Questionable ethics

Be very careful using Craig A Janas. Currently (Jan. 2026) involved in a FBI investigation for a gold fund ponzi scheme with Nick Nardulli, Family Definded Benefits, LLC.

HIghest quality at the lowest price

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.

protected my retirement

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 anyo...ne 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.

lowest flat fees, incredible service

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
