Anthony Kalka
He has spent much of his time learning how to compassionately come alongside those that are suffering from catastrophic injuries. It is his goal that individuals should not have to experience great loss of life or extreme pain without being compensated. When providers neglect to pay out their full claim amount as promised, it can create a situation of bad faith. It is illegal for these companies to no follow through on their end of your contract or agreement, especially if you have kept up your end of the payments.
In his time as an attorney for the defenseless, he has worked with his partner, Bryan Baer, to obtain over 26 million in settlements. With results like this, it is no wonder that he was been named as a Rising Star in Georgias list of Super Lawyers in 2006 and again in 2009-2012. Recently in March of 2012, he was also included in the National Trial Lawyers Top 40 under 40 list for his great work and devotion to his clients.
