Wonderful Attorney

I have known Mr. Orenberg for many years and over those years he has been my attorney helping me with Real Estate, Employment and personal matters. He is always willing to take time and listen to all issues. He is careful and smart and gets the job done. He's the best.

Excellent attorney!

Great attorney. He was very easy to communicate with and returned all my emails and phone calls extremely promptly. Very personable as well as concise and to the point in explaining each stage of the process and our gameplan. When the time came, even though it was ridiculous it even got to a trial st...age, he vigorously and zealously argued my case in court, earning an acquittal. He prepares thoroughly and diligently, but I could tell he's also very quick and nimble on his feet whenever a witness or officer tries to throw a curveball. I'd strongly recommend him for any with a traffic ticket matter, as that's the type of matter he represented me for.

Highest Regards

I've had two occasions where I have had to engage Mr. Orenberg's services. One was a personel injury case where he was of great assistance navigating my case through a myriad of obstacles both here in the USA and in Canada. Another time i was involved in a car accident and his quick assistance was i...nvaluable. He responds quickly to phone calls and emails.

Supurb DUI attorney

Mr. Orenberg is an amazing attorney. He helped my teenage son deal with a very touch situation. He was responsive and knowledgeable, easing our minds and most certainly our son's. We recommend him highly and urge other families to consider him if needed

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
