Hire Lance Now

I found Lance through reviews online and decided to make a consultation. That one decision has been one of the most critical and best decisions of my life. I was facing an abusive, narcissistic, pathological lying ex with psychopathic tendencies. I had been living in fear, fear for my newborn, and fe...ar of having joint custody. Lance was very upfront with me about what I was up against and the burden of proof that was necessary. He was also the first person that gave me advice that made sense. I decided to hire him. Lance and his team worked tirelessly for two years, through four different hearings, with the last one lasting four days. They spent countless hours digging through evidence, reading through thousands of documents, making imperative decisions, and building a case for my little girl. Not only did they work endlessly and relentlessly, but they also became family to me and my family. They supported me through the entire grueling process that seemed to never end. They stayed with me through all the ups, downs, and crazy twists and turns. They calmed my nerves, guided me, and helped build me up again. They spent days prepping me for court, practicing with me and other witnesses, gathering exhibits together, focusing on what made the case and weeding out what wasn’t necessary. I truly cannot tell you enough about all the work they put into my case or how hard they fought for my daughter. After two years of long, never ceasing work and four very long days of final hearings, the fight was finally over. The judge ruled that I had full custody of my daughter. My ex only received scheduled supervised visitations by a paid deputy. He was ordered to pay my legal fees, return my belongings, and was sentenced to 30 days in jail if all orders were not completed. He did not receive any of my retirement, house, car, nothing financially. In other words, we received everything we had asked for and more. I know this would not have happened without Lance and his team. My daughter and I would be in a very different terrifying situation, but because of Lance and all his hard work, I can finally rest and know my daughter is safe. There is no price tag on that. No one wants to go through a divorce, especially not one where you are desperately trying to protect your child, however, if you do find yourself in this situation, I cannot express enough that you need to hire Lance. It is the best thing you can do for the biggest fight of your life. Court is hard, divorce is hard, battling for your children is hard, but Lance makes it bearable and will fight for your children as if they are his own. He and his team have forever changed our lives. They have given us a promising future and peace that seemed to never come. I will not ever be able to thank them enough, there are not words. All of that to say, hire Lance. You will not regret it.

Personable and Motivating

My experience with Lance was far better than I could have ever asked for. He was very personable and went above and beyond what I expected to help with my divorce. Both himself and his staff were always quick to respond and answer any questions I had during the process. I highly recommend his service...s.

Mrs.

From the first phone call to the last text, everyone was helpful, and very thorough. Those working on my sisters Estate were very nice and helpful. They kept me informed as to what was going on with the courts, etc. I would recommend them to anyone needing a great Attorney.

Exceptional & Dependable

As a military father I am always moving and traveling due to the Army’s demands. Due to this my visitation rights were becoming non existent. I started doing research on trying to find someone within Arkansas that seemed truly capable of handling my situation especially with me living in Washington s...tate. While searching I realized that for some reason this outstanding law firm was hidden lower on the list while it has the highest average review rating and with the most left reviews in the entire state! After reading through over 100 consistent and positive reviews my mind was easily made up on who I had to have assist me with my situation. From the very first interaction and up to the very final you feel welcomed, wanted, and important. Mr. Owens and Mrs. Winemiller are very direct, honest, and understanding. Those three qualities alone made what was a stressful mess turn into an understandable and easily guided path to an all around better future for me and my family. Within a very reasonable and surprising time frame Mr. Owens and Mrs. Winemiller not only were able to help me get visitation for my child, but a final outcome of 50/50 custody of my child! Due to there diligence the experience was an educating one for me as well. They consistently kept me updated, informed, and comfortable with the entire case. Mr. Owens and his entire team all work together effortlessly together and seem truly capable to handle any and all legal needs. Thanks to Mr. Owens and Mrs. Winemiller I am a father getting to finally make up for lost time with my child and consistently make memories that every parent in my prior situation hopes and prays for. If I ever need any other legal help or guidance there will be zero hesitation on returning to this team. If your looking for help that is and stays genuine, consistent, and meaningful then don’t hesitate to give this team a chance. They will not let you down! Thank you Mr. Owens and Mrs. Winemiller for everything.
