About Lance
Biography
When I was a teenager my family moved from the midwest to Southern California. To say the least, it was a culture shock: There was no snow, everybody had an electric garage door opener, and there were cars I only saw in movies.
After graduating college I decided to move somewhere I'd never been, where I didn't know a soul, and have a new adventure.
I thought, why not law school-- it'll be a challenge and I like challenges. So, I packed up and moved to Sacramento to attend Mc George School of Law-- At the time I had no idea Sacramento was to be my home for now over thirty (30) years.
Since moving to Sacramento I passed the bar, bought a house, hosted a popular weekend radio talk show, served as a Judge Pro Tem, made a lot of friends and good memories, and a lot more.
I feel what sets me apart from other lawyers is not only that I'm local, established, and have over twenty five (25) years experience but the honest, direct, and accurate guidance I give my clients, and the high level of personal attention I give each. For example, my clients get my cell number so they can call or text me directly, even after normal business hours.
Please take a moment to read my reviews. I’m easy to talk with, straight forward, and you’ll feel better knowing I’ll be on your side.

Very Effective and Friendly
Lance is the best. I first hired him on 2008 for a DUI case. It was a tough case but he was able to reduce it to a Wet Reckless charge with the minimum fines. Now 8 years later I hired him again to help me expunge the conviction off my record. He took care of everything and I didn't have to do ab...
