Georgia Probate Law Group Reviews

Pros

There is impeccable team work that is displayed every single day. We all strive to achieve the same overall goal, we all believe that team work makes the dream work. We all very clearly have the same drive to ensure that every client, potential client, and employee is consistently happy with the work we produce and the environment we work in. Working at Georgia Probate Law Group is knowing you are working with and for the best of the best. The leadership team constantly works to ensure that every employee feels valued and heard. They are very open to feedback. The culture is AMAZING. I am genuinely happy and excited to come to work every single day. This firm promotes from within, I have worked here for years and have been promoted from within. You have lots of opportunities to grow within the firm. You have the opportunity to expand your knowledge of how things work in Probate. I was trained by the CEO and I can confirm that I have learned more here than any other company I have worked for.

Cons

The work load can be intense at times, but in a law firm that is to be expected. GPLG is not a large corporation so at times we do expand our efforts beyond what our job description says giving you the opportunity to expand your original skill set. We work as a team, so when someone falls behind or is out, the rest of that department works together to pick up the slack.

Pros

Remote working, complex issues, genuinely collegial attorneys to work with

Cons

No skilled paralegals, lack of effective training structure, and policies change just as much as the staff. High turnover of the operations team.

Pros

I believe the owners and leadership team prioritize what is best for their employees. In my time with the firm I have always heard a compassionate tone towards clients and get the sense everyone wants to do what is right. The office culture is one of positivity and kindness towards each other and clients. Georgia Probate Law Firm is a small business, and as such will require employees to work outside of their primary scope of work at times. This is a great opportunity for new employees to gain additional skill sets. It's also often been said the office likes to recruit from within and I have seen this in action.

Cons

Work flow can be heavy at times but I consider this to be an industry standard in the legal community and an aspect of working for a small business.

Pros

The office provides lunch on Fridays. They hire capable and hard-working people. The CEO and his wife attempt to have team bonding activities and the attempt to make it look like they're your friends and they want it to be a family environment. Your immediate managers will try to stick up for you and have your back.

Cons

It would be a truly great company if it were not in the hands of the current owners. All of their workers really want to help other people, but the owners are only focused on money. They set impossible billing hours and impossible standards and when you fail they make it seem like it was your fault and you should have come to them with issues and problems you were having. If you did reach out to them, they tell you to "work harder" and do not provide you with help. They constantly create policies to make the firm " better" then forget said policies and then reprimand you for following it. Your job description changes constantly. They ask for your opinion then tear you to shreds when you provide them with your opinion. You bring up problems and issues and they just throw it under the rug. All I can say is that the client reviews are true.

Pros

There are a lot of growth opportunities. The management listens to any concerns in a non-judgmental approach. The pay is fair and there are bonus programs in place to raise your income. A staff meeting with free lunch is provided every Friday so the office can come together. The management helps you feel more like a community and family, rather than just an employee. They offer health, dental, and life insurance.

Cons

There aren't any 401K benefits.

Pros

I’m impressed with the very positive outlook and comments that are made by the CEO to his employees, it motivates the staff. The environment is made up with a friendly atmosphere where it’s easy to communicate with all staff levels. I enjoy working here, especially with Jenn and Erik Broel, they welcome new ideas and also challenge you.

Cons

A little loud at times when I’m trying to crunch numbers, the air temperature is challenge to work in at times.

Pros

I loved working at the GPLG. The owner, managers, and all your coworkers are professional, hardworking, and get along well with each other. The senior attorneys and owner are extremely knowledgeable about this area of law and are willing to mentor the junior attorneys.

Cons

The only con for me was the commute. I lived in Gwinnett County and commuting to downtown Marietta everyday was tiring in Atlanta traffic.
