Law Offices of John E Brennock

I’m not a normally litigious person, so I haven’t ever needed to contact a lawyer before. I received a recommendation for Mr. Brennock from a friend, and am very happy with the work that he’s done for me.
I found his communication to be punctual, straightforward, and easy to understand. I know reading into legalese can sometimes feel a little like drowning, but Mr. Brennock did an astounding job of walking me through his explanations and expectations for my case. Also, throughout my work with him, anytime I thought of checking in with him on the state of things, I was surprised to find I had already received an e-​mail, and he was a day ahead of addressing my concerns. I also appreciated how upfront he was about pricing.
He really exceeded my expectations, and I’m ready to recommend him to anyone else in need of a lawyer. Thanks John!

I bought a two flat with a tenant that was in the process of being evicted. I didn’t want to use the closing attorney, so called John based on a recommendation.
I’m so glad I did! Not only did he save me money, but, more importantly, he patiently explained the process and what my options were concerning the eviction so I was able to make an informed decision on how best to proceed. Further, he prepared the necessary releases for the tenants to sign, and even reached out to the tenants to explain the document. The tenants signed off on the release, and were out before the sheriff had to come.
It’s been my experience in dealing with attorneys that some simply do not want to spend the time explaining the law to their clients — expecting the client to make decisions based on unclear or incomplete information. Not the case with John — again, he spent the necessary time with me to explain both my rights and the tenants’ rights under the law so I had a clear understanding of what was at stake. This enabled me to proceed through the eviction process confident that I would be able to get the tenants out quickly and with minimal cost. Simply put, I highly recommend him.

Mr. Brennock was supportive and timely in responding to my issue with a roommate (friend… Messy) who failed/​refused to pay rent. Although I decided to eat my losses and move on, Brennock was understanding and courteous while explaining options for the future. Highly recommend!

If you ever consider breaking a lease with your landlord in Chicago, you should give John Brennock a call. You can trust him and count on him. He knows his subject matters extremely well and uses his professional and legal expertise to guide and advise you. Here is my story.
My former Chicago landlord generally sent a lease renewal form to tenants 60 days prior to the end of a leasing term. In early May, I applied for a job outside of Illinois and never expected to get the job. In mid-​May, at my landlord’s request, I returned my lease renewal form for a new 12-​month lease. Two months later the job I applied for hired me. I immediately worked with my landlord (ie. offering a settlement) to void my 12-​month lease, but they refused to do so. My former Chicago landlord had returned security deposits to all tenants years ago, so my only given option was to sublet. At that point in time, I did not have time to go through all the steps for sublet as I had 4 weeks to move out of Illinois. I found John Brennock on
and contacted him. He helped me get out of the lease in a clean slate.
I am very thankful for John’s help and certainly recommend him to anyone.
