Mark expertly guided us through the process of making the decisions related to forming our estate plan, making a job we had long put off as simple as possible. He made complex issues understandable and offered suggestions to move us forward at each step. He and his staff are extremely organized and ensure all the details are covered. We highly recommend him.

Mr. Mark Drobny prepared my will and living trust that includes a special needs trust for my brother. Price quotes I had received for the special needs trust alone exceeded the total cost of the firm’s work. The document preparation process was efficient and my questions were answered. I am a lawyer, but the area of trusts and estates is uniquely complex. I feel assured that my interests are protected thanks to the service I received.

I have been a client of Mark and his firm for close to two decades. As a trial lawyer I became aware of his excellent reputation and his work for our family certain confirmed it. He is a master at wills and trusts, his advice is always spot on and he explains various options and responds with answers to questions with clear answers. I highly recommend Mark not only for his knowledge of the law, but his interest in helping people in making difficult choices and have been consistenly amazed at the efficiency of his office.His AV rating is certainly deserved

Carefully reviewed our current situation, asked appropriate questions, reviewed our prior trust, made changes and clarifications, gave us appropriate time to review and understand, and finished the process in an outstanding manner. Staff and support people are also outstanding. I cannot recommend highly enough!

Mark came highly recommended by a close friend of us who just lost her husband to multiple health issues. We found ourselves is a similar situation as my wife has multiple health issues as well. This time it was an unexpected hospitalization which nearly took her, and it became very clear and important that we needed a Living Trust. Mark was very responsive to our needs and drew up the paper within a day or two and he came to the hospital for us to sign all the paperwork. I can't begin to tell you how relieved I am that he was so available to us and that we were able to do this in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mark Drobny.
