Joan Marie Fenstermaker

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!

Joan recently helped a previous roommate and me reach a successful settlement with a prior landlord who unlawfully withheld portions of our deposit and charged unlawful fees. Joan was professional and very responsive from beginning to end. She was kind and helpful throughout the process, but most imp...ortantly, she fought diligently and competently on our behalf. This was especially important given the stubborn and even belligerent behavior on the part of our previous landlord. Joan's fees were upfront, honest, and more than fair. This was my first litigation, and I was nervous about getting the right representation ( I have worked with several other lawyers on different cases since). In this case, I definitely found the right lawyer with Joan. There were several other lawyers I had consulted with initially, but I am so glad and grateful that I ended up working with Joan. I highly recommend her services to any one seeking justice on their behalf. If I ever need legal help regarding landlord litigation, I am most certainly returning to Joan. I have every confidence that she will again fight on my behalf to the fullest extent of the law.

Joan represented me through a long, difficult lawsuit against my landlord. She never gave up on it and pushed it through to its resolution and our win over one year later! She was incredibly persistent, helpful, supportive, professional, and kind. I would highly, highly recommend Joan to anyone havin...g landlord issues!

I hired Joan hearing her add on WCPT progressive radio in Chicago many times. I was in serious need of the best help I could get. Joan is a ROCK! From what I have heard at the time and even since after our case...she never loses as she is very thorough, diligent, honest as a favorite family member &... knows the laws inside & out. She fights hard to write an incredible thorough case detailed to go against your landlord and fight for your rights on many areas you may not even know about....HIRE HER. Joan spent countless hours researching our case history, getting past court case history documents & statutes to be added to our case. She also worked tirelessly on this for us. I highly recommend her not just for her professional prowess, but also for her honest personality which shows she has a good heart, cares about all of her clients personally, tries to help as she can, & a very decent person with morals, ethics, & integrity. Her career is stacked with success stories & cases won for honest people who have or are being taken advantage of & in lawsuits against them. She is worth it! I GUARANTEE
