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'.

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!

Mobile, AL 5 * Law Firm

Retained Holberg Law Firm in 2013. Just recently concluded legal representation in 2015. 2 years to get to know whether they had my best interest at heart. THEY DO! Very difficult complicated time where the bright legal minds @ Holberg Law Firm, Father, Son Team, 3rd generation Law Firm represented m...e in Circuit Court, Probate Court on 2 separate cases, and in Real Estate transactions. They did all this long distance, 2,000 + miles apart long distance> I had to travel 1 time to Mobile, AL. Efficient, Compassionate, Fair, Honest! What more can you ask for in a Law Firm? Call them Michael, son, or Ralph, father you will not regret it! Do not chance your case to someone without skills, as they have them.

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.

Mom's Estate

I had a transfer deed for my mom's house. Mr. Holberg told me it meant nothing and I had to file for probate. I took it to another lawyer and he said I did not have to go through probate. He told me that I should take my deed to the courthouse and file it. No probems at the courthouse. Beware.
