Greg is a Chicago-based estate planning attorney with more than 30 years of experience advising individuals and families throughout Illinois. He concentrates his practice on estate planning, trust formation, family business succession planning, asset protection, charitable planning, and tax-efficient wealth transfer strategies.

Greg regularly represents high-net-worth business owners, executives, philanthropists, professional athletes, and multigenerational family enterprises across Chicago and Illinois. He works in partnership with his clients’ other advisors to develop and administer sophisticated multigenerational succession plans that emphasize wealth preservation, asset protection, and tax minimization.
