Maryland Consumer Protection Appeals Lawyer

Jason Ostendorf is a Maryland consumer protection appeals lawyer with extensive experience in consumer litigation. Our firm represents clients in appellate matters involving unfair and deceptive trade practices, fraud, mortgage servicing disputes, credit reporting, electronic fund transfers, and other consumer protection claims.

Consumer Protection Litigation & Appeals

Consumer protection appeals can involve questions of statutory interpretation, evidentiary rulings, summary judgment, dismissal of claims, damages, and other legal issues decided by the trial court. Our experience litigating consumer claims provides an important foundation for evaluating the record, identifying preserved errors, and presenting consumer protection issues on appeal.

Mr. Ostendorf represents clients seeking to overturn adverse rulings as well as clients defending favorable consumer protection judgments on appeal. Learn more about our broader Maryland appellate practice.

Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA)

RESPA regulates certain mortgage servicing and loss mitigation practices and can give rise to claims involving improper conduct during the foreclosure process. Our experience with mortgage servicing and foreclosure-related consumer claims allows us to evaluate appellate issues arising from RESPA litigation and related disputes.

Electronic Fund Transfer Act (EFTA)

The Electronic Fund Transfer Act provides protections involving certain unauthorized electronic transfers and other electronic banking practices. We handle consumer disputes involving EFTA and can evaluate appellate issues arising from rulings affecting these claims.

Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

The Fair Credit Reporting Act provides important protections concerning consumer credit information and reporting. Litigation may arise when inaccurate information is reported or disputes concerning credit information are improperly handled. Our consumer and appellate experience allows us to address legal issues arising from these disputes at both the trial and appellate levels.

Maryland Consumer Appeals

An appeal is not a new trial. Appellate courts generally review the record developed below to determine whether the trial court committed reversible error. Effective representation therefore requires careful analysis of the record, preservation of issues, applicable standards of review, and the statutes and precedent governing the consumer claim.
