Report
Do not hire this attorney Lane Heginbotham. This attorney was hired by a friend and I have never seen an attorney work so hard against their own client to HELP the attorney on the other side. Run as fast as you can from this firm. Most positive reviews come from when Mr. Harris was alive, he has since passed. The office staff is rude and not very helpful.

Report
Lane has been a blessing to my during this difficult time. He guided me through the long drawn out process of divorce. Helped me get 98% of what I wanted in my divorce. He was a great attorney. I will always recommend him and his firm.
