Joan Marie Fenstermaker

I was a renter in a situation where I had to break a lease with a large major-market property management company. Initially, I had contacted the property management company about extreme noise levels, faulty and broken essential equipment, and poor conditions of the apartment building - I received no... response from management despite multiple requests. I was at wit's end until I contacted Joan. I had emailed her for legal counsel in Mid-November. Joan helped me resolve the issue in a matter of weeks. Transparent, responsive, communicative, and knowledgeable, Joan provided me with a step-by-step understanding of what I could expect from a legal point of view. I wish I had reached out to Joan sooner; she helped me get away from a bad situation, and I am truly grateful for her help as it has improved my quality of life. I have friends who are renters and should they require legal counsel, I will be recommending Joan.

After speaking with multiple lawyers who made me feel unintelligent and hopeless about my case, Joan swooped in and finally gave me confidence in my situation. Especially because this was my first experience hiring a lawyer, I had a lot of questions! Joan was patient, communicative and extremely know...ledgeable. I would recommend her for anyone who is searching for guidance in tenant/landlord disputes. She knows her stuff!

My elderly parents were involved in a rent dispute with their landlord. Joan Fenstermaker handled my parents' case with compassion and resolved the case with a great result. Her legal skills are second to none. She is the attorney you want on your side if you are a tenant in a legal dispute with y...our landlord.

I highly recommend Joan. She helped me expunge and seal the file on an eviction that was legally served but completely unjustified. I learned a lesson on how to approach tenant/landlord disagreements: call a lawyer early - right away! You don't want put yourself in my situation where you're looking a...t a lawsuit and an eviction notice *after moving out*. Still, even given my sticky situation, Joan was able to help me tremendously. She knows the judges, she knows the laws, and within 3 months I had a check in hand from my landlord. I paid him nothing because he had been breaking several laws that I would not have known about without Joan.
