TESTIMONIALS


  • “Thank you. I appreciate your excellent work.”

    Hugh Bond

  • “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 have to share with you that I feel like you guys are handling things so professionally and even though it’s hard/time-consuming for me to produce the documents because it’s been so long ago and I either gave the documents to my former attorney or didn’t know to keep them, I really appreciate how the estate is being handled now. I’m thinking he (former atty) must have been using one of those big yellow books written about “_____ _____ for Dummies because the difference is night and day.”

    Gloria Mitchell

  • “I really do not think there is a finer or more caring group of professionals around. Thank you all for making the unbearable not so hard at all and the impossible all done. Each of you makes me feel as though I am not only your most important client but your only client, even though I know better.”

    Vicki F.

  • “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

  • “Georgia Probate Law Group was the best choice to handle the probate process efficiently. At my first contact, I was reassured and confident they were going to work for what was in my best interest. Regular contact and availability great throughout the process! I first tried to start the process on my own. Don’t make the same mistake! Let Georgia Probate Law Group’s professionals help you during your difficult time for peace of mind and get it right the first time.”

    William Duck

  • “Georgia Probate Law Group was a blessing to me and my family. After speaking with them I knew that they would be the lawyers to help us. They were fast, efficient, knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed working with them in getting our property ready for sale. If I had a question or concern, they talked to me and made sure that I understood all that was involved.

    They answered my calls immediately and never acted like I was intruding or that they didn’t have time to talk to me. I highly recommend Georgia Probate Law Group. You couldn’t find a better group.”

    Shelia Morrow

  • “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!!!”
