The busy attorney's financial advisor | Putting your money where it matters most, so you can reduce your taxes today and tomorrow. Stop tipping Uncle Sam!

Hundreds of law firm owners have worked with me to cut their taxes, protect what they’ve built, and create financial freedom on their terms.

They call me The Wealth Guardian — because my superpower is helping attorneys keep more of what they earn and build a financial foundation that lasts.

Here’s what I see every day:

You’ve built a successful firm.
Clients are happy. Revenue’s strong.

But your tax bill? That’s another story.

Most attorneys don’t overpay because they’re careless.
They overpay because they’re too busy serving others to plan ahead for themselves.

That’s where I come in.

I help law firm owners simplify the complex — so they can stop tipping Uncle Sam and start building lasting wealth.

Our MPG System is built around three goals:
✅ Minimize taxes with proactive, law-firm-specific strategy
✅ Protect income and assets from hidden risks
✅ Grow wealth with clarity and confidence

We start with a simple belief: serve the person, not sell the product.
No cookie-cutter plans. No pressure. Just smart strategy that fits your life and your firm.

A little about me:
I’m a Chicago guy at heart, a lifelong baseball fan (had a little trouble with the curve), and now a Florida resident who still bleeds Blackhawks red. I’m also a proud dad to a physician assistant daughter and an active member of AHEPA, raising scholarship funds for local high school seniors.

Next step:
If you’re ready to see how smart tax and financial planning can create real freedom — let’s talk.

The perfect weekend. Better than 6-7. 😉

After a good week getting 2 referrals, and 
onboarding 2 new clients, I headed home.  

Pizza on Thursday night. 
Greek food Friday night.  
Blackhawks win Saturday night. 

And the mid November weather was perfect.  

Thank you Chicago.  You did not disappoint!  

Heading back to Florida today.  
Won’t be around much.  

This was exactly what I needed for the 
push of the end of the year.  

I’ll catch up with all comments when I can. 

See you all Monday.  

How was your weekend?

There's three ways to buy long-term care protection:

Which one is the right one for you?

Most law firm owners I meet don’t avoid planning for long-term care.

It's just that no one ever had the conversation with them, 
and they just may not understand it.

Some think it’s all the same: 
You pay a premium, and hope you never need it.

But these days, there’s actually three very different ways 
to design long-term care protection.

Here’s a quick breakdown I share with my clients:

1. Traditional Long-Term Care Insurance:
Think of it like homeowner’s insurance for your health.
You pay a premium, and if you need care, the policy pays benefits.
If you don’t need it, at least you were protected, just like car or home insurance.

✅Pros: Typically the lowest cost for pure coverage.
⚠️Cons: “Use it or lose it.” Premiums can increase over time.

2. Hybrid Life Insurance with Long-Term Care
This one’s become the most popular.
It combines life insurance with long-term care benefits.
If you need care, the policy pays for it.
If you don’t, your family receives the life insurance benefit when you pass.

✅Pros: You’ll always get value, either for care or a death benefit.
⚠️Cons: Higher upfront cost compared to traditional LTC.

3. Annuity with Long-Term Care Benefits
Ideal for people with existing cash or CDs earning little interest.
You reposition money into an annuity that multiplies its value for long-term care needs.

✅ Pros: Leverages idle money for future protection, with guarantees.
 ⚠️ Cons: Best for those who can tie up assets for the long term.

The truth is, there’s no “one-size-fits-all.”
The best option depends on your age, health, liquidity, 
and how much flexibility you want.

The goal?
To protect your assets, and your independence, 
so your family never faces the same tough choices mine did.

November is Long-Term Care Awareness Month, 
and it’s the perfect time to review your protection strategy.

I’m Frank Rekas, Personal CFO for law firm owners.

My MPG System helps you Minimize taxes, 
Protect life income and assets, and Grow wealth.

And long-term care planning is right in the middle of that “P.”

P.S. Take my 15-minute Financial Discovery, and I’ll show you which 
of the three approaches fits your plan best, and how to fund it efficiently.

Are you aware of the 40% gap? 

Too many law firm owners and attorneys 
don't take long-term disability insurance seriously.

More often than not, your group coverage 
isn’t what you think it is. 

Here’s an example of how Tony found out that he wasn’t protected enough:

He had a monthly income of $15k

His group coverage at the firm only covered the typical 60% of income. 

What he didn’t realize is that there was a
cap on the coverage of $6,000 per month. 

Here’s what that looks like:

Monthly income: $15,000.

60% of coverage equals: $9,000 per month.

Disability coverage: 60% of income up to $6,000/month

Shortfall: $3,000 per month.

Actual disability coverage: 40% of monthly income.

That’s not enough protection for him and his family. 

And wait.  It doesn’t end there.  

If the firm pays for his coverage his 
monthly benefits could also be taxable. 😬 

That makes the gap even worse. 

We filled the gap with a personal policy.
One that follows him no matter where he goes.

One that took less that 10 days to put in place.
Simple.  Easy.  And affordable.

Now Tony doesn't have to wonder anymore if "it" happens,
will he and his family be okay.  He knows they will.

Your number one asset is your ability to earn an income.

And income doesn’t grow on trees.

Knowing your benefits beats being surprised by them when you need them.

“Meet me under the clock.”

In Chicago, you don’t need a map.
You don’t need a pin.

You need four words and you know where to be. 

State & Washington.

Say it out loud and every Chicagoan instantly knows:
You mean THE clock, the Marshall Field’s clock.

 The original meetup spot before you had
GPS, texting, or “I’m almost there” excuses.

Only in this beautiful city could a clock on a corner have more loyalty, 
history, and meaning than half your cousins.

You didn’t need directions.

You didn’t need to ask questions. 

You just need to say “Meet me under the clock,”
and everyone magically appeared right where they were supposed to be. 

Happy Saturday from Chicago. 
Where even our intersections are historic.

Christmas festivities started early this year! 

I was not expecting this on my trip back home!

Friday morning my brother and I went to Brookfield Zoo.
John volunteers there, and has been since he retired.

It gives him purpose, and he really enjoys doing it,

We went there this morning to decorate this Christmas tree.
It's in honor of his wife Lisa, who passed away many years ago.

I'm really glad we had a chance to do this on my trip.

The morning was beautiful.
Just like Lisa. 💓

Thank you Chicago. 

You’re always just what I needed.
