TESTIMONIALS


  • “Georgia Probate Law Group provided exceptional service during a difficult time. Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate.

We highly recommend Georgia Probate Law Group for anyone needing assistance with probate matters.”

  • “I spoke to Erik Broel on March 11, 2014 concerning my husband who died last month. He died with no will, assets, insurance or heirs. But I was having a problem with his bank regarding closing his personal checking account, (less than $500) because the bank wanted something from probate court. Mr. Broel pointed me to a section of the Banking Code which allowed me to close his account with no further hindrance from the bank. I had, for 3 weeks, been trying to close his account and Mr. Broel, with his expertise, solved my problem in one short phone call. Thanks to him, this is one more problem I can cross off my list. Mr. Broel is a keeper. Thank you sir!!!”

    Anonymous Client

  • Because of Erik Broel’s dedication and professionalism, my family’s experience of unexpectedly losing a loved one was not made more emotionally traumatic. He lead and advised us at every step of the legal process, as well as outlining potential challenges. Erik also guided my family in making informed decisions during the case, avoiding unnecessary time and added expense.

    Erik protected my family members from losing property, and money that was rightfully theirs. Additionally, he suggested that the settlement account for appropriate expenses (which had not occurred to me). Erik worked diligently ensuring that my family was in a position to succeed.

    His sole purpose is achieving the best result for those he represents. Erik Broel literally takes the defense of his client’s interests personally.”

  • “GPLG provided the help I needed as executor in working through the probate process of my father’s estate. The team assigned provided legal assistance in matters regarding the estate which I needed their expertise to align with the probate process.

    The relationship was very helpful in working through legal issues and ultimately ensuring proper closure to the estate with filing the closing with the probate court. I would recommend GPLG no matter where you are in the process or regardless of how much assistance you think you need. It is nice to know that you can depend on having a qualified team at your side each step of the way.”

    Ken Timmerman

  • “The legal team is very courteous, knowledgeable, responds quickly to inquiries, and explains all matters thoroughly. They have been very professional and easy to work with. This case has not been settled at this time but we don’t foresee any matters they will not be able to handle. The compassion and respect shown to clients makes a difficult time easier to deal with.”

    Vicki Davis

  • “Georgia Probate Law Group was the best choice to handle the probate process efficiently. At my first contact, I was reassured and confident they were going to work for what was in my best interest. Regular contact and availability great throughout the process! I first tried to start the process on my own. Don’t make the same mistake! Let Georgia Probate Law Group’s professionals help you during your difficult time for peace of mind and get it right the first time.”

    William Duck

  • “Georgia Probate Law Group was able to help my mom and family settle my loved one’s estate. They were knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate throughout this difficult process.
    My legal team at Georgia Probate Law Group communicated with me effectively and helped guide me through the probate of my loved one’s estate. I felt lost before I started working with this group, but they helped me settle everything correctly and legally.
    They are truly professional and understand the difficulty that family members can go through during this difficult time.”

    Nick Patel

  • “This law firm handled everything way beyond what the others would do. Erik’s staff and the way everything was handled so professional. I could write a book about why you should use this Firm. All you have to do is call them you will see right away how quickly they handle your case. I have never had the opportunity to deal with such a great Law Firm. Anyone can ask me any question they want and I’ll tell them why they need Erik to handle their case. Thank You so much for your services!”

    Rob

  • I can state that Erik is a consummate professional whose consultative style is second to none. He has an effortless manner about him that engenders trust and security, which only increases when he delivers the results you need. And Erik delivers. He’s the kind of guy that stands out from other attorneys that I’ve encountered– and trust me, I interviewed several before going with Erik.

    One of the things I like best about Erik is that he’s an intense bulldog when it comes to getting the job done, yet he also has a soft sincerity that’s built on how much he cares for his clients. That’s rare, but that’s Erik in a nutshell. He is a problem-solver who un-ties the most complex knot of an issue with an elegant and intuitive simplicity. I would highly recommend Erik Broel for anyone looking for a passionate and highly-competent attorney with heart.”

    Eric Y.

Georgia Probate Law Group - probate is complicated

Probate is complicated.

We believe in settling an estate or trust fairly and making the process as simple and easy to understand as possible.

Sometimes, that means helping administer and settle an estate or trust peacefully, while other times, it means aggressively litigating a situation in court. Other times, we help with estates and trusts that are somewhere in between those two extremes.

Our staff is friendly, helpful, and here for you. We care about our clients and help you understand your situation, make a plan, and ensure that things are done fairly and right.
