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.

If you ever find the need to work with a highly qualified and trustworthy estate planning attorney, I strongly recommend Gary Waitzman. Gary is thoughtful, intelligent, cost-sensitive, and a huge asset to have on your team. Gary started out as my attorney and has morphed into a close friend. Gary has been the trusted advisor to my family, my friends and many of my own clients. When protecting your most important asset (your family), you want the best – GET GARY!!

Gary is knowledgable and more importantly very much in my corner when it comes to any matter that I am facing. Not only is he technically sound, he is creative and caring in his solutions to life's legal issues. It is wonderful to have such a quality advisor who has my back.

My wife, Barbara and I have known and appreciated Gary Waitzman's legal services for many years. In the world of law and finances, we have found that he knows his craft and is a very capable person. As we all know, in today's world it is not always easy to find individuals who not only have the expertise, but also can be trusted to give a client the best counsel one could ask. Carl

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.

I have worked with Gary Waitzman for almost 20 years. He has always been one of my most trusted advisors. His knowledge of Estate Planning, Taxation and Business Law has been essential to the success of my business and the protection of my family's assets. Gary has handled my company's legal matters, my personal estate planning, my business and personal tax advice and preparation and many assorted issues. If I have a legal, tax or estate planning question, Gary is my "go to" guy. Hiring an attorney is always a difficult decision. I can assure you that Gary is a great selection - his experience is unparalleled and he will quickly become one of your most valuable assets.

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.
