All Around Great Team

I chose OMG Law Firm for my divorce which did involve children. I had a few friends & co-workers who recommended Lance & his team. I was very happy with how my consult went & chose them to represent me. Lance Owens & his team was very helpful when I didn’t understand things, communicated well, & was ...always polite. With using them, I went through a single parent adoption (ex-husband signed over all rights) & shortly was divorced afterwards. The outcome was definitely not what I intended it to be when the process started, but it’s much better this way for my children & myself. The end results are I now longer have to worry at all about my ex-husband being around & that alone makes life easier for everyone.

Adoption Case- Exceptional

We came to OMG law firm for our adoption case because we had been recommended Lance Owens (attorney) by many people. He has a lot of experience with adoption and child custody cases among many others. Lance and his staff were very hands on, efficient, and informative throughout the adoption. We got t...he outcome we had hoped for in a timely manner and are so grateful for OMG Law Firm.

Best lawyer South of the Mason Dixon

OMG Law Firm has done an outstanding job in both my divorce and single parent adoption cases. They made the process of each so easy as they guided and comforted me throughout The process of each case. I chose OMG law firm first for my divorce because of the reviews and the research I had done to find... the perfect law firm for my case. Of course, after all of the success of my divorce case I trusted them 110% to be successful in my adoption case as well. In both cases I received exactly what I wanted with no issue whatsoever. In both cases my life has forever changed for the best interest of my son Anna my son will now always be safe, know he is loved and Will never know the pain and hurt of things being more important than he is. OMG law firm gave me the most amazing gift I have ever received. Lance Owens/OMG law firm will be the only law firm and lawyer we ever use. I will forever be in their dept. Thank you OMG and Lance Owens for giving my son and I the comfort and security we deserve. I am eternally grateful!

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!

Amazing

We used Lance for a contested adoption matter and he executed a flawless plan to get it done. Lance responded to every anxious moment that we had. His concern was evident every step of the way. We were blessed to have him as our lawyer and if you use him you will be too! Thanks Lance for our forever ...family!

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.
