Kind and Highly Effective

I hired Kalka upon recommendation of another lawyer since Kalka is highly respected by her peers and the legal community. She was direct, held me accountable and guided me to do the necessary footwork for my case so that I could quickly and effectively take care of things. She was extremely fair an...d knows exactly how to be strategic and succinct when writing the declaration. Going to court was a necessary but difficult thing for me to do and she made me feel confident and supported and she was brutally honest when I needed it the most.

Amazing Lady

I came to Kalka a complete wreck. I was ending a 20 year marriage and I had no idea what to do. Kalka fought for me, stood up for me and encouraged me when I was at my worst. Knowing that she was there for me gave me great comfort. Because of Kalka, I'm a much stronger person today. Her constant e...ncouragement and support were blessings to me. She took charge and I knew I wasn't going through it on my own. Kalka had my back. Anyone would be lucky to have her defending and fighting for them. I know I was.

Thoroughness, expertise and kindness combined

We needed to hire an attorney to help us with a child custody case. The father of my grandson took the child from a Midwest state and refused to return him, even though he was court ordered to do so in our state. Due to jurisdiction issues we had to hire an attorney to help us work through the courts... in Vancouver. Ms. Thangkhiew was extremely thorough and determined to help us with getting my grandchild back. She dropped everything to spend the time to help us work through the Vancouver court system. Within 3 days, the sheriff retrieved our little one, we had our hearing with the judge and were flying back home. One thing that I noticed was that Kalka has an extremely good rapport with everyone at the courthouse. From the security guard and to everyone we were required to deal with in the courthouse. I truly believe this was a positive factor in the smoothness of the process. She was very accessible and explained every step of the process along the way. We will forever be grateful for her expertise and the kindnesses she showed us along the way!

A Very Knowledgeable, Helpful, and Sympathetic Attorney

Kalka helped me get through the most painful year of my life getting a divorce. She was very direct and gave me choices throughout the whole process. She advised but didn't push me toward her choice. She was very sensitive to what I was going through and even talked with my family and counselor about... the best way to help me through some very rough times. Kalka became my friend as well as my attorney. I will always be grateful to her for helping me through the most difficult time of my life.

Thankful for Kalka

I love Kalka and have used her throughout the years. I have recommended her to my family and friends. (which they have taken my recommendation and have liked her as well). She understood my concerns and she is very responsive. She is very fair and level headed. She knows the law and is a powerhouse! ...I can't recommend her enough. She is great and I trust her completely!! She not only is there for you during your need, but follows up after. She cares about her clients and is empathetic to their emotions and needs.
