Excellent lawyer, highly recommend

Chris has helped me with divorce, bankruptcy, collections, etc. He is confident in what he does and when you work with him, you will see why. He prepares you for what to expect during the timeline of your case and everything happens just as he describes it. Chris will take the time to speak with y...ou about your case and reassure you as to next steps. He is also quick to respond personally with any questions or issues that you contact him with. Chris is an excellent lawyer and I would highly recommend him.

Bankruptcy

I met Christopher 10 years ago when he was my son's attorney for child custody of my grandson. Which he did a magnificent job and my son got custody. In January I called him to discuss going bankrupt, Chapter 7. After years of trying to keep up with paying my bills and really never seeing them go do...wn due to interest rates I made the decision to file for bankruptcy. The process went well and last Thursday we finally went to Federal Court and I have been dismissed from paying my creditors. Christopher was there for me through this process. Also his Secretary walked me threw any questions that needed to be answered. I highly recommend Christopher! Thank you Cheri

Hire this Guy

I live in Massachusetts and needed to find a lawyer out of Rhode Island for my child support case. Well,as you know I hired Chris. People might ask why Chris, from the moment I met him he made me feel comfortable. He explained everything that he would get done...not do but get done. My court date was... a month away and during that time he kept in touch weekly and answered my calls when I had a question. Chris got me what I wanted, so Thankyou Chris. In closing, he is a great guy with enormous knowledge and experience with the court system.

During a very tough divorce, I couldn't have picked a better attorney

During my rather lengthy divorce, I needed a lawyer and a counselor. I needed a lawyer for all of the paperwork, expert knowledge of RI divorce laws and so on and so forth. I needed a counselor to help me remove feelings from the situation and help me see the logical side of things. Separating your f...eelings from a divorce (specially a very difficult one like mine) is very hard to do. Chris was there for me from day 1. He handled all the back and forth with the other attorney, he made sure I understood everything that was going on, he filed all of the motions, he encouraged me and my ex to try to workout our issues to come to a fair resolution. After the was an attorney change by my ex, he took it in stride and kept everything moving without delay. But the most important thing he did was keep my feelings of anger or my want for revenge out of the equation. Chris was always there to help me see the logical side. He always returned my phone calls and emails. Chris was my divorce lawyer and now I understand why the word "counselor" is used to identify lawyers because Chris was definitely my "counselor" too.

Attorney Heberg Never Fails

I have been working with attorney Heberg now for close to a year regarding child support, visitation and everything in between. Chris Heberg was not the first attorney I have used during my case, but I can honestly say he will be the last....he gets results!! I wish I found him sooner. He is always v...ery prompt with returning my phone calls or emails and no question is stupid, he will always send you in the right direction. I sit down with him, explain my feelings and expectations and he comes up with a plan to get me exactly what I want. Most importantly, he always continues to look at the bigger picture and keeps my daughter's best interest in mind.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
