Testimonials

  • “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.”

  • “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.”

    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.

    Nick Patel
  • “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
  • “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

Attorney Rogers and Dewey have been amazing through this process.”
