Highly recommend!

Michael was referred to us by a mutual friend & we are so thankful that happened! He guided us & represented us through the guardianship of our adult daughter with special needs. During this time of social distancing, he made this process smooth and stress free for our daughter as well as us. He i...s superb! We are forever grateful!

Excellent Attorney one of the kindess people I have ever met

I found Michael by Google search, the first appointment I had he talked with me, reviewed my situation and told me he didn't think I needed a lawyer as I had a ton of documentation to support my claim. Couple of things happened and I was being treated badly by my husbands family so I went back. This... time he said ok lets get to work. He stayed in touch with me through email, phone calls, texts while at his kids games. He took charge of the situation and within about 3 months my case was settled, he went beyond that portion and helped me resolve a couple of issues that were really important to me. He is honest, and so very kind. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone needing a very knowledgeable attorney my case was Federal and he absolutely knew his stuff! After he is your attorney is also your friend, I will forever be grateful to him.

COMPETENCE, COMPASSION, SKILL

After the murder of my former partner (we split 30 years ago) I found myself in a delicate position of handling his estate with children my partner had not been in contact with for decades and relatives that I had not talked to in decades. To make it even more complicated I live 500 miles away from ...Mobile and my former partner had nothing prepared for an estate. Michael gave me clear directions on what I needed to do, responded quickly to my inquiries, dealt with the fractured family situation delicately and skillfully resolved difficult situations with life insurance. During the whole process he was responsive to my inquiries, clear on what he would do and I needed to do as well as always being respectful and caring.

Michael R. Holberg

When my brother passed away in Alabama, I had no idea what to do for I live in Louisiana. Michael was kind enough to accept us as clients. Michael was in constant contact with me throughout the entire process of probate. He is a professional in every sense of the word. Michael's caring and compassion... for me was evident every time we met. I trust him completely with any legal work to be done. He is thorough and honest in all matters. Michael settled the estate in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Michael for any legal work needed.

THE BEST Attorney in town!

Upon the death of my Father, it became apparent that I would need legal consultation. After much research, we found Michael Holberg. I honestly did not know what to expect. He immediately set my mind to ease. He is an attorney that makes himself available and never makes you feel insignificant. He g...enuinely cares, is honest, and so knowledgeable. He is a very fine attorney with a brilliant legal mind. Honesty and fairness mean a lot to me. This firm has it in spades. I would be remiss, if I did not recommend him to everyone. Retaining Mr. Holberg was the best and smartest decision. Call him! You will be talking with the best in town!

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.
