Law Office of Jason Ostendorf LLCMaryland Appellate Lawyer
Maryland Appeals & Fourth Circuit Representation
Trial courts sometimes misinterpret or misapply the law, abuse their discretion, or make findings that are clearly erroneous. When that happens, appellate review may provide a means to correct the error. An experienced Maryland appellate lawyer can identify appealable issues, analyze the record, and present those issues effectively to the reviewing court.
The Law Office of Jason Ostendorf LLC provides appellate representation throughout Maryland and in federal appellate matters. Mr. Ostendorf regularly practices before the Appellate Court of Maryland and the Supreme Court of Maryland, and also handles appeals before the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and matters involving the United States Supreme Court. As a Maryland appellate attorney, he represents clients statewide rather than limiting his practice to a single county or region.
Our appellate approach begins with an in-depth review of the record, the trial court’s findings and rulings, and the issues preserved for appellate review. We conduct extensive legal research, identify the strongest appellate arguments, and prepare a focused and persuasive appellate brief. When oral argument is granted, we prepare to address the questions most likely to concern the appellate court.
Mr. Ostendorf has approximately 20 years of litigation experience and has argued before the Supreme Court of Maryland. His trial-level experience in family law, civil litigation, consumer protection, and other contested matters provides practical insight into how records are developed and how trial-court rulings are evaluated on appeal.
