About Gregory
Biography
Gregory Berlowitz, J.D., is committed to making estate planning accessible and straightforward for families across Chicago. Located in Andersonville and serving clients on the north side, Gregory’s mission is to ensure that individuals can protect their assets and loved ones while avoiding court and family disputes. Gregory graduated cum laude from the University of Illinois College of Law, where he was honored as a Dean’s List student, Harno Scholar, Rickert Award recipient for Service, and pro bono honoree. Following a federal judicial clerkship and five years in private practice, Gregory broadened his professional experience by founding an organic food co-op and focusing on his family. He is admitted to practice before the Illinois Bar, U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, and the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Seventh and Eighth Circuits. Gregory Berlowitz offers compassionate and experienced counsel to all those seeking to secure their family’s future.
I'm a Rogers Park attorney and parent, with an office in Andersonville, and decades-long ties to the community. Since 2018, I've helped to demystify the estate planning process for hundreds of clients with fees they can actually afford.
Effective legal advice doesn't need to come from exclusive or expensive downtown offices. My practice ensures that everyday Chicagoans can create an estate plan without the high fees and legal jargon that discourage so many people from taking action to protect their assets and family members.
Power of attorney documents are powerful assignments of your health and financial powers to an agent you choose to make decisions for you in your name. Unexpected emergencies can happen to anyone, and careful planning covers you and your loved ones in unpredictable and difficult circumstances.
Trusts are not just for the wealthy; they are a tried and true method for keeping your family out of conflict and out of court. Trusts are private, enable your loved ones to avoid probate, and can include asset protection and tax savings.
Did you know that when a parent passes without a will under Illinois law, their assets will be split evenly between their spouse and children? Wouldn't you prefer to direct to whom and in what manner your assets are distributed, and select the person who will carry out your wishes for you?

Will, HIPAA, Living Will and Power of Attorney
I had an old, outdated will since my husband died over 6 years ago. On the recommendation of a friend, I contacted Greg with a deadline for a new will, since I was going to be traveling within a month. He promised he'd have the will (and other pertinent papers) prepared before my trip, and he did! ...
