Great Attorney for Family Matters

Orson is a fantastic attorney who is very family law savvy. He's level-headed when emotions run high and thoroughly knows how the courts work in domestic matters (which is rarely by the books). I had a high-conflict divorce/custody matter and Orson helped fix part of the mess my first inexperienced ...attorney created. I can't recommend Orson enough.

  • 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.
