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.

Absolutely the best!
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.

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 victorious! 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.

OMG Law Firm(Lance Owens) did a fantastic job with my divorce case. He listened and did his best to put what I felt necessary in my divorce papers. His staff did a phenomenal job at answering any questions that I had and always got back with me in exceptional time.

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 the 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!

Lance Owens
It is usually never a good time to have to need a lawyer. especially a divorce, but Lance and his staff worked with me through the whole process. Stephanie and all his staff showed nothing but respect when I would talk with them by phone or email. There were times when I did not understand the whole process and we may not have agreed on something but they still listened and did their best to rectify the concern. If I had it to do again I would be more attentive to how it all works with getting the end result. Thank you Lance, Aaron and ladies!

OMG Law Firm
Lance and his team were recommended through a friend of mine. They represented me on two different occasions; a divorce and contempt of court case. They were very professional and quick to reply to any questions. Their representation made life easier and made things go smoother. I am very happy with the timeliness and the outcome of both cases. I would highly recommend using Lance and his team for representation. You will not be disappointed!

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 services.

Excellent!!
Lance is hands down the best attorney around. He goes above and beyond when it comes to his clients. Lance has even taken the time out of his day(s) and has spoken to me and answered my questions several times, after hours. He and the staff at OMG are very helpful, responsive, genuine, and overall extremely passionate about what they do. I would recommend Lance and his law firm over anywhere else, and I will continue to use them any time I need legal help/advice.

Changed My Life
The problem I had before coming to OMG Law Firm was my ex-wife drained my bank account, tried to keep me from seeing my kids. When I tried to reconcile with her she would not see me or talk to me and had her dad meet me outside of my own home and assaulted me. I chose OMG Law Firm because after reading all the reviews they seemed like they could handle difficult cases and get me to where I could see my children. They were not at the top of the google search but the clients that did leave reviews helped me make my decision to choose them. OMG Law Firm did a lot for me in terms of my divorce case. My ex-wife was bound and determined to try to keep me from my children and would make up false allegations to DHS as well as the school where my children go to. OMG Law Firm helped me with a divorce case, fought an order of protection, pressed charges of assault against my ex-wife's dad, and battled DHS with these false acquisitions. Currently, they are helping me with a custody hearing. With OMG's help, I was able to win my case against the order of protection by leveraging the assault charges against my ex's father-in-law, I went from not seeing my children to seeing them every two weeks with overnight visitation, and I won my case against DHS. OMG has changed my life in that I have a hopeful and more positive view of seeing my children more. Lance and his team, in particular, have helped me with many hardships through this case. The one thing I recommend is to follow their advice and coaching. There were many times that the advice I got from OMG was going against my very nature because my feelings were pulling me in a different direction, but I stuck with the advice Lance gave me and followed it and it has given me a better outcome in my cases.
