Joan Marie Fenstermaker

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, executed her agreed upon tasks with professionality and dispatch. Her knowledge of the matter in dispute was excellent. We avoided going to court and she negotiated a settlement which was satisfactory to us. We would without hesitation engage her again in Chicago Tenant Landlord disputes. ...

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.

Working with Joan was my first experience hiring a lawyer and I couldn't be happier with the result. I was so impressed with her knowledge, professionalism, and her genuine passion for tenant advocacy. Joan was direct and reassuring in our conversations and worked quickly to secure a fair resolution.... I would strongly recommend Joan and her team to anyone in Chicago experiencing issues with their landlord.
