LEAWOOD, Kan., Sept. 8, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mariner Wealth Advisors, a national wealth advisory firm headquartered in Leawood, Kansas, today announced it has expanded its services through the opening of an office in Chicago.

The new office will be led by Keith Plywaczynski, CFP®, a senior wealth advisor with more than a decade of experience helping clients achieve their personal financial objectives. Plywaczynski joins the firm from Capstone Financial Advisors, where he was responsible for establishing new client relationships and advising on approximately $260 million in client assets.

"The firm and I share a commitment to helping clients above all else, and Mariner Wealth Advisors will not only provide independent and comprehensive advice and service to our clients, but will attract like-minded, talented advisors to serve families with a need for our service offering."

"We have long recognized Chicago as a key city from which to serve our clients," said Martin C. Bicknell, chief executive officer of Mariner Wealth Advisors.

I welcome Keith to the firm and look forward to what the future has in store for Mariner Wealth Advisors - Chicago."

Mariner Wealth Advisors was founded with a mission of helping individuals and families achieve and maintain financial peace of mind. To continue improving upon its ability to deliver fully customized and holistic wealth planning solutions to clients across the country, Mariner Wealth Advisors has pursued an aggressive expansion plan.
