I called the office for a consult regarding some issues with my landlord and Andy was so helpful! The consult was free, he had already reviewed my lease, and he spent about 30 minutes on the phone with me (the same day that I originally called). When I followed up with a thank you email, he continued to offer advice on what kinds of things should be included in the follow up paperwork, etc. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing legal representation for a landlord issue. He was honest and had a lot of information to offer. Thanks Andy!

The length of my court case was long and stressful but Ava Toulopakis provided professionalism, ambition, and comfort during the process. I am exceedingly satisfied with the results of the case. I highly recommend her services!

Ava was extremely helpful during my divorce case which ended up going to trial. After meeting and preparing together I was confident having Ava not only represent me but also question the many witnesses we had. Ava stood by my side and wanted what was best for my daughter and myself. She never wavered from our goal! Ava was able to help me earn sole custody and even received child support from a spouse who rarely worked. I appreciate all that Ava did to make my divorce end the way it did. I would recommend Ava to anyone facing a tough family situation who needs legal help.

My experiences working with Ava started when she efficiently helped me with my divorce. Our divorce was mediated and allowed us to breeze through with a lack of acrimony and the most reasonable bill conceivable. This fine service lead to me recommending two of my friends who each has custody battles involving children. The list of fine attributes includes: A level of sensitivity toward the needs of children that is unparalleled Reasonable Fees, I said it, reasonable Availability The ability to perform professionally in the midst of emotional situations Efficient prompt communications If you use a different attorney for your custody and divorce needs I wish you good luck as that will be what you need the most. Peace, Frank K

I needed immediate advice on a tenant/landlord issue. Andy Brabender gave me an honest and swift answer. I highly recommend him.

Andy Brabender is a great individual to contact if you are going through any legal issues. He is very knowledgable with all components of the law and how it is applied in Chicago. When I reached out to Andy, I received a call the same day I contacted him and had a long great discussion on what my next steps were. He was very easy to contact through email and we couldn't have asked for an easier experience. Thank you so much Andy.

I was in desperate need for a tenant/ landlord lawyer in the area and had previously encountered some very strange phone calls by sub-par lawyers before I was referred to Andy Brabender. I needed legal counsel ASAP and he went above and beyond to prioritze my situation. I had never used a legal service before and Andy immediately put me at ease... talking me through all my options and patiently answering my questions. I would defintely refer him to anyone who might need legal counsel... he helped make a very difficult time bearable! Give him a call! You won't regret it!

Andy was great. My landlord tried to illegally withhold my security deposit and Andy got my money back including damages. He was professional and straightforward - I can't imagine the situation being handled better. Highly recommend.

I had the pleasure of working with Andy after being referred to him by a friend. Unfortunately, I was in a bit of a messy personal injury situation that I had to deal with while being halfway across the country. So the first dozen or so interactions with Andy were virtual. It's not often that I trust someone with this level of detail about my life without shaking their hand and/or sitting across the table from them. However, Andy made the process as pain-free as possible. He was incredibly prompt, on the ball, and straight to the point with no BS. He boiled legal jargon down into a digestible format and was patient with me when I asked him to repeat concepts over and over. Andy never left me hanging, so I didn't have to worry about "managing" him like you do with other lawyers, consultants, etc., which in turn lowered my stress level and let me sleep easier at night. Lastly, he was completely up front about the expenses he was incurring and always laid out financial implications/trade-offs of decisions we were making. I was never surprised or upset at the invoices he sent me. Bottom line is that I would recommend Andy to just about anyone who needs a good personal injury lawyer in Chicago.

I was able to break my lease, bad landlord-bad communication, Brabender and Chiang LLC was able to get out of the lease, it was easy and affordable. Excellent communication either by email or phone Andrew was always available or at least be able to get back at me ASAP. I will recommended to anyone trying to break a lease in Chicago.
