Joan Marie Fenstermaker

We worked with Joan on a dispute with our former landlord over prorated rent and withholding of our security deposit. Joan did a great job of advising us on the process, keeping us informed of developments, and working with a difficult attorney on the landlord’s side. We were very happy with the reco...very Joan was able to secure for us.

I can't recommend Joan highly enough. In dealing with a dispute with my former landlord, Joan provided exceptional legal representation. Her knowledge of the law, combined with her professional, methodical approach, resulted in a favorable outcome for me. Throughout the entire process, Joan was al...ways available to answer my questions and kept me well-informed about the case's progress. If you are looking for an attorney who will tirelessly advocate for your rights and provide top-notch legal advice, look no further than Joan Fenstermaker. I am truly grateful for her support and would not hesitate to seek her services again in the future.

She was able to handle a complicated landlord tenant security deposit situation that required multiple lawyers. Not only did she instill confidence at the initial consultation she went out of her way to take a case on contingency. She deserved a glowing review (win or lose) ... but in my experience... she doesn't lose.

Joan represented me when my landlord's insurance company tried to come after me for a subrogation claim that was ultimately trying to leverage an entire bathroom renovation to increase the market value of the unit after I moved out. She kindly and thoroughly walked me through Illinois tenant law and ...presented the insurance company with an excellent letter that dismissed their claims. They have not tried to contact me since! I would go to Joan again in a heartbeat - she is patient, kind, and strong representation.

Joan Fenstermaker is an absolute God-send! My fiance and I needed to relocate from Chicago in a short period of time, and we reached out to Joan in the hopes of reaching an agreement to break our lease. The property management company we were renting from was going through some transitions - unbeknow...nst to us, but Joan navigated our entire relationship with the company to help us reach a favorable solution. She was extremely accommodating with her time, made the effort to make sure we understood every angle of the situation, and made a point of providing us all we needed to make informed decisions throughout the process of reaching agreement. Joan knows her stuff and knows how to get stuff done... and, she's just a calming presence in a hectic scenario. I can't adamantly enough express how appreciative we are for her, but - if you're in the market for a tenant lawyer - look no further; you've found her.
