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!

The BEST!!!!!!!!!!

I would like to thank you Steve for everything you've done for me. You've exceeded all my expectations as a great person and a lawyer. You're a very trustworthy, responsive, knowledgeable, and informative lawyer, but most importantly you were very genuine and sincere. For anyone reading this review I... can promise Steve Orr will do his best for you, like he did for me. I was more than pleased with the outcome and his dedication. He goes the extra mile and such a professional office tylia is awesome she returns phone calls and is very helpful. I was facing 20 years federal and he told me the whole time to trust him and I put my whole life in his hands and I got 48 months. WOW. This man works wonders. Again I want to thank you steve for helping me through the scariest time of my life. You are the best in town.

The best !!!!!!

Oh my I don't know where to start I was facing 20 years in prison and steve told me the whole way thru trust me believe in me and I had heard how good he was so I did. I put my life in steve orr hands and did what he said to do and I am very pleased with the way he treated my case not to say he was v...ery kind and caring I could tell he has a heart and that's a plus. He did a awesome job and I only got 48 months I believe in my heart that I almost would of gotten probation but with my past criminal history it didn't help me. All I can say is if your fighting for your life and need a good federal attorney hire this man and his office is so professional tylia is wonderful and always returned calls and treats you like family. Stephen orr works wonders
