Kelley was very professional and knowledgeable in helping with my estate planning. She offered options and advised on what she believed would work best for me and my needs. Working with Kelley was extremely easy and comfortable. She is friendly and kind, while staying professional. She was dedicated to me and was always available to answer any questions as they arose. She is absolutely the best attorney I have had the privilege to work with. She was my best advocate and was always knowledgeable in how to proceed and get me through the processes smoothly. I will continue to use her in the future and I HIGHLY recommend her. She’s amazing.
I came to Kelley with no hope for my situation and she explained my rights in a way I could understand them and actually got what I was entitled to. I would highly recommend Kelley for her honesty, integrity and intelligence.
My path to becoming an attorney began in 2000 as a legal intern. That internship sparked a passion for the law that continued to grow into a career I love. Working my way up from legal intern, to paralegal, and now an attorney gives me an advantage in my practice that most attorneys do not have. Those roles gave me the practical, technical and procedural skills to more effectively practice law. Most attorneys do not know what it feels like to hear the frustration in a client's voice when they are told their attorney is not available. Therefore, I strive to always take a call or return an email from a client, my goal is to be of service to them when they are in need. Keeping my clients informed and letting them know I am diligently working for them is key to my practice.
When I am not working, I get to tackle new adventures and ideas my daughter comes up with, which is even more challenging at times than being an attorney.

Peace of Mind
I title this review "Peace of Mind" because this is what you get when working with Kelley. She listens, informs, and does her homework. Communication is exceptional, and we no longer worry about the details or that something has 'fallen through the cracks.' Our estate is complex, with a spouse that is a permanent alien resident, dependent children, and multiple business and property holdings. Kelley quickly grasped what needed to be done to get our estate planning in order, and what I respect most is that she doesn't hesitate to reach out to other resources within the firm to leverage specific areas of expertise among her peers.

Incredible Support, Total Empathy
Ms. Orr helped us unravel the estate of our son upon his premature death. She did so with finesse but also with a great deal of sensitivity to the situation. When dealing with recalcitrant New York financial institutions on the Estate's behalf, she showed a toughness and determination we had not expected but were delighted to witness. Her able services at a difficult time in our lives, were (ARE) very much appreciated.

Goes above and beyond
I wrote to Avvo about a somewhat complicated Probate question and Kelley responded within 3 hours. Not only did she give me a good overview on what I need to do she went out of her way to check out of state records for me. I would not hesitate to use her and will highly recommend her to my friends and acquaintances if they ever need legal service

excellent service
My husband and I hired Ms. Orr to help us deal with a denied insurance claim. We had purchased a warranty on a leather sectional and after about a year, the stitching started to unravel. We filed a claim with the warranty company but our claim was denied because, apparently, this type of stitching was not covered under the warranty. After consulting with Ms. Orr she completely took over, contacted the warranty company, and was able to get us a replacement couch valued at $5,000.00! Ms. Orr was extremely professional, efficient, and kept us informed on the status of our claim every step of the way.

5 stars all the way!
Kelley helped my husband and I with our estate planning and we couldn't be happier with our experience. Kelley is so patient and kind, as I had many questions along the way she was sure to guide me through. Estate planning can be very difficult, however Kelley made it seamless, fast and as uncomplicated as possible. I would highly recommend Kelley to anyone! Our experience was nothing short of A+! Thanks again Kelley!

excellent service
Kelley helped my husband I with our estate planning. She was thorough and professional -- but also personable and made the process less intimidating. This was something that had been on our to-do list for a long time, but we kept putting it off. I'm so glad we did it and Kelley helped make the process easy!

A Valuable Asset
Estate planning is a very uncomfortable experience. When you start thinking about estate planning you likely have children or they are on the way. It is not only stressful to get all your documents in order but the lingering thoughts of the worst-case scenario linger as you prepare.
This is where Kelley was so helpful. Not only was she professional but she efficient. She knew this wasn't a topic that we wanted to dwell on. So she came to a session with us prepared and we were able to sign off on our documents in a very short session at our kitchen table.
She didn't utilize cheap tactics to lure us into large attorney fees. She was about giving us the best service we could have asked for.
If you want a lawyer who can make your estate process painless I can assure you Kelley is the one.
