Great work by Lance and his staff

I needed a legal detailed agreement document created by an attorney. I chose Lance and his staff honestly because of looking up attorney reviews online and read nothing but good things. I was helped quickly to get started and all my questions and concerns were addressed in a timely fashion. As thin...gs were moving along, I needed to make changes and, they were quick to help me out. Every time I came into their office Lance would come out of his office to greet me. Lance, Stephani, and McKenna (also the front desk) were very easy to work with and I highly recommend them. My legal documents were completed and I will use them again if the need arises. (3) What did we do for you? (4). As a result of the work our firm did, what was the outcome? (5). How has the outcome changed your life?

Hire Lance Now

I found Lance through reviews online and decided to make a consultation. That one decision has been one of the most critical and best decisions of my life. I was facing an abusive, narcissistic, pathological lying ex with psychopathic tendencies. I had been living in fear, fear for my newborn, and fe...ar of having joint custody. Lance was very upfront with me about what I was up against and the burden of proof that was necessary. He was also the first person that gave me advice that made sense. I decided to hire him. Lance and his team worked tirelessly for two years, through four different hearings, with the last one lasting four days. They spent countless hours digging through evidence, reading through thousands of documents, making imperative decisions, and building a case for my little girl. Not only did they work endlessly and relentlessly, but they also became family to me and my family. They supported me through the entire grueling process that seemed to never end. They stayed with me through all the ups, downs, and crazy twists and turns. They calmed my nerves, guided me, and helped build me up again. They spent days prepping me for court, practicing with me and other witnesses, gathering exhibits together, focusing on what made the case and weeding out what wasn’t necessary. I truly cannot tell you enough about all the work they put into my case or how hard they fought for my daughter. After two years of long, never ceasing work and four very long days of final hearings, the fight was finally over. The judge ruled that I had full custody of my daughter. My ex only received scheduled supervised visitations by a paid deputy. He was ordered to pay my legal fees, return my belongings, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail if all orders were not completed. He did not receive any of my retirement, house, car, nothing financially. In other words, we received everything we had asked for and more. I know this would not have happened without Lance and his team. My daughter and I would be in a very different terrifying situation, but because of Lance and all his hard work, I can finally rest and know my daughter is safe. There is no price tag on that. No one wants to go through a divorce, especially not one where you are desperately trying to protect your child, however, if you do find yourself in this situation, I cannot express enough that you need to hire Lance. It is the best thing you can do for the biggest fight of your life. Court is hard, divorce is hard, battling for your children is hard, but Lance makes it bearable and will fight for your children as if they are his own. He and his team have forever changed our lives. They have given us a promising future and peace that seemed to never come. I will not ever be able to thank them enough, there are not words. All of that to say, hire Lance. You will not regret it.

I trust him with the most important thing in my life- my CHILD.

I have known Lance nearly 20 years in a personal capacity, but our paths never crossed professionally until recently. When I found myself in a situation that seemed impossible (custody case), I knew exactly who to call- Lance Owens. I knew he was a man of great integrity and I was confident he would ...listen with intent and deliver on his word. Until hiring Lance, I’d never seen him in his professional element; he is incredible. Flawless in delivery, overly prepared, maticulous with details, and fully invested in your case. I trust him with the most valuable, important part of my life- my child. 12/10 recommend Lance and his team. I am so grateful they are in my corner.

Absolutely the best law firm

Faced with a divorce I didn't want but no choice in the matter I had to find a lawyer to represent me. This being totally new territory for me I was at a complete loss and with the help of a friend just looked at reviews and prayed... A lot. OMG had the best reviews and after being a client of thei...rs for almost 3 years they deserve every 5 star review they have. Needless to say the divorce was drawn out but to absolutely no fault of Lance Owens or his team. Lance, Stephanie, and MaKenna were prepared for everything and made sure I was prepared for everything before any deadline, I had absolutely no surprises throughout the entire process except the surprise of how great they were. I was nervous going into a couple of meetings but always left feeling better than when I walked into their office. I know Lance, Stephanie and MaKenna put in a ton of hours prepping for court and the final ruling outcome was as good as I could have hoped for. Everything about OMG is top notch, everyone I met was absolutely great to work with. To top it off I suffered a great personal loss during the divorce and the personal calls and more that they did went far above and beyond the lawyer/client relationship. To me that meant so much. I knew I wasn't a number, a job or a check. The care show was amazing. If I ever have any legal needs I will definitely call OMG first.
