Kind Hearted

Lance really helped lift a huge weight off of my shoulders. I had been wanting a divorce for years and had lost hope of getting it done due to my situation. Not only did he offer kind words and support but he did everything he said he would. He was very transparent about the process and didn't give m...e false hope, unlike other attorney's before had done. I feel like I've been able to move on with my life after 5 long, hard years. Thank you OMG!!!!

Divorce

I used Lance for a family matter and could not be more pleased. I came to him because he is known to be one of the best, if not the best, family lawyers in Northeast Arkansas. His representation exceeded my expectations. His care and concern for those in need stood out to me. He has been willing to ...even help me at no charge after the divorce was concluded and the balance of my retainer had been refunded. I would highly recommend him to anyone that has a family law matter!

Divorce/Custody Representation

Mr. Owens is currently representing me in an extremely complicated and challenging divorce. He is not afraid to stand up against a family that thought they could use their power and job status to intimidate us. He has worked and continues to work tirelessly to do whatever it will take to protect my c...hild and give us the life we deserve. He made sure I was more than prepared at the initial hearing, has checked up on me throughout this process, and more importantly, given me peace of mind in a time I needed it most. His knowledge and tenacity are unmatched in the courtroom. I can truly tell he cares about his clients and would recommend him infinite times over for any matter needing legal representation.

Best around!

I came to see Lance for help with a divorce. He was willing to meet with me after normal business hours to accommodate my schedule and make sure I was prepared for court. Lance came highly recommended and lived up to my high expectations. He works hard, he is honest and his character is beyond repro...ach. If you have a custody matter, you are in great hands with Lance!

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!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
