Posted by Joe | August 19, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Family

Chris does what we says!!!!!!!!!

I hired Chris to represent me when my ex took me back to court to increase the amount of money she receives from me. Chris was straight forward, honest, and patient when he explained everything. He is vert honest and gave us know faulse promises, but he did promise I would not get railroaded!!!! He... kept his promise. I could not have been happier with Christopher Heberg's work, and would not hesitate to hire him again........ All and all a great experience, Thank you Chris!

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

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.

Great Attorey

Attorney Heberg represented my husband and I relative to a personal injury matter. He assisted us in finding the right medical provider for our symptoms, he negotiated vigorously with the insurance company, and obtained the highest possible settlement. He always returned our telephone calls prompt...ly and answered every question we had. I would absolutely recommend Attorney Heberg to anyone having a legal issue.

Posted by Chris | November 16, 2014 | Child Support

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.
