Joseph Charles Somma

I found Joseph C. Somma, PC in late 2022 while searching for an Alabama probate/estate attorney. After my grandfather passed in October 2023 and left his estate to my grandmother (his wife of 58 years), family dynamics quickly became complicated. As the oldest grandchild, I had to step in—grieving, o...verwhelmed, and unsure where to begin. From my very first call, Joseph was welcoming, patient, and genuinely curious about our situation. He took the time to explain every step in plain English, never once making me feel rushed or uninformed. When relatives began seeking access to funds intended for my grandmother, Joseph guided me—kindly but firmly—through the proper legal steps to protect her from financial exploitation. With his counsel, I obtained the legal authority I needed to care for her, and he remained steady and compassionate when she passed away two weeks later in December 2023. Nearly three years from my initial outreach, we’re finally nearing the finish line on my grandparents’ estate, and Joseph has consistently treated me with dignity, clarity, and care. What sets Joseph apart is his combination of expertise and humanity. He is responsive, ethical, and meticulous—translating complex Alabama probate law into actionable next steps, anticipating issues before they became emergencies, and keeping my grandparents’ wishes at the center of every decision. Because of Joseph, I could navigate this process with confidence rather than fear of the unknown—freeing me to focus on honoring the two most important people in my life. If you’re seeking a probate/estate attorney in Alabama who will protect your loved one’s legacy with skill, compassion, and strategic foresight, hire Joseph C. Somma. He’s the advocate you hope to find on your hardest day.

My sister passed away unexpectedly and Joe was the first person I called and thankfully my hunt for an estate attorney was over. Joe has truly gone above and beyond to help me understand how Probate works and just how much leg work is involved. I personally, didn't have a clue as to just how much wor...k goes into all this stuff...... short & sweet I couldn't have accomplished everything for my sister's estate with Joe. Thanks again!

It is not easy in Alabama for a father to get full custody of his daughter. Mr. Sommas was relentless in my case, and we won. In my opinion, he worked far over and above the money I paid, in order to make sure that my daughter was in a safe and stable environment, which is with me. He does not remind... me of most other lawyers I have met or dealt with. He really cares about his cases and the people involved. He is passionate about children. I was very pleased with my entire experience, and I will not use any other family law attorney in the future besides Mr. Sommas. He has also done my will and trust for my daughter and went above and beyond to make sure she will be cared for in the even that something happens to me. I highly recommend him.
