Mark Drobny and his Law Firm really assisted me in handling an estate for which I was the Executor. Never having served as an Executor, the lawyers assigned to me were great in helping through all of the legal actions. The Legal Assistant was extremely helpful in explaining the legal process.

I worked mainly with MIchelle Ruiz, paralegal, as the executor of a friend's estate, after her attorney moved. She was very informative and responsive to all my questions as a novice in handling the trustee duties.

We were referred to Mark to help us update our trust. He's knowledgeable, friendly and trusting. His staff is prompt in returning calls and emails. Our trust was updated in a timely manner and we are very appreciative of his services.

I approached Drobny Law because a person I trust recommended him, but I am STAYING with him because of the man himself. This is a highly ethical, knowledgeable and respected practice with offices in multiple locations. The reasons for my visit were emotional and stressful, but I was immediately put at ease. The information gathered was requested in a respectful and timely manner, and so the appointment itself was stress-free.

Mark Drobny has been our lawyer for 30 years, first handling our simple wills and last year putting a trust in place for us. This year we had an emergency situation with our elderly mother requiring many legals documents to be put into place quickly in order to ensure her care. My sisters and I sat down with Mark and had all our anxiety eased by his expert advice and assistance. His assistance resulted in a stable and secure situation. Thank you Mark!

I have been a client since 2011. We established a trust, then when the state law changed, we amended it to suit. Now that my husband has passed, I again enlisted Drobny Law for assistance with his estate administration. Lots of things a surviving spouse has to do, so it was invaluable to learn all the things to do in the right way. Fees for this assistance were EXTREMELY reasonable!! Upon my recommendation, my sister is also now a client.

I met Mark at a seminar he was giving and was very impressed with his vast knowledge in estate planning. I have been trying to get my affairs in order for years and am so happy now that I (and my family) have everything we need in case I exit this planet. Thank Mark for an excellent and thorough job!

I was impressed with Mr. Drobny's depth of knowledge about wills and trusts (and particularly their tax implications). He was very patient with my questions and was clearly motivated to tailor my will and trust to do exactly what I wanted them too. The fees for his services were more than reasonable given the level of service provided. I especially appreciated his help in funding my trust, and am delighted that an annual review is part of the will and trust package.

My wife and I greatly appreciate the work Mark and his team did to put our estate planning and trust documents in place. Everyone at the Drobny Law Offices were friendly and very responsive to our estate planning questions. Work was done in a very timely fashion and in a very professional manner.
