GeorgiaSocial Security Disability
The Social Security Disability process is long, confusing, and exhausting. Most people do not even know where to start. And the Social Security Administration does not exactly make it easy. The paperwork alone can feel like a full-time job – but you are not well enough to work, which is why you are filing in the first place. That is a painful place to be.
Our team helps clients with Social Security Disability claims from the very beginning. You do not have to be denied before you can call us. We will sit down with you, learn your situation, and help you build the strongest possible claim from day one.
Because Social Security Disability falls under federal law, we can help clients anywhere in the country. No matter where you live, you can work with us.
We take a personal approach here. You will have direct contact with your attorney. You will not be handed off to a paralegal and left wondering what is happening with your case. We believe you deserve better than that.

- SSDI Title II claimsFor workers who have paid into Social Security.
- SSI Title XVI claimsFor individuals with limited income and resources.

Personal Injury
When someone else's carelessness turns your life upside down, you should not have to fight the insurance companies on your own. Recovering from an injury is hard enough. Dealing with adjusters, paperwork, and denials on top of that is too much for anyone.
Our team handles personal injury cases across Georgia. Whether you were hurt in a car accident on I-285, injured in a slip and fall at a store in Midtown, or dealing with the aftermath of any other accident caused by someone else's negligence – we are ready to help.
We focus on non-litigation personal injury matters, meaning we work hard to get you a fair resolution without unnecessary delays. We keep you informed, answer your questions, and fight for what you deserve.
Georgia follows a modified comparative negligence rule under O.C.G.A. § 51-12-33. This means that as long as you are less than 50 percent responsible for your accident, you can still recover compensation. Having experienced legal representation matters when insurance companies try to shift blame your way.
Types of Cases We Handle
- Car accidents – including collisions on I-75, I-285, I-20, and throughout the Atlanta metro area
- Slip and fall accidents at businesses, commercial properties, and residential locations
- Premises liability – when a property owner's negligence causes you harm
- Other accidents caused by negligence throughout the state of Georgia
Trademarks
You have worked hard to build your brand. Your name, your logo, your slogan – those things matter. They represent you and everything you have put into your business. The last thing you want is someone else using what you have built without permission.

Estate Planning Attorney – Atlanta, Georgia
Most people put off estate planning because it feels like something you do "later." But the truth is, later is not guaranteed. And when families are left without a plan, they are often left with confusion, conflict, and legal processes that take far longer and cost far more than anyone expected.
Estate planning is not just for people who are older or who have a lot of money. It is for anyone who has people they love and things they want to protect. It is one of the most caring things you can do for your family.
Our team at Holcomb Law Group helps Atlanta-area clients and families across Georgia put a plan in place that reflects what they actually want – and makes things as simple as possible for the people they leave behind.
Under Georgia law (O.C.G.A. § 53-4-20), a valid will must be signed by the testator and witnessed by two competent witnesses. Our team makes sure every document we prepare meets Georgia's legal requirements so your plan holds up when it matters most.
We sit down with you, learn what your family looks like, and help you build a plan that makes sense for your life. We do not hand you a template and send you on your way. We ask the questions that matter and make sure the plan actually works.
Estate Planning Services We Offer
- WillsA legally binding document that spells out your wishes for your property and, if you have children, who will care for them.
- TrustsA planning tool that can help your family avoid probate, protect assets, and manage how and when your estate is distributed.

Probate Attorney – Atlanta, Georgia
Losing someone you love is one of the hardest things a person can go through. Unfortunately, the legal process does not pause for grief. Probate – the court-supervised process of settling a deceased person's estate – can feel overwhelming when you are already dealing with so much.
Our team is here to make the probate process as smooth as possible. We handle the legal work so you can focus on your family. We explain each step clearly, keep things moving forward, and make sure the estate is settled properly under Georgia law.
Probate in Georgia is handled through the Probate Court in the county where the deceased person lived. For Atlanta-area families, that typically means Fulton County, DeKalb County, Cobb County, or Gwinnett County – all courts our team is familiar with. We also serve families throughout the northern Atlanta suburbs, including Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta, Sandy Springs, and Johns Creek.
What the Probate Process Involves
- Filing the will with the appropriate Georgia Probate Court
- Petitioning to open the estate and appoint a personal representative (executor or administrator)
- Notifying creditors and beneficiaries as required by Georgia law
- Inventorying and valuing the estate's assets
- Paying valid debts and taxes from the estate
- Distributing remaining assets to the rightful heirs or beneficiaries
Do All Estates Have to Go Through Probate in Georgia?
Not always. Certain assets pass directly to beneficiaries without going through probate – things like life insurance policies with a named beneficiary, jointly held property with right of survivorship, and assets held in a trust. That said, if a person owned property solely in their name or did not have a complete estate plan, probate will likely be required.
This is one of the reasons estate planning matters so much. The right plan can help your family avoid probate entirely – or at least make the process much simpler.
Probate With or Without a Will in Georgia
If your loved one had a will, the probate process follows the instructions in that document. If there was no will – what Georgia law calls dying "intestate" – the estate is distributed according to Georgia's intestacy laws under O.C.G.A. § 53-2-1. In either case, our team can guide you through the process and make sure things are handled correctly.

Yes. We offer free consultations for all of our practice areas. Reach out through our online contact form to get started.
Can you help me if I do not live in Georgia?
It depends on the practice area. Social Security Disability is governed by federal law, so we can assist clients anywhere in the United States. Trademark law is also federal, and we serve clients in both Georgia and New York. Personal Injury, Estate Planning, and Probate services are currently limited to Georgia.
How do I know which practice area applies to my situation?
That is exactly what the free consultation is for. Tell us what is going on and we will let you know if we can help – and if we cannot, we will do our best to point you in the right direction.
What does it cost to work with Holcomb Law Group?
Fee structures vary by practice area. Social Security Disability fees are contingency-based and regulated by the federal government. Personal Injury cases are also handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning no fee unless we recover for you. Trademark, Estate Planning, and Probate fees will be discussed during your free consultation so there are no surprises.
