The Best!

CliffsNotes Review: Hire this firm if you can! Where does one even begin when trying to give thanks to a team that has helped during such an emotional, stressful, and difficult time? The lawyers and staff at The Law Offices of Lance Fryrear have been such a blessing. After the police were called a...nd an arrest was made, it felt like my life was over. I felt so powerless during those initial days where the court process and legal battles seemed beyond hope. I am not sure how I would have made (and continue to be making it) through this legal process without Lance and his team. Everytime I called with a worry or concern, Rachel and Shannon would answer the phone, listen attentively and provide encouragement. They never made me feel like a burden or annoyance (even when I felt I was because of all the anxiety). Lance and Colleen worked to support me through a Civil PO that was filed in addition to my pre-charge criminal defense needs. Colleen went above and beyond, helping me reach out for my personal items, providing comfort and support, and always making me feel like a priority. Lance not only brought so much legal knowledge and experience (check out his Youtube), but his ability to understand the process and speak to the emotional side really was a game changer. Before agreeing to help with the Civil PO, he listened attentively to the situation. Lance and his team agreed to help me with the criminal defense matter, but only wanted to commit to helping with the Civil PO, if there was something they could actually do in my situation to help. His firm is not interested in saying “yes” to everything to get a paycheck. They actually care about YOU and YOUR SPECIFIC case. He felt based on my circumstances, that although filing a written response might not be wise in my case, there could be other avenues to explore, and thus agreed to help with that legal matter. If you work with Lance and his team, it is worth every penny. Make sure to listen to his advice! You, like me, will likely have to fight the urge to want things resolved yesterday. Fight the urge to want to act out of frustration from not having your side heard by the justice system. Fight the urge to think that your ideas and timing are right and that slow justice is not justice. Time is your friend in many of these cases. I worked to trust Lance and his team with this, groaning in my mind about the long lengths between court dates, but in the end he and his team were right. Time can change people and circumstances. The Civil PO was dismissed! For my pre-charge criminal defense, my lawyer Elisabeth also worked tirelessly to support me by answering questions, reviewing documents, and helping me with ancillary issues related to my case. She always made time for me and I felt heard and cared for by her. This is a quality not all law firms have, but it ended up being so important to me, so do not overlook it if it is important to you. It is so valuable to work with lawyers and staff who are empathetic and patient since a lot of the struggle is trusting that your team really cares about you and your case. If you want a law team that will not only work to get you successful legal outcomes to your case, but also will help you make sense of things and respond to your emotions with care, I can not recommend the lawyers and staff at The LawOffice of Lance Fryrear enough. I have had such amazing results, and have felt as supported as possible throughout this process, which would not have been possible without my legal team. Thank you Lance, Elisabeth, Colleen, Rachel, Shannon, and the other amazing lawyers and staff who work to give people accused of crimes a second chance at life. Your work and effort really does make a difference!

Great Experience!

I was faced with allegations of domestic violence. I consulted Lance Fryrear's law office and got very timely & appropriate legal advice. My case was handled by Julia ( under the guidance of Lance ). I can not thank them enough, they brought my criminal charges to ONLY DVMRT classes and the case wa...s dismissed. They are very knowledgeable, respectful, and walked me out through the whole process. Highly recommended !!

Amazing team!

These guys are indeed professionals. Want to point out Angelina Petrosyan who lead my criminal court case. If this team is presenting you in court be sure that you are 100% protected. Definitely going to recommend my friends and aquaintances.

The Attorneys attorney

Lance and his team exhibited unwavering professionalism. Anything we could think of to help the case, they had already thought of. The preparation that went into the hearing was nothing short of spectacular. When it came time for court, Lance laid it out and nailed it. I was so pleased with the work ...that went into the preparation for the case that even if we had not won, I knew the effort was there. Good attorneys with a fire inside are hard to come by. When it was go time, Lance brought it!! I could not Highly recommend any attorney more than I recommend Lance and his team Thank you Lance for being our advocate.

Professional & Helpful

Lance and his team of attorneys were top notch in helping my aged step-father navigate a DV charge and protection order cases. Their services were comprehensive and detailed. Communication with the office was effortless and messages were always returned promptly. Their competent and thorough treatmen...t of each case resulted in a win! Would highly recommend their services.
