The Man The Myth The Legend

The Man The Myth The legend. I have heard about Steve Orr for years. I got in trouble with the federal government and Mr Orr was the one I knew I wanted on my team. I had an attorney already and he was telling me I’m looking at 10 yrs So we added Mr Orr to the team and he went to work. Started doi...ng what he does. He knows everyone in the federal courthouse and they respect him. If you believe in him and trust the process you are in great hands with Mr Orr. He got me from serving 10 yrs to serving 2.5 yrs Just with going through the discovery and finding errors on the governments part. He has a passion for being the best at what he does, and I felt like he really cared about me. He truly is the man the myth the legend. Thank you Mr Orr I have the most respect for you sir

Possible 25 years to LIFE! with Mr. Orr 1 year probation

A disgruntled employee wanted to me to go away for a long time and attempted to set me up! I was facing federal felony charges of possession with intent to distribute and illegal possession of firearms by a felon. Mr. Orr got the firearms charge dismissed (because I am not a felon) and the possessi...on with intent to distribute whittled down to a minor possession charge, one year probation, which I served successfully! I was told by everyone I would NEVER win against the Federal government- none of those people ever met Mr. Stephen Orr.

Steve is the MAN!!

When you think about the best possible legal representation, you want someone with experience, someone who not only knows the law but also understands the cultural nuances of the city and county where your case will be disposed. You want the guy everybody loves at the courthouse. You want they guy wh...o shoots you straight and doesn't fluff things. Furthermore, you need unbiased, cool headed information, and Steve gives you that. If you're reading this profile because you're facing serious, felony charges, you can stop reading. Pick up the phone and call Orr and Olavson. Here are a few tips for working with steve. 1. Shut up and listen, don't talk. 2. Any further questions, see #1 Steve is not going to be your therapist, he's not there to make things happy and bright. "I can't make any more sunshine" However, he does care, you can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice. Steve wants you to have the best possible outcome. I have worked with him for 3 years on a felony case, facing 20 years. He kicked the DA's ass, poked holes through the entire case and dang near got it dismissed. We took a plea to avoid the risk of a trial. I am on misdemeanor probation and I am forever grateful to Steve. The state of Texas took my life and put it on a string in front of me. Steve Orr cut the string, gave me life back and fought for me until the very end. Have a good time at the happy house, everyone!

First degree felony

Stephen did an awesome job on my case. I was charged with two 1st degree felonies. One was dismissed and the other I got deferred. He bonded me out of jail with in three months, and closed my case a year and seven months later. I dont know what I and my family would have done without steve!!
