Orr offers domestic law representation with a comprehensive approach to addressing the domestic issues facing clients in Johnson County, Wyandotte County, and throughout Kansas.

Clients also need a family law attorney skilled in trial work and appeals, and who offers knowledgeable advice on such matters as the best ways to use expert witnesses to evaluate assets or address other key issues.
