About Lance

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!

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.

Changed My Life

5.0 stars

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.

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 state. 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.

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.
