It sure would be nice if I could be leaving a five-star rating here today. Unfortunately, not in my case. Instead, one star is one too many. I want to start by saying that I have nothing against Lane personally. He's probably a great person. For some people he may have represented them properly and kept them informed with the right amount of professionalism and due diligence we all expect to get from our attorney. He might have put forth the right amount of push forwardness that you needed him to give. He may have kept on top of things. He may have put in the due diligence to bring forth a fair outcome for them. They may be satisfied with his quality of performance. However, he didn't give me that level of professionalism. After 1 1/2 I had no choice but to accept the facts and seek counsel elsewhere. I hired Lane Heginbotham to represent me with my divorce. And of course, when he gave the consultation It all sounded great. If only I had known what a mistake, I was getting myself into. My divorce went nowhere. I was left feeling alone, misinformed, deceived and improperly represented. I trusted that I would be given a fair and equal representation by Lane. I was very wrong, and my time and money was wasted. As we all know those are rather important in everyone's lives. It became clear that my case wasn't important enough to him. Why file motions against the opposing side and then not follow through with them. Why were the temporary orders never followed through with? My "someday" ex-husband was allowed to disobey the standing order multiple times, make up his own rules, his counsel was allowed to be as leisure as they wanted with every request asked from them and nothing was done about it. I can't help but think that if I had behaved like such, I could rest assure the opposing counsel would have done something about it. That is most certain. Why make excuses for the opposing side and allow them to stall and drag out a divorce that should have been done and over with even with COVID, within a year or even much less. It's not like were Hollywood stars here. Lane would say he's working on this and that and I would wait and wait and wait... Just to find out that no progress had been made. "We're waiting to hear back from the opposing counsel" became an in every conversation sort of thing. I felt like asking if he was representing me or my husband. Then finally after hearing every excuse one can be told by their attorney as to why nothing was happening, it became obvious that my case didn't really matter. I was as transparent as I could be with Lane. I wanted to move forward with my divorce so I could move on with my life. I expected to be treated with dignity and respect. He didn't need to lead me along by telling me that the opposing counsel had dropped the ball when the truth be known he (Lane) dropped the ball! I trusted Lane to give my case as much effort and attention as he would any other case. Yet again the joke was on me just like in my marriage. Ha, Ha. This was not good attorney ethical standards by a long shot. I guess if you don't really understand or care about what your client is going through, how their whole life is hanging by a thread, then I guess it just doesn't really matter to you. Therefor you don't put in what's needed to get good reviews. How can a 50/50, non-contested, no minor children divorce be dragged out like this? Shouldn't there be a timeline of some kind. Can you just stall a divorce for as long as you so choose? Has our JUSTICE system turned into a JUST "US" system? Where's the justice here where's the humaneness in this. You may not be going through what I'm going through, but I hired you to be mindful and act like you are. That's what makes the difference between an attorney/lawyer who will represent you to the best of their ability and one who puts your case on the back burner for over a year. Good luck to those who choose to move forward with Lane Heginbotham @ Harris Law Office.

Do not hire this attorney. 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.

Lane did not fight for me at all. Lynn Libersky out argued him and Lane seemed scared of the other attorney. He got what he asked as far as payment, but did nothing to help me. Worthless.

This is the most incompetent law office I have EVER dealt with. It took Lane Heginbothem 20 Months and one court appearance before I fired him. Lets start from the beginning with after informing him that my wife said she would do anything possible to avoid the divorce he chose to simply "serve" her through certified mail. I gave him her address, her mothers address and her work address. Six months later he deemed it necessary to serve her via a process server. The assistant was rude and incompetent and could never give me an update or she always failed to update my file with information I would periodically provide her. I asked for temporary orders, never received one, I informed him that my child resided in another state but he told me it didn't matter that I should still put it in the petition, wrong move as I later found out. So fast forward to a year and 9 months later I finally got a court date after telling him I had no interest in wasting time and money "negotiating" because she was not being reasonable. I specifically asked if I would be court ordered to mediation, I was assured during a consultation the day prior to court that I would not be required to attend mediation and that if I wasn't satisfied after my day in court we could go from there, well clearly I was not satisfied! My case was ordered to mediation... 2 months later after I called numerous times, each time being charged for a simple "we are still working to coordinate a mediation date" I still had no mediation date. So today 9/29/2014 I called only to be informed that I owed Harris Law office $300 and $1500 before mediation could be scheduled. So this was the last straw, I fired him.
