About Lance

Helping families and businesses for decades!

I am the managing partner of Owens Mixon Heller. P.A. and have been since January 1, 2014.  Prior to that, I was a partner with Marshall and Owens P.A. for over 21 years.  Although I spend a considerable amount of time representing banks and finance companies, I also actively practice family law and divorce, estates and elder law, and personal injury law.

 

Having adopted 4 kids, I have particular interest in helping people provide forever homes for children through adoption. In my time away from the office, I enjoy spending time with my family at the lake in Heber Springs. In addition to spending time on the lake in Heber,  I also enjoy trout fishing on the Little Red River.

      Review Lance Owens

      Absolutely the best!

      Posted by

      Lance helped so much with custody of our grandchildren! He went above and beyond by listening, explaining, preparing and supporting our daughter and us through the legal process. He truly cared what happened to the children and was so easy to talk to! Haley Smith was amazing as well. She knew precisely how to prepare our daughter and us for what court would be like. She was exact and precise and got everything we asked for. She did it all with kindness and precision.

      Highly Recommend OMG Law Firm

      Posted by

      I would highly recommend OMG Law Firm to anyone in need of a good attorney is Arkansas. Lance and his team are great to work with and most importantly they are successful. Lance personally handled our case and did an excellent job in getting the results we wanted. He was professional and was very clear on the process. He took time out of his personal schedule to help arrange a weekend meeting for us as well. OMG Law firm should be at the top of anyone list.

      Lance is a great divorce attorney. He was amazing with my case! When I asked questions he responded promptly with details on my case. He was honest with me and advised me appropriately (he did not just tell me what I wanted to hear). Definitely recommend his services.

      Having an issue that involves your children is one of the hardest things I can think a person can go through. The stress and the fear that comes with the unknown future that is approaching makes it nearly unbearable. I hope no one has to go through this and experience it, but if you have to I can think of no other person to help get you through than Lance Owens. His knowledge, his experience and his ability to be empathetic to your concerns are priceless during this tough time. From the first moment i met him during our consultation i knew my family would be in good hands. I was facing an immense legal challenge and Lance and his team was there for me every step of the way.

      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 could. 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

      Posted by

      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.
