A divorce lawyer should be able to get results.  Whether you are going through an uncontested or contested divorce, you have rights that can be lost without an effective divorce attorney. From the moment you meet us at your initial consultation, it will be clear that the Law Office of Jason Ostendorf can protect your rights. Our firm has a proven history of getting results.

What Rights Should a Divorce Attorney Be Able to Protect?

Divorce laws are complex, and child custody, visitation, alimony, and property rights can be lost. You may have a variety of rights concerning the marital home, income, pensions, and other matters. A divorce lawyer should be able to protect these rights. At your consultation, you should make sure the attorney can advise you of what your rights are, and explain what will be done to protect them.

What Else Should Be Included in a Divorce Lawyer's Services?

A competent divorce lawyer should also be able to provide outlook and guidance, and relieve the client of uncertainty and worry at every stage of  a legal separation and divorce. The attorney should treat you with dignity and respect, keep you informed of the status of your case, and place your interests above all else. While the attorney should be professional, you should have no doubt that the attorney is an aggressive advocate. Additionally, it should be clear from the initial meeting that the attorney is not afraid to take the case to trial if the other side does not enter an agreement that meets your needs.

Why Choose the Law Office of Jason Ostendorf?

What makes our firm unique is that we are not just effective negotiators, we have a history of real trial experience and success. We handle all aspects of legal separation and divorce, including separation agreements, child custody, visitation, property division, alimony, and more.  Our approach is two-fold.  We first attempt to negotiate with the opposing spouse, and protect your rights in a binding separation agreement.  If, however, the opposing spouse does not cooperate, the firm wastes no time in relentlessly asserting your rights to the court. 

What About Fees, How Much Will This Cost?

While many Maryland divorce lawyers bill on an unpredictable hourly basis, our firm offers a flat rate payment option.  We do not charge hidden fees, and you do not need to worry about a retainer agreement that changes drastically each month.  Feel free to ask about our low flat rate for an uncontested quick divorce, and our fixed monthly payment plan for a contested divorce.

Where Do We Go From Here?

The first step is to schedule a consultation so our firm can examine your case in detail. Before the end of the consultation, we will advise you of what your rights are, how to proceed, how long your case should take, and what the court might award to you in terms of property, child custody, visitation, and support, occupancy of the home, and alimony.
