Shouldn’t practice “Family” law

Should advertise expertise in limiting contact with parents from their children.. if you’re looking for a positive resolution, not your guy.. want to cause trauma to your children by removing access to a parent, this is your guy

Expert legal services provided by Scott W. Orr, Esq.

Scott W. Orr, Esq. recently represented me in my divorce settlement, which was rather complicated due the fact I was married approximately thirty years and have a "special needs" child that will require lifetime support. Scott, was extremely professional, caring and responsive throughout the entire ...process and, more importantly, was always the "voice of reason" in coming up with fair solutions for all parties involved. Without hesitation, I highly recommend anyone seeking expert legal advise from someone who is always fair and practical to engage the services of Scott E. Orr, Esq.

Absolutely the best!

First and foremost, Scott jumped right in and onto my case, ready, willing and able to help be beyond what I expected. He is reasonable, knowledgeable, but to me, most importantly, available when I needed him, ready to take on any situation I brought to him. During a very stressful time, Scott kept... me level headed, prepared me for whatever was coming my way and had me laughing when that was the last thing I wanted to do. Scott came recommended to me by a family friend and we will absolutely be recommending him going forward. He checks off all the boxes when it comes to needing help during divorce and mediation. Can't thank him enough!!

Excellent Attorney

Scott Orr is a superb attorney--not only knowledgeable but also a kind and compassionate counselor. He was an expert guide to a difficult and painful process of securing a consent order for relocation with my child. Scott worked diligently and conscientiously to reach the best outcome for me. He very... patiently answered all my questions and concerns and kept me focused on the facts and not tangled up in all the emotion. Scott is excellent, and I would recommend him to anyone.
