Joan Marie Fenstermaker

..same old story. I got my deposit withheld for absolutely no reason. I consulted with 3 other lawyers before Joan. It turned out; I’m in the worst possible combination of legal formalities. All of them basically advised me to give up because neither they or anyone else will move their fingers about ...it, unless I give nearly 3 times the amount, I fight for, just to start a case…, so unfair and frustrating! One of the lawyers at least recommended Ms. Fenstermaker to me. So I called her. For the next about 2-3 weeks, we spoke couple times by the phone and exchanged couple e-mails…so – no many empty talks. She also confirmed, I’m in a bad situation but didn’t say “no”, neither “yes”. As I said, she called me couple times, asked me couple questions….the third time Joan called me, she just asked me: where to send the check with my money back!!! Thank You!

I had a CRAZY situation with a Crappy ex-Landlord. they refused to give me my deposit after I moved out and then accused me of not paying the rent. Joan took the time to listen to my case and she helped me stay calm and strong while the opposition's attorney treated me as if I were little more tha...n dirt. Long story short: Joan got them to settle and then some. She is now my first choice for any and ALL my legal matters.

From the initial consultation through our settlement, working with Joan was a dream come true. She was sympathetic to our plight with our landlord and thoroughly researched all of their violations of the Chicago RLTO. She wrote a great demand letter and convinced our landlords to settle, thereby savi...ng us the hassle of going to court. When we weren't sure whether we should pursue the case in court, Joan gave us her professional take on our chances but left the option open to us. Her input was invaluable and we couldn't be happier with the result. Thank you, Joan!

Attorney Joan Fenstermaker is an amazing counsel. She listened to my story and convinced me that I did have a serious case worth pursuing. I am very grateful to have met Joan when I really felt I had no where else to turn and I can honestly say I am impressed with her genuine passion to see justice... prevail. Attorney Fenstermaker represented my case to the Judge thoughtfully and thoroughly which resulted in a quick ruling in my favor! I am extremely satisfied with the work she did for me and if I ever need an attorney again, I would not hesitate seeking her advice and direction.
