Recommend Fully

I recommend this practice fully with no reservations! Sheena Burgess represented me in my divorce at the last minute, after my previous attorney left me with no representation. Sheena skillfully negotiated, with intelligence and compassion, to get to a quick resolution. She took her time to explain f...ully in a way that I could understand whenever I had questions. She made herself available when needed, even when not previously scheduled. Jenna was responsive, understanding, and helpful during emergency circumstances when Sheena was occupied with previously scheduled responsibilities. I'm so glad to have had Sheena & Jenna as my team, and I can't recommend them enough!

Wasn’t impressed

She really did the bare minimum and couldn’t be bothered to address my concerns about my divorce and after. Id email the same things over and over and she seemed to just want to get paid and didn’t care about my issues. I chose to hire someone else to finish up and got it done in a fraction of the ti...me.

Excellent Attorney

Sheena is a powerful attorney. She is efficient, easy to talk to, very understanding, quick responding and did an amazing job preparing me for court. I highly recommend hiring her as your attorney for family needs, she gets the job done and goes over and above!

Wonderful Experience

Words cannot express how wonderful working with Sheena and the folks at Hebert Law has been. Despite my difficult personal situation in dealing with my divorce Sheena was kind, professional and very knowledgeable. Sheena helped me understand the process and led me step by step through the legal sys...tem. Sheena was very responsive and attentive, which has really meant a lot to me and made experiencing a divorce a bit easier. Sheena maintained excellent communication with me throughout the several months we worked together and handled communications with the other party in a timely manner. Sheena was always very calm, understanding and respectful. I never thought I would get divorced, but I am so grateful to have found a wonderful attorney and person in Sheena Burgess. I highly recommend Attorney Burgess.

Amazing

Although my divorce wasn't a complicated one (no assets, not contested) It was still my first divorce ever. It goes without saying it's an emotional crazy time, I have a young child, we were made homeless by this situation and I have absolutely no concept of how the law works. Sheena was amazing, kin...d, thoughtful, answered any and all questions, worked with me financially, was so sweet and still very thorough and knowledgeable. She never minimized what was happening, and responded to every call/email. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to take care of things. I got everything I wanted in the divorce and she held my hand along the way! Highly recommend!
