough, but a car accident is a nightmare and you saved me: mentally, physically and financially.
