Joan Marie Fenstermaker

Joan instantly instantly gave us the reassurance that was needed in a stressful Tenant/Landlord case from the initial consultation. She put our worries at ease with clear communication and responded swiftly and accurately with the details for the case. At all times we had the utmost confidence as di...splayed in her professionalism in getting the matter quickly and positively resolved. I would have no qualms in recommending her services to anyone who has a situation like we did as she knows the RLTO inside out. This is the go-to lawyer in Chicago in my opinion.

My landlord was attempting to keep my security deposit when I had given him 60 days notice that I would be out prior to my end date. I contact Joan for help. From the first call, she talked to me for over 30 minutes and was very helpful. I forwarded her the email correspondence, which proved my case,... and she took care of the rest. I never had to go into her office, or anything. I would definitely Joan for your legal needs.

I contacted Joan because I needed help getting out of a lease in the city of Chicago. I had talked to people (property management and Tenant's Rights hotline) and received conflicting information, so I wasn't sure of my options. Once I made contact with Joan, she simplified everything with her cle...ar, direct, questions and answers. I followed her advice, and she successfully got me out of the lease, and was also successful in pursuing damages. Joan is straightforward, and doesn't waste her time or yours. Joan returned texts and calls very promptly and on week-ends and a holiday. She resolved my situation in a little over a month - start to finish. I highly recommend her!

I have a problem with a devil and crazy landlord who not only confiscated my $900 deposit unreasonably, but also threatened to sue me for extra $50000. My friend recommended Joan to me. Joan was very professional. She explained my case so I had a full understanding of my right and violation of the la...ndlord. She helped me to fight the landlord and finally we won the lawsuit. I definitely would recommend her to a friend.

When my landlord illegally withheld my security deposit, the Metropolitan Tenants Organization recommended that I contact Joan Fenstermaker. We had a short phone discussion to go over the facts of the case and she drafted a demand letter detailing all of my landlord's violations of the RLTO. Once the... demand letter was received, Joan facilitated the negotiation process with the landlord and I was able to settle out of court for more than the value of my original security deposit! Joan is an expert on the Chicago RLTO and was clear, prompt, and responsive (by phone and/or email) throughout the entire process. If you want to get your security deposit back quickly, I would strongly recommend contacting Joan Fenstermaker.
