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.

Couldn't ask for more

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!

A class act!

Posted by

Filing bankruptcy was my last option and fortunately my best option by way of finding the right attorney. Having an insurmountable debt is a life of anxiety and limited choices so I knew I had to do something to turn my life around. I interviewed several different options for attorneys and when I met Mr. Orchard he was truly a professional that humbly displayed his expertise and knowledge of my case during our initial consultation. He gave me a clear roadmap of what to expect and what I needed to do to fix my situation. To me a true professional is someone that understands the field they are in, can articulate their knowledge to their client and listens to anticipate the needs of the case and he was great in helping with all of that. Obviously, I hired him! I would recommend the Law Offices of Stephen Orchard in Boca to anyone that is considering any services his office offers. Based on my personal experience, I was taken care of with accuracy, care and thoughtfulness. I want to Thank You so much for making this process as easy as possible so that I can now have a fresh start!

Stephen was extremely helpful with my case. Bankruptcy wasn't an easy decision for me, but he was empathetic to my situation and I felt I was in good trusting hands and he will lead me in the right direction which is why I hired him. If you're looking for an attorney that will understand your situation and not make you feel judged this is the attorney for you.
