Professional, Prompt, and Prepared

Michael represented my brother & myself in the settling of our grandmother's estate. We had initially hired a different lawyer who completely wasted our time, but then we found Michael. Mr. Holberg did an excellent job with our case. He explained all of our options clearly, was extraordinarily prompt... with his actions and all around a pleasure to work with. He was quite thorough and handled all matters with professionalism. We have been very thankful for his knowledge and advice. Would absolutely hire him again should the need arise.

Professional and Knowledgeable Lawyer

Mr. Holberg represented me in a two-state probate case involving change of executor and state of residence. His knowledge and understanding of the right way to begin probate of my Mother's estate was both refreshing and helpful. During the probate process his counsel was always beyond reproach and... his manner genuine and warm. Mr. Holberg followed through on the numerous legal issues surrounding the estate and transfer of probate from one state to Alabama during the lengthy probate process. His continuing advice and updates were most welcome. I would definitely hire him again for any further legal needs.

Michael Holberg

Michael was very helpful with the court process in a final disbursement of my father's estate. It was a little complicated and we live in a different state, but he and his staff made it very simple for us. He took time to explain everything in detail and determined the best and quickest route to ta...ke. He was very accommodating to my schedule and stayed on top of the case, following up when necessary.

Outstanding Advice and Knowledge!!!!!

Outstanding experience overall! Michael was very responsive and was able to be reached quickly. He also has over 25 years of experience which was very apparent when discussing my situation. Would HIGHLY recommend without hesitation.

Responsive, attentive and efficient

Michael negotiated a family settlement for us in Mobile Probate court. Our experience although difficult due to the personal nature was positive and handled very professionally. Michael was responsive, attentive and efficient. He was good at tempering the emotions that can come with family interactio...n. His billing was reasonable and appropriate. I hope the occasion never arises, but if so, I would definitely use Michael Holberg again.

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.
