I used Mr. Janas for financial and estate planning. His expertise was very enlightening when it came to coordinating my financial plan with my estate plan. Never before had I seen someone with his knowledge and proficiency in both of these areas. Craig is clearly a few notches above the rest. His ideas for my portfolio & estate plan were cutting-edge and made perfect sense. I could clearly understand his suggestions that were very well thought out. In the end I had a financial plan that exceeded my goals, an estate plan that gave me the most control & least amount of taxes paid, and asset protection where I didn't have to worry about creditors, medicaid, nursing homes or challenges to my estate. I recommend sitting with Mr. Janas to hear his suggestions, he is a brilliant planner that everyone should talk to. Having one person (Mr. Janas) handle all of my legal, tax and financial needs drastically cut down on the costs I would have to spend with three or four different people. Now I don't have those costs of paying all those people. Also, the "team-approach" has failed me in the past when the "team" never coordinated or consulted with each other. It led to a financial, estate and tax disaster. All it took was one weak link and the team let me down. No longer, now I have the most sophisticated, educated planner in all the areas, truly an expert working in my corner. Thank you Mr. Janas.

After extensive research, I choose Mr. Janas and his expertise in completing my estate and financial plan. I can whole heartedly recommend Mr. Janas. He delivered on his promises and has provided exceptional service.

Outstanding product and service. Very professional. I can't say enough about Mr. Janas. Polite and courteous, Craig showed us ways to protect our assets from taxes and medicaid, while also helping us plan our finances for retirement. Simply the best. Thomas R., M.D.

Our estate plan was prepared quickly and professionally. I recommend Craig.

Craig provided superior service to my family with estate and retirement planning. He made sure my estate was protected from taxes, creditors, probate, and provided a plan that I could rely on without any worries of running out of income during retirement. I've used Craig through the years and can vouch that his promise of one-time, low, flat fees is a guarantee that he backs up. I now receive planning advice, coupled with free updates, amendments, consultations and changes.

My biggest fear was running out of money. Craig navigated me to ensure I would never realize my fear, in fact, I no longer have to worry about long term care expenses, nursing home costs, market risk, or creditors impacting my assets. I will have a guaranteed income stream with no possibility of anyone taking it from me. Peace of mind to say the least. I had consulted with other attorneys regarding probate, retirement planning but their starting costs were outrageous; and then they tacked on billable hours! Craig has the lowest flat fees in Illinois, and no billable hours! We have annual meetings and more frequent consultations during the year - all at no cost. Craig helped me plan my retirement by illustrating the various options I could use - and more importantly, the flawed plan I was currently using! His estate planning is backed by 3 generations within his family. Retirement planning, estate planning, creditor protection, backed by trust, founded on integrity. I highly recommend his services.

Craig took the time to explain every estate plan question we had. His family has over 90 years experience and Craig is featured on WIND 560 am on Sundays at 7-8am. His rates are the lowest in the industry and he does not have billable hours; which means we only pay 1 low flat rate - the rest is free. He volunteers on a weekly basis for the senior centers in the areas. I highly recommend Craig.

spent many years searching for the right attorney to complete our estate plan. Craig was professional, patient, experienced and trustworthy; about all I could ask in an attorney to serve us and our children
