A formidable force in your corner.

Rhidian was always, professional, responsive, and extremely knowledgeable the whole time that he worked with me. My case was a DUI case, and he was able to get my charges completely dismissed before we even went to trial. He worked extremely hard to make the process as quick and painless as was pos...sible, and I'm extremely thankful to him for that. If you want a lawyer who will do everything within his power to make sure that you get a fair deal and that your personal rights are upheld, then I would highly recommend you give Rhidian a long, hard look.

great attorney

I have been a client of Mr. Orr for a year, and still remain one at this time. I have found him to be excellent in all areas of the law in which he claims expertise. Additionally, he typically exceeds expectations in client service, frequently performing tasks that would require considerable expendit...ures of time and money by me, the client, but by doing them himself, saving me those resources, and making life a little easier as well.

Posted by Kirk | April 22, 2010 | DUI & DWI

Most satisfied & grateful for Mr.Orr and the entire Orr Law Firm staff.

“I write this with the upmost sincerity, gratitude and respect and hope you can use it as my personal "thank you" as well as a business referral/client comment that may benefit future clients. I am an intelligent, responsible, dependable and caring individual that made a first and last time huge ...& costly mistake by getting a DUI. I was unfortunately (after 22 years of service with a large corporation) part of a lay-off. Not handling this well, I drove a short distance and was stopped with a high BAC and consequences. Knowing the seriousness, but certainly not all the ramifications and procedures, I knew I needed help and turned to seeking an attorney. Since the first phone call and meeting with The Orr Law Firm staff, they were most caring, kind, sincere and professional and helped me throughout the entire confusing process. I felt they treated me and my case truly as a 'person', not as another statistic and cannot emphasize how comfortable and confident they made me feel in dealing with a most frightening and upsetting experience. They secured a tremendously good outcome for me given the facts of my particular case and I am so grateful and thankful. I simply believe this firm and this staff is second to none and they know the laws above and beyond other attorneys and they certainly proved it. Their website is extremely well put together and provides an incredible amount of helpful, useful and factual information that within itself shows the professionalism and knowledge this firm has. I sincerely thank you; I am grateful and have the upmost respect for you all."

Excellent Attorney

Rhidian Orr is a fantastic attorney. He kept me informed of my legal rights and gave me advise as needed throughout the court process. His fees are very reasonable and he is always available to speak with in a timely fasion. His legal knowledge is excellent. He explains the legal process and options ...extremely well. He has been able to handle two complicated DUI cases and several speeding tickets for the younger drivers of my family and friends. I would highly recommend him for your legal needs.

When you absolutely positively MUST have the BEST.

Unfortunately, I have a collection of DUIs, despite being an educated professional - but that DOES make me knowledgeable when it comes to DUI attorneys. I can only wish I had met Rhidian for my first DUI, the individual I retianed, though highly reputable, demonstrated a fraction of the ability ...that Mr. Orr did. I later retained Mt Orr for DUI, DUR, Interlock issues, andother misceallaneous follies resulting from carelessness. Simply put, he is the best there is. I refer him constantly to similarly unfortunate souls in the nightlife industry, and describe him as my "Miracle worker". His knowledge, skill, dilligence, communication skills, are unparalelled. Most importantly, he truly does care about the welfare of his clients. Feedback from all the referrals I have sent is consistent with mine, whcih should speak for itself. When you absolutley MUST have the best....there is no alternative, you need Rhidian Orr.

Rhidian is a rare breed in that he is both a fighter, yet is a compassionate human-being who takes the time to listen to his clients and their concerns. I would whole-heartedly entrust my closest friends and loved ones to his care and expertise if they were charged with a crime in Colorado.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
