James is an outstanding attorney. He really goes above and beyond for his clients. I hired James and have retained him since for many years. I've always been leary of attorneys, yet James will really go out of his way to find you justice. Mr. Ostendorf saved this veterans life!

Very professional and helpful. James was quickly attune to what service I needed. I left him in charge, and I was very pleased with the demand letter. He was sensitive, on target with the issue and very timely with the delivery.

Mr. Ostendorf I must say is just the right amount of assertive. He does not give up a good fight and he is extremely fair and reviews each case as a winner! I have been inspired by him, to refer to people who are positive, fighters, assertive, fair and with tremendous justice, as Positively Assertive. Others would say aggressive, but Mr. Ostendorf is a straight shooter, and he obviously loves his work. He fights to win. He is firm, no nonsense, relentless, and he does great deal of research, far more I found out than the other team. I came out of my case, as the definite winner and Mr. Ostendorf was simply outstanding. He is very eager to win to the greatest benefit of his/her client. He leaves no stone unturned.

I hired James Ostendorf to represent me for a possession charge in Ma. I was referred to him by the NRA. Attorney Ostendorf represented me with professionalism and a clear knowledge of the MA justice system. He was always responsive, clear and to the point. He was exactly the lawyer I needed. He also worked with me on payment and billing since I was also unemployed at the time as well. An awesome one of a kind attorney that cares for you from the heart. Even though I don't anticipate anymore issues, I am keeping him on retainer anyway.

I retained Atty. Ostendorf to handle a license renewal application which stalled in a state office of license renewals. The matter was litigated on the district court level with a positive outcome.. Atty. Ostendorf worked tirelessly on my behalf with state and local officials, as well as with the court. I would recommend Atty. Ostendorf without reservation.

James was up front and honest with my housing issue. He insisted on reviewing my case prior to arranging a consultation and payment of his services to see wether or not it would be worth spending money on lawyers fee's. He explained my situation to me clearly and promptly despite not having received any compensation. The fact that he wants to actually see if he can help before charging me speaks volumes about his personal integrity. A real gem amongst many who are just interested in collecting money from you rather than actually supporting their clients. James comes across as upfront, honest and seems genuinely concerned with actually helping his clients. Many other lawyers I tried to contact regarding my case were insistent on payment(often to the sum of 500) before even reviewing my case or options - and were even asking for payment of a retainer. What would be the point in hiring somebody who wants to charge you 500-1000USD for a disputed sum of 3700USD JUST to review your case and explain the legal dos/donts. Take this guy on if you need legal help! He is absolutely worth his weight in terms of what you pay. Honest, straightforward and approachable.

Mr. Ostendorf is very knowledgeable in the field my organization needed help in. He continues to assist us and a responsive and timely manner. We struggled through many lost days to figure our course of action and Mr. Ostendorf was able to point us in the right direction and make things move quickly. What took us months to attempt to accomplish, Mr Ostendorf was able to do in a matter of days.
