About
I am passionate about helping families solve the problems that keep them up at night. I have a wonderful wife Katie, three adult children, three beautiful grandchildren and one more on the way. I live in Riverwoods with Katie and our dog Buster who we rescued from the Anti Cruelty Society in 2007. I love studying history and World War 2 is a huge part of my life. I have visited Normandy France five times and took a group of seven friends as a private tour in 2012 and am planning another in October of 2014. I love pets and have helped many of my clients provide for their people and pet loved ones as well.

Gary values the time he spends with clients to solve their personal and complex estate planning needs. Gary has a process to break estate planning down to a manageable size to get your family protected. Once you complete the process you will have calmer state of mind that what you value is protected.
I have worked with Gary for almost 7 years. He always does what he says. And he has a great way of describing options, including the advantages and disadvantages, so I feel like an intelligent decision can be made.

Gary has handled all of my estate planning for several years. I have recommended Gary to numerous financial planning clients of mine and everybody seemed quite satisfied. Steve Delott CLU, CHfC
Definitely recommend for estate planning purposes. Helped my young family craft a smart and effective estate plan where we could be comfortable that our kids would be taken care of if disaster struck. Would use again.
Mr. Waitzman recently updated my estate planning documents. Mr. Waitzman is professional yet friendly. He explains every detail necessary, without "talking down". He answers questions using words we all use every day, rather than legal terms. He will take as much time as necessary to make sure what he's explaining is understandable. As a side note, he has a wonderful sense of humor which is helpful when discussing one's demise! Another side note...Mr. Waitzman is also a CPA so is able to assist in financial issues too.
