I was immediately impressed with Mark's professionalism and knowledge during our initial meeting. It was clear to me he understood the tricky and often emotional issues around amending or redoing a trust. I felt at ease with him fairly quickly and knew I found the right man to create a more robust trust, giving me maximum flexibility to change charities and other beneficial interests easily. He offers free ongoing support for periodic review of the Trust since changes are inevitable as life itself changes. I recommend Mark and his team without any reservtionsd whatsoever.

Mark helped us create our living wills, healthcare directives and put our property into a trust,. In order to make complex topics easy to understand you must first have a deep knowledge of the topic. Mark easily explained all aspects of law in an objective and efficient way that not only made them easy to understand but enjoyable to complete. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for advice

We asked Mr. Drobny to revise our wills and Trusts for us, having been written previously by a different attorney in another location. We found him to be extremely easy to work with. He is friendly, thorough, comprehensive, and very knowledgeable. He communicated very clearly in a manner that we could understand. My wife and I both concluded that he is the best lawyer with whom we have ever worked, and we've had several through the years.

My wife and I have engaged Mr Drobny to help us prepare our Wills, Family Trust, and Powers of Attorney for Financial Management and Advance Health Care Directives. Throughout the entire estate planning process, Mr Drobny has explained options and recommendations in a very understandable manner. He has proven to be highly knowledgeable and empathetic. He and his office team have kept us informed throughout the process, and have responded to questions in a very timely manner. We have no hesitation in recommending Mr Drobny in respect of all aspects of estate planning.

Mark explained everything so it was clear to both myself and my wife. All paperwork was completed and I had the binder Mark put together with everything in it by the end of the following week. Great experience.

Mark has been our attorney for 20 years. He put together our trust and as life moved forward modified the trust to fit our current needs. Now that we are retired we needed more modifications of the trust with the arrival of grandchildren. Mark's knowledge of on issues of taxes and trusts are unmatched. He is prompt, accurate, charges a fair price, and to top it all off he and everybody in his office just nice folks. You can't do better than Drobny!!!!

I give Mark Drobny of Drobny Law Offices 5 stars for doing an excellent job preparing my Will. As part of preparing my Will, he gave me bound copies of my Will, Restated Trust, Durable Powers of Attorney for Financial Management and Advance Health Care Directives. He included five (5) unbound copies of my Advance Health Care Directives to be given to my primary care physician and my agents and alternate agents for health care decisions. He retained the original documents in his office.
