A great man that truly cares for his clients

After the lose of my child and my home catching fire my mother inlaw decided to try and take my kids. The past two months has been very hard on me and my family and then we had this to deal with while doing my finales for school. Lance Owens the most amazing man and lawyer accept me and my pain the m...oment i walked in his office. while gathering everything for court his whole office treated my children and myself as family. i won my case and even after winning my case he didnt stop there he checked on me and the kids daily making sure we was ok. This case was a very emotional case that effected everyone even this law firm. OMG law firm is apart of my family now and if it wasnt for them i would have lost the very last piece of my world. Lance owens saved my family

Lost and found...

Lance handled my adopted daughters case 18 years ago. There had been some complications in the beginning with the adoption and Lance represented the birth mother. He fought for her to make sure her wishes were met and as a result, we were able to recieve a beautiful little girl that has lightened our... lives these past 18 years. Now, my daughter has been interested in finding her birth family and Lance was so gracious in facilitating that event. With his kindness and help, my daughter has found that which was missing. From the bottom of our hearts, thank You!

Hire Lance if you want some custody!

I came to see Lance on a paternity matter. Lance gave me great advice from day one. He helped me stick up for myself and make tough decisions. He met with me at night and on weekends to prepare. He dominated two contested hearings. On the final day of trial, he was tenacious. He helped me get sole cu...stody, which was the most important thing to me. If you want sole custody, you should hire Lance Owens. He is a relentless advocate and talented in court. You will be glad you did!

Fierce

We hired Lance after our grandchildren were ripped away from my daughter. Lance and his staff were amazing from start to finish. Because I was a potential witness, I did not get to see first hand his actions in court. However, my daughter and sons did…he was absolutely amazing. He came highly recomm...ended and was better than advertised. We left court as a re-united family thanks to Lance. May God continue to bless you for helping our family”

Fantastic Attorney

I am so grateful to Lance Owens for all of his hard work and dedication on our family law matter. He went above and beyond for us, meeting us on weekends, working into the night on our case to make sure everything was prepared, he gave us excellent advice on things to have prepared for court. In cou...rt he is even better. You definitely want him on your side in the court room, he missed no details in his cross examination and was truly incredible. His staff , Phyllis and Tami, and also his wife Lisa worked tirelessly to make sure we were updated and to get anything else we needed. They were always quick to respond and they are just an exceptional group of people to work together with. Thank you all so much!!!

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
