Hadn't heard back from you so I sent another one about 3 days ago...Still no response. My previous lawyer that retired recommended you and I've been bad about updating my Trust and really need to do so. If you are busy, could you let me know and maybe recommend somebody up my way in Roseville area. Thank you P.S. found someone on my own...no response needed now...He responded to my email within an hour... have a good day.

Chris Konwinski provided my mother and me with comprehensive estate planning services over the past…read moreyear, including power of attorney documents. He also kindly assisted with paperwork for her residential solar system and notary services. We found Chris to be affable, competent, and genuinely warm. His office manager, Julie, shares those same excellent qualities. We were pleasantly surprised by his reasonable rates. Chris is highly knowledgeable and straightforward--our highest recommendation.

Mr Konwinski came highly recommended to me through a dear friend. Now I have the pleasure to highly…read morerecommend him to others. He and his staff are incredibly kind and helpful in addition to offering first class legal services. I was seen quickly and served very well. When my matter turned ticklish with an interested party they were quick to do and say just the right thing to help avoid problem escalation. Fortunately, I seldom have need of an attorney's services - but the first attorney I'll dial for help or a reference in future will be Chris Konwinski's office.

My tax guy (from TaxAce, which is amazing by the way) referred us to Jennie and DWT, and I couldn't…read morebe happier. I've been dealing with a very tough time in my life caring for elderly parents and dealing w/tough family situations, and Jennie was so professional and great at explaining all my options. My first order of business was actually to just get our own Trust (for our kids) squared away, but I've been so happy with Jennie's help that I'm looking to her for all my future trust legal needs (in particular administering my parents trust). I felt like her fees were reasonable and I was happy with her succession plans as I am always thinking ahead to the future and ensuring continuity from my parents to trust to my own trust. Davis is a bit of a drive for me, but it's worth it. Can't recommend her enough!

Mr. Merritt is an absolute Godsend. He took my case quickly, worked on it immediately, and…read morecommunicated every step of the way. He took my concerns into consideration, and most importantly, he spoke with me honestly about next steps. I truly appreciated how well he listened, and what mattered to me mattered to him. My circumstances were also unique, involving a landlord-tenant issue. I've read other reviews where Mr. Merritt was described as being short or talking down to people. However, as someone without any legal knowledge, I can understand how he might come across that way. He knew what was important when I did not, and he focused on the core legal issues to defend me properly--and he did exactly that. Mr. Merritt has his finger on the pulse and stays up to date on new laws. He has been practicing law for nearly 40 years with an unblemished reputation. He has truly earned his place among California's great lawyers.

Thanks to his preparation and court performance, the judge reconsidered my case and denied the opposing side's fees. I am now free to refile. He is an experienced attorney that I would recommend.

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 think my first review of Drobney Law Offices was very comprehensive and stated how important…read moregetting a will & trust is as a necessary, yet somewhat expensive initial life investment. If you want to avoid probate, red tape and legal hoops involved with a loved one's death, this is the estate law office I highly recommend to help you through it all! Even though I thought that after my mom's passing, my sister and I had finally dealt with all of the headaches that were involved with my mom's lack of an official will & trust and beneficiaries, one more obscure investment plan raised it's head above the ashes. It was a very small account, but the company was very strict about how it had to be handled. They required multiple steps to be completed via the filing of several documents, my mom's death certificate, and the completion of a small estate affidavit. Needless to say, this required the help of an estate lawyer. That's when I realized that I already have my own personal lawyer just a phone call away! After corresponding by email and getting things prepared in advance, my family and I went to our appointment to meet with associate attorney: Lilit Minasyan. It was nice to meet her again since my last visit about 4 years ago. She was very helpful, detailed oriented, and explained everything step by step to get all of the necessary paperwork submitted and filed completely. I was a little worried at first that I would face some sort of set back with this difficult investment company of my mother's (as we have in the past), but I soon experienced peace of mind. I felt very comfortable that all possible obstacles were dealt with and everything was submitted in a smooth and legal binding fashion! Thank you Drobney Law Offices for being here for us!

It is a very good feeling to know you have a trusted attorney who will always have your back! And…read morefor me, that attorney is Mathew D. Scott. This is an updated review from my original of 11/09/2020. Matthew brings years of knowledge and experience to every case he handles. If you read my first review, I met him in the dark days of Covid. I was selling my home under a stressful situation while buying and moving into a new one! He handled everything for me and made the process flow perfectly to a most successful conclusion. I have much gratitude for his assistance. Recently, and three years later, I called upon him for yet another legal issue. His expeditous intervention, along with his reliable and highly skilled team, again saved the day for me. Matthew is a true professional you can trust to always have your best interests as his number one priority. You will find no one who will work harder to get you where you need to be. And his sense of humor always surfaces just when you need it the most! I strongly recommend Matthew based upon his years of experience, knowledge of the law, and unwavering integrity. He has so many other valuable skills. Take a moment and review the website for more information about this exceptional attorney. I trust him. Thank you, Matthew!

We called upon Matthew after my MIL passed to take care of legal issues my wife had been dealing…read morewith her family sibling which was back in 2016. Matthew stood up to the usual expensive corporate lawyer & his past experiences showed through. We felt lucky to have Matthew's support that we felt a review was necessary to show that Matthew cares & will help you in the best way possible. Wifey had worked for UCDMC so we have ARAG legal insurance which Matthew takes right away. Just be sure to let him know before and/or during your first visit. We also had him update our will & living trusts several years ago. So we just didn't use him just once. Actually we were going to use him again just recently last year but fortunately for us we didn't need to as family situations can be always so precarious. Don't hesitate to make that appointment right away. We have met with him in both the Elk Grove & Roseville offices & a separate law firm downtown when he represented my wife. He communicates well through emails & phone calls if needed. He does come highly recommended by both me & my wife. Just know Matthew is thorough, experienced, efficient and above all professional in his attorney occupation. He will help you in the best way possible legally & please take this advice with the utmost confidence. Thank you Matthew for all you have done for us. We can't ask for a better person to do this job for us as he has supported us in so many ways. We have been so blessed. By the way I was just informed Matthew is only at the Roseville office now. We had contacted him via email last year so I was unaware of the only one office. It was very convenient back then but that doesn't stop us from being a returning customer when needed.
