Exceptional

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...telligent. He was very factual and to the point, which I appreciated. He was also patient and kind with me during moments when I wasn’t so quick to a point, and I’m very pleased with the overall outcome the lawsuit. I felt that I was in good hands the entire time.

Foreclosure

Very best lawyer I ever dealt with. Helped save my home for me, my wife and two children. Jason Ostendorf is an excellent lawyer that I would highly recommend. He went above and beyond the call of duty, getting us everything we asked for and then some, explaining the whole process as we went along.... I was worried about price also but very reasonable especially considering the results. Again I highly recommend this lawyer, well worth the money.

Outstanding Appeals and Foreclosure Defense Lawyer

This attorney is incredible! A few years ago Mr. Ostendorf helped me with a foreclosure mess. First, he stopped the foreclosure in Harford County. Then he turned around and sued the mortgage company in Baltimore City. That court initially threw the case out, but he appealed and got it back on trac...k. Shortly afterwards it settled. So I got to keep my house and more!

Great lawyer, give him a try

I used him in a consumer/foreclosure matter. He was honest about what to expect at the initial consultation, and did not try to sell as hard as a lot of other attorneys. He won my case against a bank for me, we got a settlement and saved my home.
