Ellis Michael Oster's Lawyer Endorsements
"My firm handles a high volume of foreclosure defense litigation in the State of New York which means that we litigate with and against all of the firms that which handle lender representation in the state. As such, having that my firm and I are very familiar with all of the firms representing lenders in New York; I endorse Mr. Ellis M. Oster for being a highly competent and ethical attorney. I believe that Mr. Oster is truly a "cut above" the rest of the attorneys and law firms that which represent lenders in New York foreclosure actions. I have a deep amount of respect and appreciation for Mr. Oster's skills as an attorney as well as the demeanor in which he conducts himself. The lending community as a whole should feel comfortable in entrusting their litigated foreclosure matters to Mr. Oster. -Ivan E. Young, Esq. Principal Counsel Young Law Group, PLLC"
