My name is Nichole, and I am the principal of Orr Legal.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT LAWYER
Choosing a lawyer can feel overwhelming, particularly if you have been charged with a criminal offence, contacted by police, served with court documents, or told you need to attend court.
At Orr Legal, you deal directly with me. I want you to know who you are speaking to when you call, what kind of service you can expect, and why Orr Legal may be the right firm to assist you.

MY Background
Before becoming a solicitor, I was a schoolteacher. I taught in schools across Newcastle and the Hunter Valley before moving into law and eventually establishing Orr Legal.
I made the decision to go into private practice because I wanted to practise law in a way that was direct, practical and client-focused.
Orr Legal is not your normal law firm. You will not be passed from person to person. You will not be left wondering who is handling your matter. When you engage Orr Legal, you have direct access to the lawyer responsible for your case.
Why Orr Legal
There are many capable lawyers in Newcastle, Maitland and the Hunter. What makes Orr Legal different is the way we work with our clients.
I am local. I have raised my family in this community. I understand the courts, the people, the pressures and the reality of being involved in the criminal justice system.
When someone needs a criminal lawyer, they are often under significant stress. They may be worried about their future, their job, their family, their licence, their reputation or their liberty. My role is to give you clear advice, explain your options, and represent you with preparation, strategy and care.
Direct Access When It Matters
When police contact you, when you are charged, or when something has happened and you do not know what to do next, you need practical advice quickly.
At Orr Legal, you can contact me directly. The mobile number on this website is my mobile number. That means you are not simply calling a reception desk or being passed through a system. You are making direct contact with the lawyer who may be able to assist you.
You do not need to face the situation alone. A conversation with a lawyer can help you understand what is happening, what your options are, and what steps you should take next.
