Testimonials

Mike Sanders

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!!!”

“Georgia Probate Law Group was able to help me settle my mom’s estate. It is a complicated process, and I felt better knowing that the team could file the necessary documents so that we could settle quickly. They were responsive and thoroughly answered our questions and concerns.”

Eric Y.
“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.”

“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.”

“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!”

Kathy Kirby
“My husband and I found Mr Broel to grasp our situation and needs quickly. He answered all our questions and guided us through the process of proceeding with probate 5 months after my mother’s passing and having the appointed executrix walk away from her responsibilities. Every action required and taken was fully explained to us and how it was part of the process. He, or a staff person, answered all phone calls and/or emails promptly.”

Vicki F.
“I really do not think there is a finer or more caring group of professionals around. Thank you all for making the unbearable not so hard at all and the impossible all done. Each of you makes me feel as though I am not only your most important client but your only client, even though I know better.”

Catherine C.
“I cannot thank you all enough for what you did for me. When we started, if you remember, that was what I really wanted. The truth. We all worked together and got it. Thank you for much for that Erik! I love you guys so much and will forever be grateful for you.”

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.
