Joan Marie Fenstermaker

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.

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.

I am an attorney myself, and a colleague of mine recommended Joan. She came highly recommended, and she did not disappoint. She was able to get us a a great result in the dispute we had with our landlord. Joan is experienced, knowledgeable, and zealous in her representation. I would recommend her to ...anyone seeking a lawyer to deal with landlord/tenancy issues!
