I would definitely recommend OMG to any one!

OMG is the best decision I made by far with our case Lance was amazing from the get go totally making me feel at ease & confident from the start he explained everything in ways that were easy for me to understand & I felt as if he was emotionally there with me & I would give them 10 stars If I c...ould. Haley not Only did What she said she would do she went above and beyond to do everything she could for our family she also made us feel like family she cared about us not only his clients but his people as well it was a true blessing that we got to have Haley in our lives & Ms Hannah definitely was on the ball she kept me well informed of what was going on & made sure she was available for any questions I had! Over all the best experience I could have ever asked for in such a difficult time for us

Thank You Lance Owens

One of the scariest events in my life has been the filing of a custody case which removed my grandson from my home against his wishes. It was devastating to our family. Permanent change of custody was at stake in this case. The case was complicated and the chance of losing custody appeared very real.... Choosing an attorney can be an overwhelming task and your choice makes the difference whether your child remains in your home or another family obtains custody. Stakes cannot be higher. The most critical decision we made was hiring Lance Owens as our attorney. On very short notice, Lance went to work and gathered all information and documents to prepare our case. He worked tirelessly in our behalf. Lance fought for us in court and there was no doubt who the best attorney in the court room was. Under extremely difficult circumstances Lance won the custody case and my grandson is where he belongs, in our home. Highly recommend Lance. Thank goodness we found him.

Stop searching and look no further!

If you're reading this, it's probably because you've found yourself in need of legal services and you're trying to decide where your hard earned money is best spent! Look no further! I don't normally fill out reviews, but I wanted to help ease anyone's mind who may be undecided. Lance is not just a ..."typical" attorney. He will dedicate himself to whatever is necessary to get the job done, even if that means meeting after his normal business hours or on weekends. He will strategically position you to win your case. He has the experience and knowledge paired with determination and compassion. There are "attorneys" and then there is Lance! I sought services for an extrememly complicated divorce/custody battle and we won! You won't be disappointed! The reviews speak for themselves. Best of Luck!

Great guidance thru custody issue

My family hired Lance Owens for a custody dispute between myself and my son's father. There were some difficult issues to be addressed but Lance did a tremendous job with preparing us before the court date and bringing forth the strongest argument possible. He fought for us and what was in the best i...nterest of my son. We ended up winning and retaining custody and I couldn't be more thrilled. I don't think the outcome would have been the same without the representation by Lance i am thankful and grateful that or family was kept together and the best outcome for my son came to fruition.

Best attorney in Jonesboro!

Lance helped me through a difficult divorce. He is very compassionate and helped me get through some difficult times. He assured me he was there to guild me every step of the way and now 2 years later he's guiding me some more. He helped me not to back down when I wanted to give up. Highly, HIGHLY re...commend Lance Owens!
