Knowledgeable and Friendly Lawyer

Michael has been both punctual and professional with my legal needs. I had issues with my late father's estate, which was tricky as he had retired to the UK and Spain but left a bank account in the US. Even with these added complications, Michael found all the answers. Not many lawyers would have tak...en the time to work through the intricacies of this estate, but Michael did it gladly at a great rate. He was very knowledgeable and was always readily available by phone or email when I had questions or concerns. I cannot recommend his services enough.

Five Start Rating

Very Knowledgeable, Extremely Professional, Success Oriented, and Caring! My family and I were referred to Michael Holberg and his dad, we desperately needed trusted professionals to assist us in the county of residence for our 105 year old Mother. We had a very complicated legal situation that requ...ired either a guardianship or conservatorship, according to the counsel we had been given. Michael and his dad used their legal genius to identify a faster and less costly option. Thanks to Holberg and Holberg we were able to successfully sell our Mother’s property in a timely manner so that we could continue to finance her long term health care. This was the miracle we had been praying for. We would enthusiastically recommend Michael and his dad to anyone needing expert legal assistance. We would not hesitate to engage their services, if we have a need in the future.

Mother's Estate

I hired Mr. Holberg to help with the handling of my mother's Estate after her passing. He was always extremely responsive, answered every question I had, and made a tedious and confusing process simple and understandable. Now that I have my mom's estate handled, my wife and I are also going to have h...im help us draw up wills so that everything is in order for our children.

Honest and ethical

Mr. Holberg assisted me with understanding my rights regarding my inheritance. He took his time to review documents, hear my situation, and to advise accordingly....all without charging me a dime. I trust him to be honest and ethical. At this junction, I chose not to retain his services but I know... who to call if my situation doesn't remedy itself. Thanks much Mr. Holberg.

Great communicator and persistent.

Michael Holberg handled an after probate transfer of property that involved negotiation with claimants as well as interaction with the attorney of the estate trustee. He communicated clearly and promptly regarding progress and frequently served as our advocate in working with other parties. He was ...persistent in assuring that action was taken to work toward resolution of the property transfer with a final result of a filed deed. We greatly appreciate his diligence in a challenging situation. We live out of state and his competence in handling the matter was very reassuring. We were extremely pleased with Mr. Holberg's service.

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.
