Divorce lawyer

I would not recommend Mr. Heberg to anyone. His billing practices were horrible. His communications skills even worse. At one point my ex make offers that he did not even pass to me to review. He was always late to court and would hand me a document to sign without even reviewing it with me or review...ing himself I think in some cases. He billed for items he never completed and he billed for emails he sent to me asking me for stuff he already had. Stopped taking my phone calls at one point to I had to let him go and finish my divorce on my own. He simply did not have my best interest at heart.

A great attorney to assist you through a difficult process!

Taking the first step toward divorce is not an easy task for anyone. There are always factors and extenuating circumstances that impact decisions and the final outcome. When I confided in a close friend that I was considering filing for divorce, he referred me to Chris Heberg. I remember walking in...to the office for my consultation feeling overwhelmed and nervous. Chris met me and immediately put me at ease. I felt strongly that I did not want to engage in warfare with my spouse and wanted to be fair. Chris listened to my situation and gently guided me in a direction that would ultimately respect my wishes while not compromising my future financial needs. Throughout the entire process, Chris was responsive, supportive, and provided me with outstanding legal advice. Although the dissolution of a marriage can be painful and confusing, having an attorney like Chris Heberg makes the process a bit easier. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is in need of an outstanding divorce lawyer. BLM, 2015

Phenomenal performance

From the very moment that I entered into Mr. Heberg's office I knew that I had come to the right place. Chris was knowledgeable and familiar with my type of case. He handled my divorce like a professional. He made sure that I understood every step that was being made on my behalf. His legal assistan...t Wendy was a breath of fresh air. Whenever I had a question she was there to answer and guide me through. After Wendy I had the help of Merideth who was just as helpful and attentive. To sum it all up: Thanks to Chris and his staff. I hope to be able to use your services in the future if needed.

Divorce

I recently went through a divorce. Christopher Heberg was my lawyer. He made the whole process very easy, quick and untroubled. Most of the other lawyers I observed in the courtroom was a mess. They didn't have correct information, very sloppy appearance,could have cared less for their clients, all a...round horrible. I am glad I went with Christopher Heberg, he is very professional and on point. I would recommend him to anyone who is going through a divorce,especially if you want it done right . Excellent lawyer.

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
