Reviews for Mark S.
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.Mark is very knowledgeable about the laws related to our trust. We had a trust that needed to be updated and he explained the new laws and their impacts on our estate in an easy-to-understand way. When the revised trust was presented to us, it was very organized and Mark went through it with us page-by-page and answered all questions we had. Mark's team was very efficient in collecting the necessary documentation and communicating back to us. Overall, excellent experience. We highly recommend Mark Drobny for his services related to our family trust.
My husband and I restated an existing trust. Mark also completed new wills, powers of attorney and healthcare powers of attorney. Appointments were on time. All paperwork was completed as promised. Our questions were answered immediately to our satisfaction. Mark's assurance, professionalism and prompt service give us confidence that our estate will be distributed per our requests.
I've been putting off my estate planning for a long time now. It all seemed so complicated. When I was recommended to Mark he made it all so easy I couldn't believe I had waited so long. Not only is Mark great but his support staff are awesome too., Overall a great team. I couldn't recommend them more. Thank you!
We me with Mark in 2020 to update the original trust and wills that he created for us many years ago. With our recent retirement our life stage had changed and so had the law. Mark and his team worked seamlessly with us through the pandemic restrictions updating all aspects of our trust and will to our great satisfaction. I recommend the Drobny Law firm to all my family and friends that are in need of a will and a trust.
Working with Mark to create our family trust, wills and advance healthcare directive was a breeze. He helped us through the decisions we needed to make; guiding us but letting us make the choices ourselves. He and his team are tremendously well organized/efficient which made communication simple. At the end of the process, we have everything we need for our family
I viewed a Zoom session on Estate Planning featuring Mark Drobny presented by CapRadio--I had procrastinated for years, but Mark's clear and rational message, combined with his sense of humor and pragmatic, process-oriented approach, got me going. In less than two months, I went from having good intentions while trying to track down all my dispersed records to having a complete Trust, Will, Power of Attorney and Advance Health Care Directive, all in one compact binder and thumbdrive.
Mark Drobny was recommended by one of my family members, who is very meticulous, and particular in a very good sense, in that when she stated, "I have the perfect lawyer who be able to handle your real estate needs, living trust, will. Besides taking care of my needs, he also took care of my children's affairs." That in itself, was a "no brainer" for me to see him. Our process was made a bit complicated with multiple properties, investments, and a number of retirement plans, which was way over our heads. We se up an appt on Zoom to go over our needs, documents were mailed to our house for review, and return. The following appt, we set up an in person appointment, at his immaculate office, every one was super nice. He thoroughly explained what the documents were, before we signed. We weren't rushed, it was like having my favorite sibling take his time, in helping us get EVERY thing in order for the protection, and well-being of our young children. See Mark, he will do right by you.
Mark Drobny provided counsel on our original will and trust. The latest service was to update our will and trust to comply with changes in the law. Mark is very knowledgeable, professional, organized, compassionate and good at explaining the necessary changes.
Mr Drobny set up our trust about 10 years ago and we just recently updated it. Still happy with the service he and his office provide. Quick, knowledgable, and reliable.
Easy to work with, very responsive. Helpful staff. Very thorough work on our living trust and wills.
