TESTIMONIALS


  • “I spoke to Erik Broel on March 11, 2014 concerning my husband who died last month. He died with no will, assets, insurance or heirs. But I was having a problem with his bank regarding closing his personal checking account, (less than $500) because the bank wanted something from probate court. Mr. Broel pointed me to a section of the Banking Code which allowed me to close his account with no further hindrance from the bank. I had, for 3 weeks, been trying to close his account and Mr. Broel, with his expertise, solved my problem in one short phone call. Thanks to him, this is one more problem I can cross off my list. Mr. Broel is a keeper. Thank you sir!!!”

  • “I would highly recommend GPLG to anyone needing assistance dealing with a legal probate matter. Their team worked diligently to provide me with help in my time of need. My questions were answered in a timely manner and the legal procedures were explained to me in a way that I could easily understand.

    I was treated with respect and patience in a time when I was not only grieving a loss, but also needed guidance navigating foreign territory. Their help was much appreciated.”

    Ursula Thiel

  • “After my mother’s passing it seemed an impossible task to probate her estate in Georgia when I live in Texas. I felt lost before I started working with Georgia Probate Law Group group, but they helped me settle everything correctly and legally. This has taken away all of the anxiety and stress of being out of state.

    My legal team at Georgia Probate Law Group communicated with me effectively and helped guide me through the probate of my mom’s estate. They were knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate throughout this difficult process. I have been so pleased and thankful that I chose Georgia Probate Law Group.”

    Kurt Mcwilliams

  • “I recently engaged the services of Georgia Probate Law Group for handling the probate of my late relative’s estate, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The entire team was incredibly knowledgeable and guided me through every step of the complex probate process with ease and confidence. Their professionalism was evident from our first meeting, and they consistently demonstrated a deep understanding of estate law.
    Communication was outstanding; they were always available to answer my questions and provided clear, detailed explanations, ensuring I fully understood each stage of the process. Their compassionate approach made a challenging time much more manageable, and I felt genuinely supported throughout.
    Thanks to Georgia Probate Law Group’s expertise and meticulous attention to detail, the probate process was completed smoothly and efficiently. I am extremely grateful for their exceptional service and highly recommend them to anyone in need of probate or estate legal assistance. They truly went above and beyond to ensure a positive outcome.”

    Carrie Wagner

  • “My husband and I found Mr Broel to grasp our situation and needs quickly. He answered all our questions and guided us through the process of proceeding with probate 5 months after my mother’s passing and having the appointed executrix walk away from her responsibilities. Every action required and taken was fully explained to us and how it was part of the process. He, or a staff person, answered all phone calls and/or emails promptly.”

    Kathy Kirby

  • “Georgia Probate Law Group did a very good job when it came to sorting out issues with estate of my grandfather as well as my grandmother. There was property that was in limbo with documentation and the GPLG was able to sort things out and get everyone to the table to hash out the details.

    The communication by the legal team handling the estate was excellent. They were very detailed and made sure that all parties involved understood the process and steps that needed to be taken. I also want to commend their billing department because as we all know lawyers are expensive, but I must say that is you communicate with GPLG they will work with you if you are having some financial issues. I highly recommend them.”

    Beau Snell

  • “Georgia Probate Law Group provided exceptional service during a difficult time. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They guided us through the probate process with ease, answering all our questions and ensuring we understood every step. Their expertise in probate law was evident and gave us peace of mind. We highly recommend Georgia Probate Law Group for anyone needing assistance with probate matters.”

    Airfonzie Peterson

  • “This is a group that really knows its way around the probate system. They care I worked with Dave Dupee and Dewey Vick. They have a number of years between them and they navigated me through everything. Be aware that you pay for their care, but good legal representation isn’t free. They don’t do anything that isn’t warranted. I have been thrilled with the care they have given.”

    Doug Black

  • “My family and I are very happy with the Georgia Probate Law Group. Our case is still pending but Dave and Joanne are very patient with us and explain the process as we go along.”

    Meloney Shirley

  • “The legal team is very courteous, knowledgeable, responds quickly to inquiries, and explains all matters thoroughly. They have been very professional and easy to work with. This case has not been settled at this time but we don’t foresee any matters they will not be able to handle. The compassion and respect shown to clients makes a difficult time easier to deal with.”

Georgia Probate Law Group - probate is complicated

Probate is complicated.

We believe in settling an estate or trust fairly and making the process as simple and easy to understand as possible.

Sometimes, that means helping administer and settle an estate or trust peacefully, while other times, it means aggressively litigating a situation in court. Other times, we help with estates and trusts that are somewhere in between those two extremes.

Our staff is friendly, helpful, and here for you. We care about our clients and help you understand your situation, make a plan, and ensure that things are done fairly and right.
