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 of humor and a pleasant demeanor. You are never made to feel like you’re being too demanding or bothersome! He works around the clock to stay on top of your case and calms your fears when you’re feeling overwhelmed and stressed. He is an excellent researcher who can pinpoint case histories that will be relevant to your own. Having had my share of attorneys, I can tell you that Jason is of a rare breed. He cares about his clients and works diligently to provide them with a great outcome. He understands difficult personalities who oppose you and knows just how to deal with them as to not escalate the situation. He fights hard and most importantly, he WINS! It is a blessing to know Jason and I could not be happier with his service.

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 after all said and done, I refused to give him any more money as he became more aggressive during a phone conversation requesting fees after I dismissed him, and requesting $20,000, more to settle. I’m not a math wiz, but figures don’t lie. If he would have been honest in the beginning I would have walked away, and paid him for is honestly not give him a retainer of $12,000., and paying fees there after. There was a company that clearly admitted to wrong doing in writing. He retaliated against me by filing paper work of fees owed to the court, but totally not being honest and informing the courts he’s been dismissed. Lesson learned do a serious back ground check before hiring this attorney. I wish I would have done so shame on me. I tried to negotiate a partial refund for unsatisfied work after dismissing him, and the case has never been heard. Didn’t get any where, but trying to convince me how to give him more fees, and keep him on. Unfortunately I had to give him a STAR......

During the course of our legal bout with a neighbor who was engaging in targeted harassment against myself and my roommate, Mr. Ostendorf provided sound guidance on how we could get the harassment to stop. While a long, and daunting process at times, Jason was every bit patient with my unending questions over what were ultimately trivial matters ( I am not a litigious individual and this was the first time I needed to enlist the aid of legal representation). Ultimately, we settled the case with the individual due to no small part of Jason's efforts on our behalf. I will most certainly consider Jason again for any other legal issues that his expertise can lend aid to.

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 intelligent. 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.

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.

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.

I am a Cancer Patient. I informed his assistant that I would be in the hospital for most of the day and I indicated that 3pm would be the best time for me. Despite providing this information, his assistant still set up the appointment for 12:30. I paid $150.00 Consultation Fee and since I was not consulted, I requested that my money be returned to me. Now they refused to return my money. I have meager funds and this has become a real problem. If I took anyone's money, I would be thrown in jail. However, what happens when the reverse transpires? It is not fair for me to simply lose my hard-earned money. Dishonest attorney.

I retained Mr. Ostendorf, hereby known as JO, to represent me in a legal malpractice lawsuit, in which I was illegally evicted from a house I owned. In initially talking with JO, he convinced me he had copious experience in dealing with such matters and could "Get me $100k!". Frankly, at $100k, this figure did not begin to compensate me for the financial and emotional losses I endured. Nonetheless, I retained JO and we began the process and previously provided an excellent review on this website. Regrettably, from JO's initial filings, the opposing parties literally shredded his documents and found an easy way out of their obligations. It became quite obvious JO was in over his head. Some THREE YEARS later, we, naturally, lost the case...much to the surprise of JO. Please know and understand, JO was paid for his work; which had NO ECONOMIC VALUE! I am now working with replacement counsel to file a legal malpractice lawsuit against JO for his failures in handling my matters appropriately. It is my opinion, that you can do yourselves a favor and look elsewhere for an attorney, as JO is most likely not going to adequately represent you.

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 track. Shortly afterwards it settled. So I got to keep my house and more!

Mr. Ostendorf handled a divorce matter for me. Before I retained Mr. Ostendorf, my ex-husband was fighting over everything. Mr. Ostendorf was able to calm everything down, and got us into a good separation agreement.

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.
