It was my extremely good fortune to have hired Jason to represent me in a recent divorce mediation. Jason is the best attorney I’ve ever encountered and believe me, I’ve encountered many. He makes himself accessible to his clients and answers your questions thoroughly, while maintaining a sense...

I hired this attorney to handle a insurance claim, unfortunately I had to dismiss him. As I was being Gouged for fees after fees and paid him ruffly $18,000, within a year with no success, and clearly this attorney requested more fees just to tell me a year later I would walk away with about $1000.00...
A close reading of this complaint shows that the only real issue was that I billed for my services. It is not wrong for an attorney to be paid for his work. Interestingly, the person omits the fact that I offered her several discounts. When it became clear that the insurance company we sued was trying to bully her with paperwork in order to raise litigation expenses, I felt bad for her, and offered several discounts (I would not bill for a task here and there in an effort to actually keep costs down). Indeed, after adding together all of the discounts noted in this person's invoices, I saved her over $1,000. But again, she conveniently omits this fact. The last issue with the person's criticism concerns the termination. When a client fires a lawyer, the lawyer is required to notify the court. This is for the client's protection. It causes the court to temporarily pause and allow the client some time to get their affairs in order and seek alternative counsel. So, there is no merit to the person's complaints along these lines.

While a long, and daunting process at times, Jason was every bit patient with my unending que...

I hired Mr. Ostendorf to help me handle issues arising from my ex-husband’s refusal to follow sections of our marital settlement. Jason helped me navigate foreclosure issues (due to my ex-husband’s inactions) and represented me in a subsequent lawsuit against him. It’s clear that Jason is very in...

Mr. Ostendorf was very professional and courteous with me, in helping me through my divorce. He answered all my questions thoughtfully and was cognizant of my limited funds. I trust his judgement and would highly recommend him in the future.
