Brendan helped me recover a mortgage loan I thought lost in a matter of days! He explained my legal options and all the possible outcomes very clearly. He is very resourceful a shows a high level of expertise. Him and Doris provided an outstanding level of service; very responsive, always accessible and very friendly.

My boyfriend and I used Brendan and Doris for the purchase and sale of our home and I can't say enough good things about them. Doris was by far the most responsive person in the entire transaction and she would take the time to explain anything/everything that we found confusing. It would be an understatement to say I was pleased with our service- they were amazing!! I think Doris and Brendan really went above and beyond to make our experience as painless as possible. I can't thank them enough!! I will definitely hire them in the future!

I have worked with Brendan and his team three times over the past two years and I highly recommend their services. Brendan helped us close on a home sale and a home purchase last month and he also helped us draft rental agreements and consulted with us on another property. Brendan and his team are tremendously diligent and responsive and their fees are very reasonable - especially considering the high quality work that they do. I will work with Brendan again and I highly recommend his services.

My landlord of 30 years did not want to pay interest on deposit, insisting it was in the lease excluding it from the City of Chicago Ordinance which demanded it. Mr. Blair informed me that there could not be a exception to this mandate, wrote a very direct but friendly letter to my former landlord for me stating the law. It worked! My landlord who is very difficult to deal with agreed to pay the interest on the deposit in the near future! Enjoyed the friendly, prompt, and effective interaction between me as well as the landlord. Mr. Blair was very knowledgable about the issue I needed help with!

I had an excellent experience with Brendan Appel for my real estate legal help. He was very thorough, attentive, offered expert advice and a nice person. It was a good feeling to know he was in my corner.

I recently used Brendan for the purchase of a piece of property that I used to build a new house. Having never built a home before there were several steps in the process that were new to me. Brendan was very helpful and thorough in explaining to me everything and guiding me into making educated decisions on the contract terms. Brendan's and his team were very responsive when communicating and helped make the process go smoothly for me from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Brendan and use him again in the future.

Brendan did a great job on both closings for a new condominium and existing home. On the closing for our new condominium it was noted they had some wrong information on the deed. We were told the information was wrong since the beginning on the original and subsequent deeds and that we should just accept the mistake. Brendan said that was not acceptable and had all the preceding deeds for the property changed to reflect the correct information.

Brendan is very responsive, easy contact with the office and staff, worked with him twice. He caught some unreasonable fees listed on the closing sheet, so his service was virtually "free". Highly recommended.

Brendan's firm did a brilliant job helping us with the sale of our home. Their perseverance was exceptional and they kept us informed at every step. We recommend them most highly and without reservation.
