I have had a 20 year relationship with Michael Fry. He has assisted my wife and me in our own financial planning and could not be happier with our level of trust, comfort and performance. As a consummate professional, he is a master teacher of the craft of finances, a listener to our own goals and dreams and has a gift for finding the perfect fit for each situation. I especially appreciate the attention to detail that Mr. Fry takes with our total financial picture, making sure we are properly protected and our investments are maximizing all our hard earned dollars.

Over the years, my business, an insurance agency, has had the benefit of referring our clients to Mr. Fry for financial planning. Whether the need is simple or complex, Mr. Fry will always take the time to explain, compare and look for the best plan available for everyone. My trust level is such that I have no reservation sending any or all of our clients to him. Michael Fry at Steward Financial is truly a financial expert and firm that I give my highest recommendation. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to call my office at 630.393.6700.

My wife and I met Mr. Fry at a financial investment seminar for seniors, in Bolingbrook, IL in 1997. At the time we felt that we needed some financial counseling and the Lord lead us to the seminar that Mr. Fry was conducting. At the presentation he was very knowledgeable about tax pointers for seniors, long-term health care, pre-probate planning, estate planning, tax shelter for seniors and how to earn the highest rates with the best companies.

As I stated my wife and I have been doing business with Mr. Fry since 1997 and find him to be a very caring, friendly and always available for counseling. Someone you can trust.

My wife and I would recommend him highly.

After attending one of Mike Fry's financial seminars in 2001, my wife and I decided to engage Mike as our financial advisor and manager.

By re-allocating some of our assets we were able to drop our IRS obligation from $7,736 for the 2001 year to $1,256 in 2002. In 2003 my taxes dropped to $46.62, then $452 for 2004. For 2005, I received a $301 tax refund.

We no longer pay estimated taxes and little on our social security. I have and will recommend Mike to my friends and anyone seeking financial advice.

I really appreciate your time and wise council with my parents today. You are very good!

-Ken W., St. Charles



Thank you very much for the sincere interest you had in developing a Living Trust for us. Our visits to your office were always met with a welcomed smile and such warm hospitality. We really appreciate and value your knowledgeable advice and handling of our trust and investments. As your clients, it is very comforting to know that our financial advisor values our interests and has integrity.

In the years we've been with Mike Fry, we've learned to trust him and appreciate all he has done for us. Even though our money is limited, he treats us with respect, choosing investments he feels are right for us.

He patiently explains the choices (sometimes more than once!) to help us be comfortable with our decisions, while taking the time to answer our questions.

We have recommended Mike to our friends and will continue to do so.

- Wilbur & Mary P., Warrenville



I have known Mike Fry for about 10 years. I met him at a seminar he was hosting at the Plainfield Library. My husband who had a stroke a few years prior was not able to help with decisions about our financial future. I felt a trust and sincerity from Mike. When my husband died it was Mike that helped through all of my financial turmoil. I can call him at any time and he is always ready to help me.

Mike Fry is a kind and compassionate human being. I would recommend his services to anyone.

- Mickey D., Plainfield



Mike's thoroughness sold us. He took much time to explain all of our investment options in easy to understand terms. The changes that we have made have all gone smoothly.

He always has time for phone calls or to meet as needed and has a terrific personal touch that makes us feel special.

- Sue & Scott S., Oswego



I have confidence in Steward Financial as the monitor of my financial well being. Mike Fry has made solid recommendations, not only for my retirement funds, but also has addressed my concerns regarding short term savings and insurance. He looks at the whole picture.

Since my first financial planning meeting at Steward Financial, I've had more confidence that I am on track toward a secure retirement.

Diogenes was a Grecian philosopher who lived in 320 b.c., was protesting the corruption in his country, so roamed throughout the streets of his town in broad daylight, wearing nothing more than a barrel with a hand holding a lighted outstretched latern; proclaiming to an audience of assembled citizens that he was looking for an honest man!!!

Of course, we know that was an almost impossible task then, as it is to this day.

However, if you, as an astute person of limited financial acumen, as most of humanity is, you will travel far and not meet with anyone more capable and honest that the man I'm about to mention. You can be assured of his honest opinion and advice concerning your financial future in suggesting ways of preserving whatever nest egg you have or hope to accumulate.

His name is Michael Fry, and his firm is "STEWARD FINANCIAL SERVICES." Look him up for the Rest of the Story....

Mike Fry listened to our troubled financial history with compassion and without judgment. HIs wise counsel helped our family to get out of debt and begin to rebuild a stronger financial future. His teachings have helped us to pass on a stronger financial legacy to our children.

I met with Mike Fry, CSA of Steward Financial Services for consultation in 2004. I retired from teaching Nursing Students after 35 years and I was working as adjunct faculty in a local community college. I had invested in tax sheltered annuities and Roth accounts with several national companies and I believe I had chosen well in previous years. I had come to the decision that I did not want to save and invest by myself any more and that I was ready for financial advice. I wanted to insure my financial status if at all possible and perhaps save some monies for my grown children. I wanted to invest without risk if at all possible. Mike listened to my goals and objectives and at a subsequent meeting demonstrated a plan for me, which I accepted. Mike worked closely with an Illinois lawyer and me, and I established a Living Trust. Since our initial meeting I have met regularly with Mike for informative reviews and guidance. The funds I selected are doing well and my financial assets are growing as projected. It is wonderful to have a financial consultant whom I trust and one who has made my retirement years more secure and enjoyable.

After attending a number of retirement and investment seminars and speaking extensively to investment brokers, I came across Mike Fry at one of his seminars. At our first appointment Mike gave very generously of his time getting to know me and my wants and needs and my comfort zone. All the other brokers offered very similar products. Mike's products were all different from the others and more in tune to my personal needs and likes. I am very pleased with the package he has developed for me. I highly recommend him to all my family and friends. He is a hardworking, caring and honest man.

I recently was executor for my brother's estate when he passed away. Because of the way that Mike encouraged him to set up his estate it simplified my job, and made a difficult situation almost seamless. I was able to settle the estate in less than a year.

Mike is now helping us put our retirement money in the best possible vehicles to benefit us in our retirement. He always takes the time to explain everything until we feel comfortable and understand. Mike has taken the fright out of retirement for us.

- Bill & Jean M., Joliet



Mike has handled my finances for the last five years. He has seen to it that each year my income, from his financial attention, has increased. I strongly recommend him to all who would like a successful advisor.

He always has their best interest at heart. We have gotten much positive feedback from those we have referred to him. Mike is trustworthy and resourceful. He has the unique ability to mix wisdom and knowledge to provide you with excellent service and great investments. Mike will do you good!
