I moved out of an apartment recently and checked all of the normal, necessary boxes in doing so. However, the building management company tried to sneak in more month of rent under my nose by lengthening the lease on the digital lease renewal the year earlier, notifying me that I still needed to payone more month of rent even after I had already left. This was sneaky on the part of the management, but what was I to do? Enter John Brennock! He called me back immediately after I contacted him and asked for all the documents he would need to make an informed decision about how to proceed. The end result? I was out of my lease by the end of the workday and the management company never tried to contact me again.

We are experienced Landlords and for the first time, I needed legal help with a tenant dispute. John Brennock with Diaz Anselmo & Associates handled the matter to our satisfaction. I would recommend him highly and without any reservation. John Williams/ Hinsdale, IL

Worked with John Brennock on estate planning and have nothing but positive things to say. He is extremely knowledgeable, patient, professional, and always took the time to answer our many questions. The support team was excellent as well. We will be returning to John for any future legal needs!

A few months ago, I found myself calling Attorney John Brennock for his services again but this time for a serious life-threatening incident that happened in my apartment building where my cousin and I reside. Our neighbors moved from their apartment above us and management began repairs and renovations as they usually do. It was around 3:45 p.m. on Friday, April 12, 2024 when we began to smell a strange but harsh odor that penetrated throughout our whole unit. The smell literally cut our breath so much that I opened all the windows, even opened the front door. The following Monday morning my cousin called the property manager and discovered that they were working on the bathrooms however they didn’t disclose exactly what they were doing. After speaking to the property manager, we both concluded that we were exposed to some type of paint striper that contained methylene chloride. I wondered how anyone could survive that smell and not keel over without wearing protective gear when working directly with these chemicals. Then I decided to look at my security cameras to see if it captured any type of equipment they were using for renovation of this apartment. I saw two men suited up in what looked like gas masks and carried a different type of fan that was small in size with them before they went upstairs. They were finished in less than thirty minutes and obviously closed all the windows and locked the apartment door to keep vagrants out. The odor became more intense and permeated throughout our unit for hours. Mr. Brennock offered to write a letter to the property manager in regards to this incident. He isn’t a personal injury lawyer but did advise me that is what I would need if I wanted to pursue this matter. Then he informed me that I can still go to the hospital if I was still feeling bad, which we did. I thought if I didn’t go right away that there was no need. I opted out of the letter and chose to use the money that I have been saving to buy a home instead of attorney fees. He even gave me references to a couple of really good real estate agents to assist. Yeah, I know what you're saying, “Well that’s not too much.” When a lawyer returns your every call or emails, responds to all not some of your questions, explains what's in their perimeters and what is not, followed by what they can do for you, and gives advice and then follows up on that advice, puts this attorney way above the others. Would I turn to this attorney if I need to again? Yes, absolutely.

John is an excellent lawyer who has demonstrated extensive knowledge of my case. I wasn’t confident about winning until I saw him in action before the judge. His courtroom expertise was impressive, and I would definitely hire him again.
