Since earning his Juris Doctor from the University of Toledo College of Law in 2014, Attorney Christopher Orr has dedicated his practice to estate planning, probate, trusts, and elder law, serving the needs of Ohio families. He has built a reputation for delivering comprehensive estate plans, retirement and asset protection strategies, and trusted representation in estate and trust administrations.
Christopher Orr is the founder and managing partner of the Law Offices of Christopher R. Orr LLC, a firm built on the belief that estate planning is for everyone and that informed clients make the best decisions for themselves and their families. He is licensed to practice law in Ohio and admitted to practice before the U.S. District Courts for both the Northern and Southern Districts of Ohio.
Recognized as one of Ohio’s leading attorneys for trusts and estate, Attorney Orr has received the Super Lawyers “Rising Star” award every year since 2020. His legal analysis of Ohio’s “Doctrine of Necessities” for the Sixth District Court of Appeals remains the authoritative interpretation of that law. He has also worked with the Ohio State Bar Association to educate attorneys and legal professionals on estate planning strategies involving cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
A proud U.S. Army veteran, Attorney Orr served in both the Military Intelligence and Military Police branches. Outside the office, he is an avid long-distance runner, having completed multiple 50-mile and 24-hour races and coached others through Marathoner-in-Training programs. He lives in Newark, Ohio with his wife, two children, a grumpy cat, and an over-enthusiastic chocolate lab.
