Brabender Law Reviews

Ross 2026.10.11

     

Attempting to find legal assistance while in the midst of a dealing with a stressful landlord situation was something that felt very intimidating, but I am so glad Andy and his firm got recommended to me from a friend. Andy was extremely professional, easy to communicate with throughout the process of my situation, and most importantly -- was extremely knowledgeable about Chicago tenant law. He expertly guided me through a few rough months and ultimately helped me settle out of court with my landlord for a favorable sum. Don't let landlords/slumlords bully you and break the law! Work with Andy.

Andy Brabender represented me and my neighbor. Our previous landlord, sold his property and didn’t turn over our security deposit to the current landlord. The previous landlord wouldn’t answer our calls text or emails. After the hiring Mr. Brabender, we didn’t have to call text or email the previous landlord anymore. Mr. Brabender got right on it. He got us double the amount of our security deposit. We were astonished how quickly, we received our payment. If I can give Mr. Brabender more than five stars, I would.

I dealt with Andy several years ago for a pretty small deposit nonetheless, he did a great job of being professional handling the case I my behalf and it was an expedited process. I recommend him to all of my friends and family and he does a great job

Andy provided the best legal advice for my roommate and I during our dispute with our landlord. He was very responsive, listened to our story, and was easy to work with. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs assistance with their landlords during tenancy!

I first contacted Andy in 2019 when my landlord witheld my security deposit for no reason thinking I had no recourse. Andy helped me recover the security deposit plus some penalties, which covered his legal fees so that I didn't have to pay anything. I got the security deposit back plus some extra money for my trouble. In the years that followed I moved out of Chicago, where Andy practices, and have tried to find other lawyers to help with landlord-tenant issues, but have not been successful. It seems that Andy is one of a kind. So I've kept in touch with him from time to time for advice, and, in fact, I've also used a lawyer he recommended for other issues, not relating to real estate.

Andy was great to work with and helped me right from the start. I had a dispute with my landlord about our security deposit and I knew that they were in the wrong. I found Andy on a search in Google and although I was apprehensive to call a lawyer, he made me feel comfortable and assured me I would not owe him money unless we won the settlement and he was paid from the landlord (Which was a surprise at first, but glad he shared that information). After helping me look through the leasing contract he found multiple things the landlord had done outside of the law. He sent a formal letter to the landlord and ended up winning me my security deposit back. He was super easy to work with, very communicative, and was open for discussion any time I had questions. If you need help with a landlord dispute, give Andy a call!!

Andy handled a security deposit case for me and was amazing. My landlord didn’t handle the refund properly and was banking on me to be uninformed. He was wrong. I knew the laws but Andy enforced them to the max and moved us through the process quickly. He was also able to get additional damages paid out in my case. Would highly recommend him.

I was living in Wicker Park and a dispute with my landlord erupted over the conditions of my departure. Startled, I called Brabender Law and asked about options. Andy was cordial, sensible and gently tenacious as he directed me to take legal action. I felt confident with him representing me, and for good reason, as we settled almost overnight. The landlord caved, I got paid fairly, and I learned a happy lesson about the legal system. Know your rights and find a good lawyer to exercise them! Would recommend Brabender Law without a second thought.

Andy Brabender represented me and my roomates a dozen years ago and I still to this day recommend him to anyone who tells me they're having landlord trouble. Even though we were 24 year olds who didn't know anything, Andy communicated with respect, kindness and efficiency. Having him on our side was honestly the best thing we could've done. Don't hesitate.

I strongly recommend Attorney Brabender for any landlord-tenant dispute. He genuinely cares about his clients as individuals and keeps you clearly informed every step of the way. Having someone so dependable and compassionate in your corner makes all the difference.
