In October, 2009, Lane was retained by Fort Collins, Colorado residents Richard and Mayumi Heene, parents of the media-dubbed 'Balloon Boy', six-year-old Falcon Heene, in the wake of announced impending charges by Larimer County authorities, and possibly by federal authorities. Lane told the media he expected his clients to comply fully and "turn themselves in", and that he hoped to avoid the "spectacle and humiliation" of a situation in which the couple would be arrested in public and/or in front of their children.
