Prepared, friendly, and super easy to work with.

I hired Sheena for a custody case. It went on for 2 years (due to court mishaps and covid). Every step of the way she was on the ball and knew exactly what needed to be done, all the paperwork and how to approach the judge. Not once has she ever made me feel like I was "just another case." Very down ...to earth as well so I felt very comfortable talking to her. Highly recommend! Thank you for everything!

Very satisfied with the service

Sheena represented me for my divorce and custody of my children. She was very friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable. She helped me to gain custody of my children as part of the divorce agreement. I would recommend to others 100%.

Finally Done

This was the final appearance in a long history of custody issues between my ex-husband and myself. I asked Atty. Hebert to ensure that everything would be handled with as little drama as possible. Atty. Burgess was assigned to my case. She was efficient but compassionate and thorough. I appreciate ...that Attys Hebert and Burgess understood that less was more in my case. I am happy to say I am done, finally.

GREAT – HONEST- ATTORNEY -AND – VERY GOOD

Going through a separation with someone who you have lived with, depended on and had been in a relationship for 10 years with is no easy task. Sheena and her firm were recommended to me by a friend who was going through a similar situation. I had the privilege of having Sheena as an attorney in my ...child custody / child support case . I will never use another attorney again! Sheena is trustworthy, honest and truly one of a kind. I also would like to comment on her staff. Throughout this long battle, her staff was fabulous and I’m so grateful to have them to answer all my questions. During the process, the entire time, I felt confident and knew the team had my best interest and they were going to do everything they could to reach my goal. Thankfully Sheena was able to get the other party to agree to our custody agreement including the guideline amount for child support! I would recommend Sheena and her team to family and friends!

I felt like I was her only client.......

I could not have asked for a better legal team than the one I was provided with at Hebert Law Offices. Sheena provided such personalized service that it felt like I was her only client. She was always available for questions and responded immediately taking the time to make sure I was 100% clear on... her answers. In court, she was organized, so knowledgeable, and fought hard for my children and I. I could not be happier and would recommend Sheena (Hebert Law Offices) in a heartbeat. I sincerely thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Although this process is never easy, I thoroughly enjoyed working with each member of the team. Sheena, Mandy, and the entire team are 100% dedicated to their clients and I'm so grateful for everything they have done for my family and I.
