Joan Marie Fenstermaker

Joan walks on water! Words fail to describe what a pleasure it was to work with Joan on an extremely distressing tenant/landlord case. Not only is Joan very attentive and responsive, but she’s also assertive and eager to keep the case moving forward. Once you speak with her, you’ll know that she is... someone who knows the law inside and out. She thoroughly explained our options to us, took our very challenging case and successfully fought for our rights. Joan took personal interest in our case and situation and helped us with all aspects of our case. If you need an excellent landlord/tenant/RLTO, or real estate attorney, don’t waste your time by looking any further

My husband and I hired Joan to represent us in a dispute with an individual with a long history of "problemmatic" behavior. Due to the nature of the settlement, I can't disclose specific details. However, I can share that Joan advocated on our behalf *relentlessly*. She provided us with consistent up...dates about the case and ultimately negotiated a settlement of all of the money we sought (we were very pleased). I have *never* had a reason to hire a lawyer before and I was pretty devastated that we would even be in a position to need to hire one. Joan reassured us early and throughout the process that she was able to handle our case successfully. She delivered on all of her promises. A lot of people think that the law is a "do it yourself" kind of thing with pre-paid legal and other "services". It's not. I'm glad that we had Joan as a lawyer on our side. I would highly recommend her for any real estate dispute.

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 did a excellent job helping me purchase my condo. My condo was not easy to purchase because there were many complications with the seller. Joan did a Great job of keeping me aware of my options. Further, she did a great job of advising me on legal issues. She also did a great job of expressing h...er legal opinion but at the same time respecting my decisions. She was able to answer all my questions and always seemed a step ahead. Finally, she advised me on various issues that came up in a timely fashion to keep me protected. I reccomend Joan because she is competent, loyal to client, knowledgeable, and accessible .
