  • “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 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.”

  • “Georgia Probate Law Group was able to help me settle my brother’s estate. They were knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate throughout this difficult process. I want to personally mention David D. Dupree. He answered all my questions and was very attentive!”

    Lorraine Gobert
  • “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.”

    Kathy Kirby
  • “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.
  • “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.”

    Catherine C.
  • “After my mother’s passing it seemed an impossible task to probate her estate in Georgia when I live in Texas. I felt lost before I started working with Georgia Probate Law Group group, but they helped me settle everything correctly and legally. This has taken away all of the anxiety and stress of being out of state.

    My legal team at Georgia Probate Law Group communicated with me effectively and helped guide me through the probate of my mom’s estate. They were knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate throughout this difficult process. I have been so pleased and thankful that I chose Georgia Probate Law Group.”

    Kurt Mcwilliams
  • “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.”
