We first used Mark Drobny to establish our trust in 1997 and recently had the entire document amended. Mark has always been easy to work with and he explains the details of how the trust and other estate planning documents work. Mark and everyone in his office that I have worked with are quick to respond and efficient. The fees charged are very reasonable, especially for repeat clients. I would recommend Mark and his firm to anyone who has estate planning needs.

Mr. Drobny really listened to us and understood our needs. He was respectful and easy to talk to. Our living trust was very important to us and his handling of it met all our expectations and beyond. We would highly recommend his services to all.

Mark was recommended to me by my financial counselor and he was all that he said he would be. Honest, courteous and very informative. He seems to know his law in the area of trusts and wills and I was pleasantly pleased with his performance. I had a lot of questions and he answered them all in a manner that I could understand.

We worked with Mark on our living trust 10 years back and he made it easy to consolidate our accounts under the living trust umbrella; in fact, his company does all the work so you just have to sign the document when you go in to review. Small changes can be made via email for no cost. His price for putting together a living trust is on the high side but considering all the work his firm does for you and all the up-to-date knowledge he has, totally worth it!

We chose Mr. Drobny to write our family trust because of recommendations by our financial advisors. At the time, an A/B trust was recommended and implemented. With the changes in the laws, we returned to Mr. Drobny to review and revise our trust. Mr. Drobny helped us to decide on how to best revise our trust and make sure that we had a trust that we understand and are comfortable with. We have consulted with Mr. Drobny and his office several times and have found them to be professional, accurate, responsive and most importantly, understandable! We have referred friends to him in the past and will in the future. Thank you for your help!

Get it done. Upon recommendation we selected Mr. Drobny to do our Trust. Upon meeting Mr. Drobny we knew we had picked the right firm for the job. He is very knowledgeable and easy to understand. Never going over our heads with all the legal jargon. He will have thoughts and questions you may have never considered. Suggest you do some home work before you go in and it will make your experience even better.

After hearing his Estate Planning presentation at UOP, which I found to be very informative, I sought his services to establish my living trust. I felt at ease during our initial consultation and was quite impressed by his knowledge, professionalism, and candor. He and his staff were thorough and efficient in facilitating the process with me from start to finish. It was money well spent.
