Vicki Davis
“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.”

Anonymous Client
“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!!!”

Beau Snell
“Georgia Probate Law Group did a very good job when it came to sorting out issues with estate of my grandfather as well as my grandmother. There was property that was in limbo with documentation and the GPLG was able to sort things out and get everyone to the table to hash out the details.
The communication by the legal team handling the estate was excellent. They were very detailed and made sure that all parties involved understood the process and steps that needed to be taken. I also want to commend their billing department because as we all know lawyers are expensive, but I must say that is you communicate with GPLG they will work with you if you are having some financial issues. I highly recommend them.”

“I would highly recommend GPLG to anyone needing assistance dealing with a legal probate matter. Their team worked diligently to provide me with help in my time of need. My questions were answered in a timely manner and the legal procedures were explained to me in a way that I could easily understand.
I was treated with respect and patience in a time when I was not only grieving a loss, but also needed guidance navigating foreign territory. Their help was much appreciated.”

About Us
Single-Minded Dedication That Gets Results
Georgia Probate and Estate Law is our focus and passion.
It’s what we do, our bread and butter, day in and day out. This single-minded dedication is what makes us the best in this field.
We work in every county within the State of Georgia and help individuals and families from all over the United States. When a family member passes away, our team is there to help you through one of the most difficult times you will face.
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.
