Excellent Representation

Lance was great to work with. We needed representation to get custody of 3 kids. We were able to get emergency custody and 1 year later, permanent custody.

Best of the Best!

Lance Owens is definitely #1 in my book! I was desperate when my ex-husband filed an Emergency Ex Parte Order with the court. My 3 children were ripped away from me in a vengeful attempt to keep them away from their mother, just for spite. My children and I were devastated. Lance took my case w...ithout hesitation. The Attorney Ad Litem assigned to my case was done at the request of my ex husbands attorney. The Ad litem and his attorney are good friends, so this was nothing more than friends helping friends. Every effort was made on their part to keep my children from seeing me. Lance knew he had his work cut out for him and made every effort to fight for me and my children. After 6 long months, and the children's Counselor on our side, my ex finally decided to drop everything and give my children back to me. I am so thankful that Lance was on my side. He brought me a sense of peace when I could see none. Lance is definitely a Godsend!! Thank you, Lance! I can never repay you for helping bring my children back home!

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.

One of the best lawyers in the Jonesboro area!

Lance Owens at OMG Lawfirm worked tirelessly on my case and was dominant in court. His preparation is relentless and he destroyed my wife on cross examination. As a result of his efforts, I have equal time with my child. I had Lance take over for another lawyer and there was no comparison. I would re...commend that you hire Lance if you have a custody matter that the other side won't give you a fair deal on!

Lance Owens

If you’re looking for a lawyer who’s going to fight for YOU, and do all he can to ensure he you get the most just and fair outcome then Mr. Owens is the right gentlemen for the job. I lived 8 hours away from Mr. Owens office, and he took my calls even after hours to help build our case. Met with me t...he day before the case and spent near all day with me preparing me and getting ready for the child custody battle we were about to embark on. But Mr. Owens does JUST as well in the court room as he does outside. He did an OUTSTANDING job during court and even with a lot of awful things that I was being accused of, he managed to get the truth to show and put claims and accusations of who I was to rest. He’s smart, clever, and a darn good attorney and if I could rate him more I would. I have already decided that any legal matters in the future regarding my child, if any, then I will again chose Mr. Owens. I am forever greatful for how hard he worked on my case. He got me everything I asked for and plus more in regards to my child’s case, and I couldn’t be happier with the service and outcome.

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.
