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.

An extraordinary law firm!!! Would recommend Michael Holberg's firm to anyone!

The process of finding a law firm in Mobile, AL to probate my late mother's estate was difficult since we live in Florida , so my wife thoroughly searched the area for one with experience. What a find!!! I contacted Mr. Holberg via email, and within a very short period of time, he completed the "im...possible probate" (my sister, the only other heir, had refused to communicate), and we just received the proceeds from the Probate Judge. We so appreciate his expertise, he was extremely professional, 'on point' with everything he told us would happen, and we cannot praise him enough. My wife and I have learned a great deal with this experience, especially to read reviews instead of relying solely on recommendations from acquaintances before hiring a law firm to help with any legal issue. We highly recommend Mr. Holberg's firm!!! On a scale of 1-10, we give his firm a 'high 12'.

Estate of mother

Mr. Holberg has done an exceptional job handling my mother's estate. He was very knowledgeable. He kept my husband and I informed and up-to-date. I would highly recommend him to anyone of needing his expertise.

Thorough

Mr. Holberg came well recommended as the go to guy in probate court in Mobile. He lived up to that reputation in handling a complex probate case involving medical, financial, and legal issues. Michael was well-prepared for the hearings and handled examination of witnesses and argument well. He ...and his father Ralph know the law thoroughly. I knew what was going on at every step of the case because he kept me well informed.

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.
