About Stephen

Helping you find the path to financial freedom

I grew up in the small town of Johnstown, Pennsylvania where I learned the value of hard work, a "blue collar" mentality and a respect for your neighbors. I try my best to bring these qualities to representation of my clients.  Whether working with an individual on a bankruptcy, assisting a business in litigation, or working with a buyer and seller on the closing of a home, I bring personalized attention and compassion to my work.  I strive to provide high quality, individualized and cost effective service to my clients.  In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family, running and playing golf.

    Review Stephen Orchard

    Bankrupcy Attorney

    Posted by

    In my experience, not only was Stephen Orchard well-qualified, ethical and knowledgeable as an attorney, but he was also very understanding, available, patient and kind. He led me through the bankruptcy steps and answered all my questions promptly so I always knew what to expect next and was prepared. Stephen made the process as painless as possible as he guided me to a successful conclusion of my case. I have and will continue to recommend him to others in need of his expertise.

    Couldn't ask for more

    Posted by

    After doing extensive research online and interviewing a number of attorneys in the Palm Beach area, I decided to hire Mr. Orchard to handle my mother's bankruptcy case. Stephen is knowledgeable, personable, and readily available (even on weekends). He made my mother's bankruptcy a smooth process with clear communication, realistic expectations, and preparedness. Don't look any further for representation!
