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.

hands down best attorney around! Lance worked long and hard with me during my custody case. He is always very patient, kind and understanding. I highly recommend Lance if you are looking for a great attorney that will fight hard and treat you like family. I will forever be grateful for the work Lance has done for me.
