We were forced to seek legal help when our landlord would not give us our security deposit back. Andy was so helpful through the process. We really appreciated the complimentary phone call we had at the beginning, and when we moved forward with the process, Andy was very transparent about the process, always available to answer our questions, and was incredibly helpful throughout the process. We were able to get our deposit back and an additional settlement amount all without going to court. We could not be more pleased with Andy and how everything turned out!

Brabender Law is great! My wife and I had an issue with landlord not returning security deposit. When we contacted Andy, he asked a lot of questions to make sure we had a case against the landlord. Once Andy got a better picture of the situation, he walked us through the process. Andy was very professional and patient. He answered all our questions and was always available. Andy was able to get the landlord to return our security deposit and pay the attorney's fees. We had a great experience working with Andy. We highly recommend him.

This was my first time contacting a lawyer. I appreciate that Andy took time for an initial (free) consultation to understand my situation and explained both the benefits and risks to me, including potential outcomes. He made me feel at ease by disclosing his fees were contingent based on a small portion of any recovered money (which was one of my concerns from the get-go). He is very knowledgeable with the Residential Landlord and Tenant Ordinance (RLTO) by asking relevant questions to formulate a detailed plan. Whenever I had a question or wanted to think about the next steps, Andy promptly responded to me. He empowered during a difficult time where I had thought the outcome was hopeless. Andy was able to successfully resolve my dispute. Overall, I highly recommend Brabender Law.

Mr. Brabender explained that trying to evict a live-in during Covid pandemic is very difficult. He advised us to seek a Landlord/Tenant lawyer.

Andy was great, from the initial phone consultation to the final resolution of my case. He clearly explained to me all the steps required, what to expect based on his experience, and also things that I can consider in the future in order to even better protect myself from landlord noncompliance with the Chicago RLTO. I appreciate his availability, quick responses, and his use of easy-to-use technical solutions for things like scheduling calls, signing documents, and submitting information to him that was pertinent to my case. All in all my experience with Andy was incredibly positive and I strongly recommend him for tenants interested in understanding or pursuing claims under the RLTO.

I would highly recommend Andy Brabender & his law firm. He helped me recover my security deposit. He talked me through every step of the way, everything was explained in a way I could understand & he made it very easy. He is very thorough & maintained great communication throughout my case. He exceeded all my expectations & I would not hesitate to call him again.

Andy Brabender got my security deposit, plus damages, with very little work on my part. He was extremely professional, kind, responsive, and patient with all my questions. Most important, he and his team got results quickly when I thought I'd never get my deposit back! Highly recommend this legal group for landlord related problems.

We could not have asked for a better resolution or handling of our situation. Mr. Brabender walked us through every step of the process and is extremely knowledgeable and open on every aspect of the legal proceedings. He is prompt, honest, and experienced. Mr. Brabender patiently walked us through a very stressful dispute with our landlord and offered much needed guidance along the way. We would recommend him to anyone needing his services.

Andy handled a landlord-tenant dispute for me (the tenant) and did a great job. We were on a very tight timeline and he was incredibly responsive and also did a great job keeping all parties to these tight timelines as well. Andy is clearly super knowledgeable about tenant laws here in Chicago and his advice and expertise was not only invaluable and key to winning our case, but was also very important for any future situations I may run into as either a tenant or a landlord. Overall, I'm completely satisfied with the outcome, I felt Andy represented my needs first and foremost, and the whole process was much easier than I anticipated which made all the difference in whether or not to pursue the matter in the first place. If you or someone else runs into a landlord-tenant dispute, I highly recommend reading Andy's e-book (it's free!) and take his advice! Set up a consultation if it makes sense and take his word if it's worth pursuing or not. Andy did a great job laying it out clearly what the risks were for me if I chose to pursue things and whether or not it was worth taking the risk. I think many other attorneys might jump at the chance to make a buck rather than taking the time to explain if pursuing a matter actually puts you at more risk than that matter might be worth. I will be referring friends and family.
