Excellent Divorce and Custody Lawyer

I had the pleasure of working with Lance Owens twice now as my Divorce and Custody attorney. He recently represented my little family in court exceptionally well in a very high stakes custody battle. Thanks to his expert legal knowledge and commitment to my case, we had a great outcome and were victo...rious! Most importantly he showed such care and compassion while representing my family. Because of Lance Owens, my children are still with me. I cannot recommend him highly enough to anyone dealing with a high stakes custody case or divorce. You can rest assured you have made the right choice to represent you in court.

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.

Job well done!!!

Lance has assisted me on a couple of child custody matters. Lance has done awesome at everything. Lance is very knowledgeable and can answer all you're questions and even guide's you in making the right decisions if you are not sure. His staff takes care of you from the moment you walk in the door an...d makes you very comfortable. I will never use anyone else when it comes to custody or family law.

Very helpful

I called for advice on a family law matter. Though Mr Owens is not in the region that my case was filed in, he made sure all my questions were answered so I understood my options and typical procedings. I appreciate the time he afforded me knowing he was not likely to accept my case (5 hour drive to ...the courthouse). I would recommend Mr Owens to be the first call of anyone needing representation in the Jonesboro, AR area. Thank you so much, Lance!

Definitely recommend!!

Lance Owens at OMG law firm has been my attorney for 4 years trough 4 cases involving the custody of my grandkids. Each time we are in court I am more impressed with his skill. The last time was amazing. During his opening statement he used his knowledge of the laws and procedures to lead the opposin...g counsel into a trap with the skill of a chess master making them think all the while it was their idea. Then during cross examination with the aggression of a Pit Bull he destroyed their witnesses exposing their lies and establishing the facts that he had planed to with our witnesses so much so that he did not even have to call ours. The victory was total he got every thing we ask for and they got nothing. Even the other attorney's in the room were impressed. The best thing I ever did for my grandkids was to retain OMG and Lance Owens. Mister Owens is an excellent lawyer with a fantastic staff that truly care about their clients. Judge's respect him, attorney's fear him, and clients love him. The best reason to retain OMG and Lance Owens is because you do not want your adversary to. You do not want to be cross examined by Lance Owens
