About Drendel & Jansons Law Group

Professionals with a personal touch incorporating tradition on the cutting edge.

We provide legal services to local businesses and families. We are personable, responsive, and trustworthy. We not only represent local community members, we are also involved in the local community.

We know and understand our clients' needs and goals. We work diligently to protect clients' interests, to reduce and eliminate liabilities, to give thoughtful counsel and advice, to plan for the future, and to minimize liabilities from the past.

We practice in many areas of the law. We do business and corporate law, including corporate and LLC formation, providing general counsel to businesses, reviewing, drafting and negotiating all types of contracts, handling sales and acquisitions, etc. We even have a program for ongoing, unlimited advice for $50 a month ($500 a year) -- the Business Call In Program.

We practice family law, including divorce, child support, spousal support, adoptions, guardianships, etc.

We do real estate law, including sales and purchases, residential and commercial, land use and development, zoning, and just about anything having anything to do with real estate.

We do estate planning and administration, including drafting wills, trusts, powers of attorney, living wills, etc. We handle the administration of estates, including probate administration, guardianship, and trust administration.

We do other things that are too many to list in this short space. If we do not do it, we know someone who does. We maintain close relationships with other attorneys and professionals who do things we do not do. These are people that we implicitly trust. We would not refer anyone to someone we would not trust with our own matters.

Hired Attorney Carolyn Jansons

Carolyn handled my divorce case, she was excellent from the start to the finish. She knows the recent law changes, understands the judge and knows how to work with difficult opposing lawyers. She remained very professional and understanding, no matter how difficult and hard to work with opposing counsel was.

Hired Attorney Kevin Drendel

We have been very pleased with the work Kevin has done in developing our trust which included "special needs" accommodations for one of our daughters and a granddaughter. His insight and research in this area was very helpful in making our plans for the future. We have also appreciated his easy accessibility when dealing with legal matters of a general nature. We also have appreciated our dealings with Kevin's father, Gilbert X. Drendel, attorney now semi-retired in the same firm.

She was excellent. She explained everything clearly, even showed us text in law books and confirmed her understanding with an associate.

Mr. Drendel was very helpful in explaining the options in the preparation of a will. His drafting of the will was timely and thorough.

Hired Attorney Mark D. Brent

Mark Brent is a great attorney. He will focus on what needs to be done. He is very professional. I had a very difficult divorce case with an ex that continues to keep me in court over custody issues. He's great with complicated situations.

Hired Attorney Kevin Drendel

Before working with Kevin, I had never engaged the services of a lawyer, but within two years, a series of circumstances had me working with three lawyers in two states. Of the three, Kevin was consistently the quickest to respond to my inquiries. His ethics and professionalism are always apparent, as are his commitment to family and the community.

Hired Attorney Mark D. Brent

My ex had the most disorganized attorneys. Mark basically had to keep up on them to get things done. They kept drawing things out while he had to keep them on track He told me what was needed on my end and we worked well together. Sadly though, the the divorce laws in Illinois are more of a problem and don't always allow an attorney to do what is right vs following the law.

The only exposure to the law firm was with one attorney (Kevin Drendel) and his assistant. Both were very easy to work with, and provided exactly the services I needed.
