Testimonials

  • “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.”

    Stephen L.
  • “I can gladly and highly recommend Mr. Broel! He has handled several different issues for me and my family in the recent past. He worked on our behalf with probate, with the close of an estate and transfer a business after the death of a family member. We put our trust in him and we were not disappointed. He was very thorough and meticulous with our cases and helped to put us at ease during a very stressful time. I would not hesitate to go to him in time of need again.”

    Tere Mascali
  • “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!!!”

I first tried to start the process on my own. Don’t make the same mistake!

    William Duck
  • “He was very kind and I felt like he really cared about what I needed, not just another case.”

    Sandra Stokes
  • “This is a group that really knows its way around the probate system. They care I worked with Dave Dupee and Dewey Vick. They have a number of years between them and they navigated me through everything. Be aware that you pay for their care, but good legal representation isn’t free. They don’t do anything that isn’t warranted. I have been thrilled with the care they have given.”

    Doug Black
  • “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.”

    Ursula Thiel
  • “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

    F Slaton

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.
