I’m a Tri-Cities native, having graduated from Hanford High School.  In 2009, I graduated from the University of Washington after having to witness entirely too many losing football seasons. At the University of Washington, I majored in English and will never let you forget it. I then went on to attend the University of Illinois School of Law in Urbana-Champaign.. After earning my law degree, I decided to return to the Pacific Northwest to be closer to my family.  I immediately began my legal career at the Benton County Office of Public Defense. I have always been exclusively interested in and committed to the practice of criminal law. While at the Office of Public Defense, I spent time in District Court handling misdemeanors and gross misdemeanors for indigent clients.  After spending a year and a half with the Office of Public Defense, I was hired as an Associate at Mendoza & Johnson, where I expanded from misdemeanors to felony charges and became federally licensed in the Eastern District of Washington.. In 2015, I partnered with Scott Johnson to form the Johnson & Orr Law Firm, where we spent weeks fighting over the logo.. In private practice, I quickly realized that often what separates a good attorney is not necessarily legal prowess, but communication.  Too many attorneys are unable or simply unwilling to allow for transparency, to not only make decisions, but the reasoning behind those decisions. These are difficult choices to make; one that requires a collaborative effort with our clients. It is easy to forget that most everyone seeking legal counsel is enduring one of the most trying times of their life, but it shapes everything. I have always been passionate about my role as an advocate for my clients, and that doesn’t exist in a vacuum at the courthouse.. Outside of my private practice, I hold a position on the Benton & Franklin County Adult Drug Court.  This has provided me an opportunity to secure close ties to the treatment community, while also allowing me to work towards criminal justice reform. I will unabashedly advocate for any all reforms to our justice system and I rarely will bite my tongue about it. I like to believe that advocacy helps guide me in my individual relationships with my client. In addition to this position, I have helped coach the Richland High School Mock-Trial team for the last two years in a futile effort to appear youthful.. I pride myself on honest, clear communication that helps my clients find empowerment by understanding their options. Clients can look forward to accessible representation, vigorous preparation, and effective resolutions. Whether you have been accused of committing a misdemeanor or felony, Johnson & Orr provides skilled representation in a wide variety of criminal law matters.

If you're looking for an attorney, it means something is breaking in your life. My first job is to stop the damage and keep things from getting worse. These kinds of situations bring a tremendous amount of stress, and no one is at their best when dealing with it. I will help you avoid unnecessary conflict, and talk you through which of your worries are legitimate and which of them are just "what ifs" that you don't need to burden yourself with. There are always options in cases. I'll give you the information you need to choose among them. Whether you are dealing with a custody dispute or dividing property in a divorce, I will help you put your life back on track.. Scott Kinshella is a Washington State attorney practicing in the Tri-Cities (Kennewick, Richland, Pasco and the surrounding area). He is originally from Las Vegas, Nevada, but moved to the Pacific Northwest after law school to be close to family in Pendleton, Oregon. He has lived in Kennewick, WA, since 2012.

I was born and raised in Tri-Cities where I graduated from Kennewick High School.  I left Kennewick for the University of Idaho double majoring in Psychology and Sociology. After earning my diplomas I attended the University of Idaho College of Law, graduating in the top 1/3 of my class.  During my time in law school I interned for the Kennewick City Attorney's Office performing the duties of an Assistant City Attorney.  While interning I received several favorable jury verdicts on behalf of the City.. I spent five years after law school as an assistant city prosecutor for several of the local jurisdictions around Tri-Cities.  Now, in 2021 I have taken all that knowledge gained to serve my clients in criminal defense proceedings, as well as personal injury cases.  If you have old criminal convictions that are holding you back in life, a recent change in our state law may make you eligible to have those removed from your record.  If you are facing a criminal charge, have been injured in accident, or are looking to put your past behind you, please call for a consult today.

I love what I do. I honor my position in our legal system and the opportunity to advocate for people. Often times I see people at their worst. Helping them while they are down and getting results they appreciate is why I love what I do. I look forward to the challenges presented in every case.

I have 25 years of experience in the area of criminal and immigration law.  I was a criminal prosecutor for 16 years prior to becoming a criminal defense attorney.  I also hold a part time postition as the Director of Public Defense for the City of Pasco.

I became an attorney because I wanted to provide a better life for my family and help my community at the same time.
