Fantastic Service

Todd Tkach's office provided excellent, professional service in a prompt manner. I could not thank him enough for his wonderful staff and efficiency. I would recommend his office to all of my friends.

Incompetent lawyer and staff

I retained Todd Tkach to represent me for a speeding ticket in the City of Grapevine. He appeared and received a deferred adjudication, but then never notified me of this and forgot to send me a notification for show cause hearing to prevent the ticket from going unpaid, and then it went into warran...t. Now, the city will not lift the warrant. I spoke with his office and they admitted to not providing me notice of the show cause hearing. Now, my ticket will go on my record and this guy skated off with my money. DO NOT HIRE THIS DEADBEAT.

Mark you retained me to represent you for an outstanding warrant for a speeding citation in the Grapevine Municipal Court. We posted a surety bond, which lifted the warrant. We then appeared in court for you on April 10, 2017. At that time, we entered a plea, which kept this citation off of your driving record. You claim that we never sent you notice of the plea. However, three days after the plea, on April 13, 2017, we sent you a “Case Over Letter” notifying you of the plea and instructing you on how, where and when to make your fine payment. The Case Over Letter was sent to you by regular mail and email. On that same day, the letter was also uploaded to our online case management system for you to view and a notice that the letter was available for you to view was emailed to you from our computer system. On that same day, we also sent you a text message to your cell phone number informing you that we had resolved your case and instructed you to check your mail, email or login to our system to view the Case Over Letter. So, three days after the plea, we notified you of the result of your case in 4 different ways: 1.) regular mail, 2.) email, 3.) online, and 4.) text message. Unfortunately, you never made your fine payment. For that reason, the court set a show cause hearing for August 17, 2017. On July 7, 2017, the Court mailed you a notice of the Show Cause hearing, instructing you to be in court on August 17, 2017. You did not appear in court and you have denied receiving that notice, as well. As you well know, our representation of you did NOT include representation at a show cause hearing. We didn’t hear from you until approximately October 20, 2017 when you apparently received notice that the court had issued a warrant. At that time, you called us and hired me once again and paid me an additional fee to try to correct your failure to pay your fine. Had we failed to notify you of the original plea, as you claim, why would you call me and pay me an additional fee to correct the problem? We have tried to work with you to solve your problem. I have called you twice today, but you have not taken my calls. However, you did call and talk with one of my assistants, who informed me that you began yelling, used bad language and hung up on her.

Best Personal Injury attorney in Dallas

I would highly recommend attorney Todd Tkach to anyone that has been in a car accident. Attorney Tkach is one of the top lawyers in Dallas, without a doubt. I was in a hit and run accident that left me in a lot of pain. The law office of Todd Tkach handled everything and I was able to focus on my rec...overy. Every time I contacted their office, they returned my call in a timely manner. They kept me up to date. I am grateful for their hard work. The money I received greatly exceeded my expectations. Thank you Mr. Tkach, I appreciate your honesty and willingness to help me. I would absolutely recommend this firm to my family and friends.

Bad Service, Misleading, False Assurance

Went into the office with a traffic citation I'd forgotten about that had become a warrant. I was charged $75 and THEN told it would take ~3 DAYS to clear the warrant! They already charged me (non refundable) so I had little choice but to sweat it out. I called 3 days later to verify the warrant ...was lifted...then I was told a story about some delays, office trouble, etc...and that it wasnt even submitted until the day before. Once I was told I would have to sweat it out another day and a half PLUS over the weekend...I called the JP and had the warrant lifted myself (over the phone even), and the court date reset. I understand people get busy, sick, etc... but these people are hired (paid up front even) to defend us against this twisted revenue stream known as traffic tickets/municipal courts. It might just be a paperwork glitch to them, but if I'm arrested, that costs me my freedom, plus if things were really bad, it could cost someone their job, home, etc... It is VERY serious business. If you're too busy to offer 100% focus to your legal customers...STOP TAKING IN NEW CLIENTS until you have room!!!

Waste of time and money unless you like WARRANTS

worthless, you better off doing it yourself. I used him and two years later received a call from dallas county saying I had a warrant out for my arrest. Do yourself a favor and DON'T USE THIS GUY!
