Probating Will

Mr. Gary Klepak helped us write our wills many years ago. My husband died on 2-5-2023 and Mr Klepak probated his will for me. He and his wife did an excellent job! I recommend him to any one needing an attorney.

Probate

The past few years have been extremely emotional for me in losing both of my parents and my brother. Understanding that my parents did not have a living will, I needed to seek out an attorney for assistance with probate. I am so fortunate that I came across Mr. Klepak information passing by his offic...e in Columbus, Ga. His team is very nice and professional, provided guidance and assisted me through the entire process at an affordable price. I will recommend and refer all my family members and friends in need of his assistance. Thank you so much for your help. Larry

Excellent attorney

Gary Klepak has helped me twice for probate issues and legal advice. He is very professional, thoroughly explains options and procedures. Highly recommend him.

A Professional Estate Attorney

Mr. Klepak oversaw a fairly complicated Will Probate for me that another attorney failed to complete due to inattentiveness and incompetence. I was initially wary because of the previous attorney’s severe and rank ineptitude. That previous attorney was not one worth getting up early for. But Mr. Klep...ak allayed those concerns quickly by getting things done. He was upfront and concise. What he could do and what he couldn’t. What you, the client, can do and what you can’t. He responded to every email and phone call. And whenever something new happened; he didn’t hesitate to explain or make one aware. This other attorney, you could call and email early as possible, but would either not respond or would force you to talk to snarky secretaries. Not so with Mr. Klepak. He, or his wife, will get to you with the real answer and will explain everything to you without being vague nor unnecessarily abstract. His timelines were accurate and his rates are quite fair for his services. I wholeheartedly recommend Mr. Klepak. My case was emotionally draining and I had already had such a negative experience with an earlier attorney , but Mr. Klepak certainly worked hard, made no excuses, and was never unreachable. And he got results.

Review of Mr. Klepak

Mr.Klepak and staff handled my mom’s probate of her estate. From the very first call they we’re always very nice and helpful. They would always answer any questions I had even after everything was settled. They helped make the most difficult thing I had to do so much easier and I am forever grateful ...for their help

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
