Wonderful experience with Michael Holberg

I contacted Michael Holberg in desperation. My father had passed away 10 years ago and one of his annuities had been tied up. What had happened was that his second wife was the first in line to receive the inheritance and I was 2nd but she had predeceased him so I was in line to receive this benefit.... Unfortunately, the doctor had made a mistake on one of the death certificates and the birth date of my father's second wife was slightly different. In any case, the lawyers handling the estate in New York did not get me the money. I tried in different ways for 10 years without success. Finally the annuity company gave the money to New York State even though previously they had checked in with me periodically. So now I was facing the actual loss of the entire sum. I approached Michael Holberg and he was able to send a number of letters that somehow got this process moving again. We waited 3 months and then I received a check for the entire amount plus interest in the mail. What the lawyers in New York were unable to do in 10 years, Michael Holberg was able to accomplish in a little more than 3 months. I am incredibly grateful to him.

Excellent Attorney one of the kindess people I have ever met

I found Michael by Google search, the first appointment I had he talked with me, reviewed my situation and told me he didn't think I needed a lawyer as I had a ton of documentation to support my claim. Couple of things happened and I was being treated badly by my husbands family so I went back. This... time he said ok lets get to work. He stayed in touch with me through email, phone calls, texts while at his kids games. He took charge of the situation and within about 3 months my case was settled, he went beyond that portion and helped me resolve a couple of issues that were really important to me. He is honest, and so very kind. I would definitely recommend Michael to anyone needing a very knowledgeable attorney my case was Federal and he absolutely knew his stuff! After he is your attorney is also your friend, I will forever be grateful to him.

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.

Michael R. Holberg

When my brother passed away in Alabama, I had no idea what to do for I live in Louisiana. Michael was kind enough to accept us as clients. Michael was in constant contact with me throughout the entire process of probate. He is a professional in every sense of the word. Michael's caring and compassion... for me was evident every time we met. I trust him completely with any legal work to be done. He is thorough and honest in all matters. Michael settled the estate in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Michael for any legal work needed.

KNOWLEDGE, INTEGRITY and COMPASSION!

Michael took every ounce of a potentially very stressful situation for me, off of my shoulders...with the utmost intregrity and skill! Through his constant communication and willingness to "break it down" in terms I could understand, I quickly felt a sense of trust and ease so important in a client/a...ttorney relationship. I could not be more pleased and I truly thank him for his excellent service. I will definitely be calling on him for my future legal needs. I highly recommend Michael Holberg!
