The best lawyer I have worked with!
I have worked with a significant amount of lawyers over the years while paying child support for 23 years. Kevin was by far the best by far. He was attentive and straight forward, was always available for any questions I had and had the knowledge to be able to take on my more complex case. If you ...

Look No Further and Thank Me Later
Before working with Attorney Orr, I had been disappointed by my former representation(s). Others lacked professionalism, knowledge, and the time necessary to understand my case.

Kevin C Orr's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Kevin Orr is a formidable opponent whom I would have work with or represent me if I were to require legal representation as co-counsel or for myself in a matter. He is creative as well as very thorough and diligent to a point that exceeds many other attorneys in my experience. He stays relentlessy focused on achieving the result which is needed by his client."
"Kevin is the real deal. A true people’s lawyer. He approaches his cases with professionalism, integrity, responsiveness, genuine compassion and legal excellence. He is a class act."
"Approximately seven or eight years ago, Kevin and I were opposing counsel on a rather procedurally-convoluted personal injury action. He did yeoman's work on behalf of his client - who came to him only upon discovering that her original attorney had allowed her Complaint to be dismissed due to his failure to take any action on her behalf. Kevin resuscitated the matter for her and got it restored to the active trial calendar. We spent close to ten days on trial in Essex County and ended up with a fair, just verdict, which his client never would have realized but for his tireless efforts on her behalf. I am pleased to say that while we did not know one another prior to being adversaries in that matter, we have remained friends in the years since. Kevin is an excellent attorney and an even better person - a credit to the practice of law."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kevin fights hard but fairly and honestly for his clients. He is a distinguished member of the legal community who is dedicated to getting the best results for his clients."
"Kevin Orr is an experienced attorney whose participation and comments in Avvo show his commitment to serving clients as well as his level of experience. He is an excellent attorney that I recommend wholeheartedly."
"I endorse Kevin. He is a well-respected member of the legal community and a strong and passionate advocate for his clients"
"I endorse this lawyer."
"I endorse Kevin. He is a highly skilled attorney that is well respected in the legal community."
"Top-notch attorney. Highly respected in the legal community."
