Put my mind at ease and soothed my soul

I consulted Mr. Drobny although I had a will and a trust already. If you are searching for an attorney to do this, of course consider how long the person has been in practice, the reviews, etc., but also what will happen to your estate when your LAWYER DIES. This office has been around a long time; a...lso Mr. Drobny has a larger practice that includes younger partners. As I wrote in a Martindale-Hubbell review, I sought out Drobny Law because of a trusted friend's recommendation, but I'll STAY with him because of the relationship we have now. My spouse has been diagnosed Alzheimer's, and I was concerned that I could seek the best care, not go broke in the process, and protect him in case I got hit by a bus. Mr. Drobny was more than familiar with my concerns and was very efficient as well as compassionate. He made my return appointment at a very convenient time of day as I live far from his location, and traffic was a major concern. He explained everything patiently, and I did not feel that he talked down to me or rushed me. He is professional and ethical, yet approachable. The information requested was clear and made the process very easy and painless. I arrived worried and left relieved. I recommend him whole-heartedly and completely without reservation.

Smart, efficient and easy to work with

Mark was a pleasure to work with. He clearly knew the subject matter and was able to make complex concepts clear. The work was done efficiently and all deadlines were met. He was very accessible when we had questions. We are completely satisfied with the final products.

Mark Drobny feedback

My wife and I have used Mark Drobny for estate planning since 2007. He is exceptional and clearly a subject matter expert in the field of Estate Planning. We have had to revise our estate plans and associated paperwork periodically and every time the process has gone very smoothly. The communicati...on from Mark and his staff is timely and detailed and that results in very efficient use of both his and our time. The legalese's in the estate plan are exceptionally thorough and are designed to cover all conditions no matter how remote or unlikely. Also, Mark has the patience to answer my many questions and believe me, when I don't understand something I ask questions until I do. The final product of his work is an impressive binder of information that we can file way knowing our estate is properly prepared in the event of our passing. In addition, I've had the opportunity to observe Mark in both professional and private settings and he always conducts himself in an honorable fashion. Lastly, he gives back to numerous local agencies by donating significant amounts of this time to charitable causes.

Estate Planning

My wife and I just went through the estate planning process with Mark. As difficult and confusing as this process can be, we found working with Mark to be outstanding. The entire process was easy to understand, easy to follow and clearly met our goals. Mark is very personable, gives straightforwar...d answers to our questions and clearly has our back. We are extremely satisfied with the entire process and the steps Mark and his staff took to make this as easy as possible.
