We have worked with Mark a couple of times on our family estate and both times it was productive, instructive, and enjoyable. His office staff was courteous and timely. Mark’s presentation was complete, very much to the point, and his explanations were easy to follow and understand.

Mark Drobny did our trust 20 years ago and advised us it needed a revision due to recent federal law changes. He is very professional and explains legal issues clearly and simply. His rates are very reasonable and his office staff are very helpful.

Mark has been a pleasure to work with on both our original 2008 family trust and the 2020 revision. He was personable, highly knowledgeable, and gave clear explanation to all our questions. The process of updating our trust was handled in a timely, professional manner. My wife and I are very appreciative of Mark and his staff for all their efforts. We highly recommend Mark to anyone.

My wife and I were introduced to Drobny Law Offices via an NPR webinar session and we were impressed with Mark's presentation. We took the next step and scheduled a follow-up conference call with Mark. Even more impressed we commissioned a full package of Living Trust / Wills / Advanced Health Care Directive / Power of Attorney for Financial Affairs and we recently completed the process. We are completely satisfied and very appreciative that Drobny Law was able to explain everything to us and accomplish our plan for a great value. Two Enthusiastic Thumbs Up!

My husband and I attended an estate planning seminar for the Sacramento SPCA. Mark Drobny gave a thorough presentation and we made an appointment. He worked with us to set up a living trust. We had a great experience and have recommended him to friends and family members. Highly recommend him!

My wife and I began working with Mark approximately 12 years ago and have found him to be of the highest professional caliber; prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, honest and remarkably pleasant to be around. His staff has organizational skills that every business professional should be envious of. Both my wife and I sleep better at night knowing our estate/trust/will has been carefully planned and executed by this brilliant attorney.

After attending one of Mark's presentations we were very impressed. We originally worked with him to set up our Trust in 2008 and recently completely revised it. What has always impressed us about Mark is his thorough understanding of wills and trusts and his excellent communication skills on sometimes difficult areas of estate law. Through the years, he has always be responsive to our needs in a timely fashion. We continue to recommend him highly to all of our friends.

Mark had previously help set up an S corp for us. I had him prepare a living trust, will and other documents as part of our estate planning. He was very knowledgeable and explained all aspects to us with examples that made the process very understandable to the lay person. He is the best attorney I have every used.
