Attorney Michael Holberg is truly a praiseworthy lawyer.

Attorney Holberg is truly a praiseworthy lawyer. He is knowledgeable, intelligent, confident, and passionate about his client’s cases. He is honest and direct about the bounds of his area of practice and expertise and willing to refer you to a specialized attorney to assist if needed. This team ap...proach shows integrity and a commitment to the overall success of your case and your individualized needs. I especially appreciated him effectively explaining my options and key strategies for my case. He worked hard to gather information and research to enhance the options and strategies he proposed. Beyond being a highly skilled and extremely knowledgeable lawyer, Attorney Holberg exhibits rare vesting in his clients that puts you at ease about knowing that your case will be handled fully, professionally, and right the first time. I highly recommend Attorney Holberg and his law firm to my family and closest friends. In my experience, he was able to provide a level of service far greater than standard law firms. Attorney Holberg and his staff always responded to me in a professional and timely manner. He was thorough, strategic, empathetic, and personable. Attorney Holberg took the time to hear all of my concerns and clearly and concisely outlined all the different courses of action, including the positives and negatives of each choice. I felt empowered and encouraged. He resolved my problem quickly. I could not have asked for better representation. Working with Attorney Holberg was incredibly easy and the least stressful part of a very difficult situation. Without hesitation, I give Attorney Holberg my highest recommendation.

Five Start Rating

Very Knowledgeable, Extremely Professional, Success Oriented, and Caring! My family and I were referred to Michael Holberg and his dad, we desperately needed trusted professionals to assist us in the county of residence for our 105 year old Mother. We had a very complicated legal situation that requ...ired either a guardianship or conservatorship, according to the counsel we had been given. Michael and his dad used their legal genius to identify a faster and less costly option. Thanks to Holberg and Holberg we were able to successfully sell our Mother’s property in a timely manner so that we could continue to finance her long term health care. This was the miracle we had been praying for. We would enthusiastically recommend Michael and his dad to anyone needing expert legal assistance. We would not hesitate to engage their services, if we have a need in the future.

Highly Recommend

Our family in Florida needed an attorney in Alabama to protect our interests regarding an estate being probated. Mr. Holberg was very knowledgeable and always took the time to answer our questions. He had our back through this process and with his help we were able to get through all of the complicat...ed legal issues which we would not have been able to do on our own and the estate was probated successfully. I would definitely recommend Mr. Holberg to anyone in Alabama who has probate or estate issues.

Probate

Mr. Holberg was my personal representative in an out of state probate matter. He handled every aspect if this case with the upmost professionalism and expertise. He kept me well informed and handled the many complex matters very timely and thoroughly. The high level of skill he provided cannot b...e adequately expressed, except to say the results were excellent and I felt and had complete confidence in his outstanding work. I highly recommend Mr. Holberg for a probate matter.

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.
