Joan Marie Fenstermaker

I had an unusual situation and I turned to Joan after the first lawyer seemed to be more interested in making my case a class action suit he could use to publicize his own interests. She immediately focused on what I considered the real issues and she stayed on track. She took apart any argument my l...andlady and her lawyer attempted to make. I was very impressed with how aggressive Joan was willing to get! She quickly took the upper hand and she never let it go. She kept pounding away until we got everything in our list of demands! There have been no out of pocket costs to work with Joan. Joan is highly knowledgeable in the finest details of the RLTO and she knows how to apply it. A tenant in Chicago could not find a better advocate than Joan!

Joan is awesome. From the first phone call to her explaining our situation she was very knowledgeable and helpful. She worked hard for us and got us out of an awful situation better than we thought was possible. Joan responded to phone calls and emails, even after working hours. She keep us informed ...of every detail. She was a pleasure to work with and I've given her contact info to the other tenants in that awful building if they should decide to not put up with that slum lord anymore. Also gave her # to another friend who might be able to use her services. Thanks Joan.

I hired Joan back in march of 2012 to help me get my security deposit back. My previous lanlord didn't notify me that they were planing on keeping my security deposit as a whole or portion. So I contacted Joan and she sent them the paperwork, within a few weeks they offered a settlement amount. So I ...was able to recoupe double my original deposit plus my attorney fees, which is standard in Illinois. She was very helpful, knowledgeble and friendly. In addition she was very fair with the fees as well. I liked the services she preformed so much that in my pursuit of purchasing a home, I chose Joan to help guide me along in the process. Turns out the contract with the sellers wasn't in my best interest so I decided to cancel it. But with that being said I will continue to use her services and refer her to anyone that I know that needs a real estate attorney.

Our pleasure with the professional,prompt and knowledgeable experience with Joan is immeasurable. Her rapid(within minutes) return of my phone call was impressive. Our case re: landlord/tenant problems was resolved very much to our satisfaction. Joan always went above and beyond throughout my many ...traumatic and dramatic moments during this dispute. Her knowledge of the law re: tenant rights was quite evident. I don't think you can do better than to hire Joan.

I contacted Joan Fenstermaker to help me recover my security deposit from a previous landlord. I gave her the details, but I thought I would not have a case because the landlord had some misleading documents. She assured me that we did have a good case, and she quickly got to work. She was extremely ...easy to talk to and accessible, and in less than 3 months, I had my full security deposit back.
