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 Your character superseded my expectations.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.

Peace of mind experience, and superior performance!

From the beginning, 7 days after my accident, Tony Kalka was the most professional and concerned attorney I had spoke with. Due to my injuries, Mr. Kalka met with me at my home. He was very candid and open with me, and no question I had went unanswered. Immediately I felt comfortable with him. My ...case went on for the better part of a year, all the while, he and his associates worked on building my case. Tony was also very instrumental in assisting me with managing my finances and getting the best medical care at the time. The due diligence exemplified by Tony Kalka and his staff is top notch, and, I feel, unsurpassed by not a single law firm in the Atlanta, or surrounding area! I owe total success in the case to his patience and understanding of all the intricacies involved with my accident. His knowledgeable staff is friendly and on top of everything. The efforts put forth by Tony and his colleagues allowed me to concentrate on my physical and mental recovery. I placed it all in his hands, and I was not let down! I have grown to look at Tony as a friend, and will use Kalka and Baer law firm in an instant in the future. Tony will not let you down; if you go in open minded, listen to what he says and follow his direction. I have and will continue to recommend Kalka and Baer as the premier injury trial attorneys in this region!

Tony is a Relentless, Diligent & Knowledge Lawyer Posted by a Trucking Accident client,

Tony represented me and my cousin in a trucking accident. The case was difficult to crack since the insurance company & the trucking company tried to evade liability by heaping the blame on the truck driver instead of accepting liability. There was an assumption that the truck driver was driving outs...ide company time and this was the basis of argument by the trucking company and the insurance company in their quest to avoid liability. So the case ended up boiling down to Tony's ability to press for the truth. This meant that I and all the other litigants involved were to appear before the judge for adjudication. The net result is that this pushed the insurance company and truck driver to settle the case outside the court and I will say for a substantial amount.if you need a lawyer with great expertise and ability to navigate this arena of deceit by insuarance company you should always count on Tony Kalka he is steadfast diligent and quite knowledgeable in this field count on him If you need a lawyer with great expertise and ability to navigate this arena of deceit by insurance companies, you should always count on Tony Kalka. He is steadfast, diligent and quite knowledgeable in this field. Count on him!
