"I could not be more satified with hiring Mr. Orent for defense on a protection order case. He walked me through what to expect along the way. He was knowledgeable and answered all my questions. He provided sound advice that I felt was always in my best interest. He tactful, stratigic and well spoken. A hearing is an intimitating event. It was refreshing to have a lawyer that was empathetic and able to put my nerves at easy going into the hearing. He was noticably more knowledgeable and well spoken about the law that the other parties lawyer during my hearing. Ultimateily, the protection order was dismissed."
