Reviews for Mark S.
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.My wife and I decided to seek a professional to develop a trust, and on the recommendation of our church, sought Mark's expertise. We are very pleased with that decision. Mark is personable, patient, incredibly diligent, responsive and adept at answering questions. The price was incredibly reasonable and we are thrilled with the professionalism demonstrated both personally in dealing with us, and professionally as demonstrated in the trust documents. Mark's office handled funding the trust to make sure all our home and all probate eligible accounts were included, and I couldn't be happier to know that everything is done. If asked, I would absolutely recommend Mark Drobny. He is did a great job for us.
I have worked with Mark Drobny before and find him very trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate. He explained the process completely and answered all my questions. I have recommended Mark and his organization to several friends and family members. I'm confident that my will/trust will be executed fully and correctly when needed.
Mark Drobny is an excellent lawyer. He helped me a lot with my State Planning. He made everything easy for me. He guided me on collecting all the information I had to supply. After that, he produced all the documents needed. The document signing took place in his offices, with excellent facilities and attentive service. Finally, I got a binder with all documents well organized.
Thank you Mark for completing our Trust and providing clear guidance and direction. Communication with Mark and his staff was excellent and timely. We needed someone we could trust and Mark’s estate planning expertise was critical to our goals. Thank you again for all your support!
Mark was very knowledgeable and professional. I will recommend him to any one who needs help with estate planning and probate issues. Mark has been working with my parents for many years with nothing but good experiences.
Mark set up our Family Trust, and the process was very easy. He took time to explain various issues, and made us comfortable throughout the process. A number of friends and coworkers have also used Mark, and have received updates, as necessary, due to changing laws.
I hired Mark Drobny and team to do basic estate planning. I met with Mark directly for the initial consultation, he walked me through the process, explained everything very clearly and answered all my questions. His team followed up quickly with all the documents and materials needed for my situation and everything was handled quickly and easily. I felt the price was very fair for services received. I would recommend this firm.
I was dreading the process of updating our family trust. We met with Mark and within days we had a draft of our updated trust documents. Within a month, we were back in Mark's office to sign our documents. Mark and his staff have been great to work with. I appreciate the professionalism, accuracy and speed with which our engagement was handled.
We had no idea to utilize to put together a trust and will . Mark was a referral by a family member. Mark and his team acted quickly and were very responsive. His experience shines through. Thank you Mark and team for the great work. I highly recommend him to all.
Mr. Drobny recently guided us through the process of amending our Trust. We had initially worked with him in 2018 when establishing our original Trust. Mr. Drobny and his staff have been especially attentive to our personal needs and desires as our own and our family's lives have changed since the first edition of our Trust. Mr. Drobny took the time and effort not only to analyze our requested changes, but also to give us necessary and insightful advice as to how to incorporate these changes. What was especially helpful was his experience in dealing with similar issues with other clients, and how these issues lent light to our own circumstances. Just as we felt after completing the Trust process in 2018, we have total confidence that the amended Roylance Family Trust is exactly as we want it, and that it will be a stable and dependable legal document for our beneficiaries when the time comes for disbursement. We enthusiastically recommend Mark Drobny!
