Superb attorney! Honest, Knowledgable, Committed.

Michael litigated an extremely difficult Probate and Estate Case involving my deceased brother who was deceitfully taken advantage of during the last six months of life as his physical and mental health deteriorated. This was a nightmare as I am in Florida and all assets were about to go to a strang...er with an arrest history . This practice is professional, compassionate, readily available and father and son strategize to execute the best plan of attack. A friend and very prominent member of the Mobile community confirmed this is an honest family with a very reputable practice. Months after settlement, we still communicate. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The REAL Deal

After contacting more than a few attorneys, I came across Michael's profile on AVVO. He listened to my concerns, reviewed the background info I sent and provided quick, honest feedback. He was not about to take my case just for the paycheck and wanted me to clearly understand my options before hiri...ng him. My confidence in him was rewarded shortly thereafter. Michael always returned correspondence via email or phone in a timely manner. He is patient, professional and extremely knowledgeable in estate law. The subpoena he generated for me was successful and provided the peace of mind I sought. Michael did not rest until my mission was accomplished! I would not hesitate to use Michael's services again and highly recommend him to anyone requiring assistance with ensuring a will is executed properly.

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!

Responsive, friendly, and helpful attorney!

Michael is an excellent attorney! Our case is somewhat complicated and we live out of state. One thing that really stood out to me throughout my time working with Michael was that he was very quick to respond to me via a phone call and/or email. Michael just genuinely seemed to care and want to he...lp me. Michael always seemed willing to guide and direct me with our case to the best of his ability.

Excellent Attorney

How fortunate we were to have Michael Holberg as our attorney. After sustaining a significant personal injury, Mr. Holberg was able to honestly and effectively assist us, in a timely fashion, to achieve a proper and fair compensation for this case of corporate negligence. He always was respons...ive from our very first contact with him. He explained the options available to us, and probable outcomes. His expert people skills allowed him to successfully negotiate with the corporation in question, to achieve an excellent outcome in terms of fair compensation for our suffering. In short Michael Holberg is to be highly recommended as an attorney.

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.
