If it were possible, we’d give Mark Drobny more stars than five. Mark and his staff are professional, efficient, accurate, and supportive. Mark encouraged us to both get started and keep going on the long overdue task of developing a Revocable Living Trust. His support made all the difference. Another aspect of Drobny Law is that you become a lifetime member, so to speak, with check-ups, updates, and information continuing through each year. And, finally, Mark and all of his staff possess excellent communication skills. Drobny Law really makes you feel as though you are their only client. We have high confidence in Drobny Law and feel extremely lucky to have their service. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Drobny Law Offices.

Mark Drobney worked with us on our estate planning. He’s an expert in trusts; he’s thorough; he explains everything well; the documents he prepared for us make us confident that our wishes will be carried out exactly. He’s, of course, current on relevant case law. His decades of experience preparing trusts is reflected in the air-tight documents he prepares. He’s highly respected in the field. He was referred by my friend who attended a presentation he regularly gives to state employees on estate planning; she and her husband have been clients now for at least 20 years. Of the attorneys we interviewed and researched, Mark Drobney outranked them all. We are confident in our selection. The price for his services to meet with us, prepare the documents, and follow up is more than reasonable; it’s somewhat comparable to other attorneys we talked to except Mark’s cost includes more follow up. His staff are professional and followed up to confirm appointments etc

My experience with Attorney Mark S. Drobny was the very best. He made an ordeal I was going through easier to overcome than I ever thought it could be. He was clear and thorough in his explanations and, most importantly, he really cared about me as a person. I’m very grateful to have chosen him for legal services. I give him my highest recommendation.

My wife and I worked with Mark Drobny to establish a trust. Mark description of the process was clear, concise. He explained all aspects of the process and what to expect and our obligations. Mark was extremely professional and respectful. The experience was as stress free as we could have hoped for. All aspect of the process were laid out and documented. We were very fortunate to have chosen Mark and his practice for the formulation of our trust.

Fantastic experience with Mark Drobny and Drobny law services. I am an attorney myself (different field) and it's refreshing to work with a law office that not only (deeply) understands the area of law they are working in, but has a process that is simple, quick, and effective. We reached out about a family trust and within a few months had one beautifully pulled together, including funding of the trust (moving our assets into it -- a HUGELY overlooked part of the process for many firms we explored before landing on Drobny), an advance health directive, durable power of attorney, pour over will, etc. The documents came to us in a binder and electronic, including various copies to provide to our agents. Wonderful experience -- cannot recommend highly enough.

I was highly recommended by family siblings to set up my will and trust with Drobny Law Offices.Mark took all my information and then met again to sign and review all the paperwork. He explained everything in detail and did a very professional job. I would give him a five star rating.

I was in need of updating my Estate information and Mark was highly recommended to me by a mutual friend. Mark reviewed my information, evaluated what needed to be done and efficiently provided me with a very well thought out update of my information. Mark was thorough, explained clearly what needed to be done and provided the finished product in a timely manner and at a reasonable cost.

My husband and I have been clients of Mark Drobny since December 1992 and would highly recommend his services, in our case, a Living Trust. I would certainly consider contacting him for assistance in the future with any other legal services that he specializes in. Not only is Mark Drobny professional and learned, he's a pleasure to deal with in person as is his staff.
