Andy Patrick

Senior Attorney

With over 15 years practicing in Northeast Washington, Andy brings a level of courtroom experience that's hard to match. He's tried more cases in Stevens County than most lawyers will see in a lifetime.

What sets Andy apart isn't just his win record—it's his approach. He doesn't see cases, he sees people. Families. Neighbors. He fights with the same intensity whether it's a misdemeanor or a serious felony, because he understands that every case matters to someone's life.

"In this county, reputation matters. I've spent years building trust with judges, prosecutors, and most importantly—with the people who live here."

Travis Phelps

Senior Attorney

Travis joined Orin Law to build our personal injury practice from the ground up. After seeing too many neighbors struggle with insurance companies after accidents, he knew Colville needed a fierce local advocate.

His approach is methodical and relentless. While you focus on recovery, Travis handles the paperwork, the negotiations, and if necessary, the courtroom battle. He's recovered millions for clients, but measures success by how quickly people can get back to their lives.

"Insurance companies bank on you getting tired of fighting. I never get tired. That's my job—to fight until you get what's fair."

Terrah Hatch - Paralegal
The Engine of the Firm

Terrah Hatch

Paralegal & Operations Manager
(AKA: The One Who Makes It All Work)

If you've called our office, you've probably talked to Terrah. If you've had a question answered quickly, that was Terrah. If our attorneys show up to court perfectly prepared—you guessed it, Terrah.

Calling Terrah a "paralegal" is like calling a Swiss Army knife "a blade." She's the organizational genius who keeps two busy attorneys, dozens of active cases, and countless moving parts running smoothly. But more importantly, she's often the first friendly voice clients hear when they're at their most vulnerable.

She doesn't just manage cases—she manages people. With patience, humor, and a remarkable ability to explain complex legal processes in plain English.

When Andy and Travis are in court fighting for you, Terrah is back at 298 South Main making sure everything else is handled. Filing deadlines met. Documents organized. Phone calls returned. She's the backbone of this operation, and we wouldn't be the firm we are without her.

"My job is to make sure that when you call Orin Law, you feel heard, not handed off. We're a small firm by choice—it means we actually know our clients."

Why Terrah is Rad:

Knows every client by name (and usually their dog's name too)
Can find any document in 30 seconds flat
Answers emails at all hours (but we tell her not to)
Makes the best coffee in Colville (seriously)
