Excellent communication skills - carefully explained everything regarding my living trust in great detail. All papers were prepared according to my wishes and transfer of accounts and property to the trust was seamless.

Mr. Drobny is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, timely and very personable. I would not hesitate to refer my friends and family to Mr. Drobny. In fact, he has set up the trusts for the estates of my mother, sister and myself as well as a number of my friends both in the dental field and otherwise. He is generous with his time and knowledge. He has set up seminars for elders and he donates of his legal work for our local SPCA. He is a consummate professional with a heart.

Very professional, both mr. Drobny and all of his staff. Minor trust changes are simple and fast. Recommend him 100%.

Efficient and timely responses.
Practical pragmatic solutions.
Helped me with my own Trust, then a new Trust when I got married, and ad hoc assistance in settlement of my father's estate when I served as successor trustee. He helped, I did most of the work, he weighed in when beneficiaries argued. We substantively settled the $1M contentious estate in 6 months at minimal cost.

I had visited various presentations on estate planning by other attorneys, etc.
I finally settled on Mr Drobny after researching the subject, costs, quality of the service including the estate plan as well as the continuing support program. I determined that the price I paid for this service was very reasonable and that the other parties presentations were of much less overall value.
My wife and I are both completely comfortable in dealing with Mr. Drobny and his staff.

Mark was referred to us by our investment broker several years ago. We put off making an appointment until it was almost too late. When my husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer we needed to get our affairs in order very quickly. Mark was very sensitive to our needs and what we accomplished in a short time was amazing. We met on a Sunday and by Monday morning his staff had the will/advanced directive/power of attorney for both of us ready. At such a stressful time, they were wonderful.
