Outstanding experiences with Drazen Rubin Law, LLC

Attorneys Drazen and Rubin and their team are exceptional to work with.  In addition to hiring them for three different services over the past several years, I have also attended their outstanding virtual events, including their recent full-day Caregivers symposium.  I have since been able to success...fully apply many strategies learned from attorneys Drazen and Rubin and from their symposium’s presenters, resulting in an increase in quality of life for the loved ones I am care giving for.  I look forward to working with Drazen Rubin Law for future Elder Law needs and also look forward to attending their priceless virtual events.

Great experience!

I hired the Drazen group for Estate and Trust. They were deeply knowledgeable and helpful.

Best Law Group EVER!!!

If you are looking for a law firm to handle an estate, The Franklin Drazen Law Firm is where you should stop and check out what they have to offer, set up some time to call them and meet with them before you choose someone else. I live in New Jersey and I have recently handled an estate of an... uncle who lived in Connecticut who used The Drazen Law Firm for all of his estate planning. When my Uncle was alive and appointed me the Executor of his estate he wanted me to meet with them so that when he did pass I would know them and they would know me. My first meeting with them went well and my uncle was certain he had made the right decision using the Drazen Law Firm. Well the unthinkable happened and he passed last year. I walked into The Drazen Law Group for the second time not knowing what I needed to do or how to go about taking care of things. I was emotionally upset, and not thinking straight. All those feelings went away quickly; Franklin, Steven and Patrick greeted me and spent the needed time with me going over everything. Over the next several months I felt like I was their only client; no matter when I called or needed them I was always given personal attention. Being out of state was not an issue; they worked with all my limitations and made going through this difficult time very easy for me. Now that the estate is finalized I actually miss talking to the team. I feel like we became family. I honestly don’t know how I would have done this without their support. I do know one thing, if there was ever a decision my uncle made in his 94 years, this was the best one! Thank you Franklin Drazen, Steven Rubin, and Patrick Yurga!!!
