Drobny Law came highly recommended by my financial advisor for estate planning. I was very happy with the whole experience from the initial consultation to completion of the process. Mark and his staff were very helpful in explaining the process, answering my questions, and providing comfort in knowing that they will be there to assist my family in the future.

We are a retired professional couple who had procrastinated on estate planning. A relative suggested Mark Drobny. Mark made what seemed a complicated, time consuming process quite manageable. His knowledge, organization, and ability to explain options helped us tremendously in making our estate planning decisions. He and his staff's efficiencies and efforts resulted in a product that we are very happy with. His commitment to an annual review of our needs was an unexpected bonus. We look forward to a continued relationship with Mr. Drobny and would highly recommend him.

We first hired Mark Drobny in 2004 to create a Family Trust , Personal Wills, Durable Power of Attorney for Financial Management and Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care Decisions for both my wife and me. In 2013, California made substantial changes in the probate laws governing trusts and wills which required rewriting these original documents to comply with the new regulations. Mark did an extraordinary job explaining the changes to us that saved us thousands of dollars in probate costs. We have referred several friends to him and their experience has also been excellent. We recommend Mark Drobny and his staff without reservation for Trusts and Estate Plans.

We are two aging professionals. We had an excellent experience with Mr. Drobny and his team. He efficiently and thoroughly set us up with a trust, wills, and other documents relevant to our estate. Mr. Drobny provided answers and solutions to some of our more difficult issues. He is experienced and thoughtful. We should have hired him a long time ago. Finally, we have peace of mind, as we know we are in good hands.

We hired him to organize our estate planning which was basically non-existent. We are in our 70's and should not have waited this long to make our desires know. Around 5 weeks after our first consultation, everything is in order and we are happy with the results. We highly recommend Mark Drobny and his firm.

From the minute we walked into Mark's office he was a total professional. The was the first time we ever talked with anyone about a living trust. Mark explained everything to the detail and made sure we understood the process involved. All questions were answered in a timely manner. We are totally satisfied with Mark and would recommend his Law offices to anyone.

Working with Mr. Drobny and his team made our estate planning a painless, efficient experience. Recommended to us by a trusted friend, we couldn't be happier with the assistance of him and his team. Mark provided us with excellent counsel in developing an estate plan to meet our personal and professional needs. Mark and his team are friendly, transparent, experienced, knowledgeable, efficient, and direct. We highly recommend Drobny Law Offices.

It was a surprise to find this level of law practice via the San Diego Humane Society! I'm so glad I attended that program and got this competent practice to finally take care of documents I'd been avoiding. Thank you for the time and efforts on my behalf.
