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.

Persistenent and Genuine

Contacted Mr. Holberg about 7months ago to take care of a family matter that was being incorrectly handled by another lawyer. Michael handled the delicate situation in the best interest of my family. With Michael's help and direction primary lawyer was able to close estate.

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 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.

Thorough, Energetic and Passionate

Michael and his father Ralph were fantastic. They showed passion for representing us at every angle, providing honest feedback throughout and had a never-ending drive to find out the truth in our case. Recommend for probate litigation!

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.
