The best out there

It was such a pleasure working with attorney Christopher Heberg. He was genuine, on top of everything, easy to get in touch with, and able to work with my busy schedule. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a lawyer that can get the job done. He has great attention to detail and ...will thoroughly answer any question you have. I was incredibly impressed by how well he was able to help me navigate dealing with a sensitive situation. I highly recommend attorney Heberg if you want the job done in a masterful and winning way.

Thank you Chris!!

My experience with Chris was second to none. Even though my ex husband tried his best to complicate an already difficult situation, attorney Heberg made everything go as smoothly as possible. If it wasn't for the way Chris navigated and explained each step in the process, I would likely still be in... court. He ensured the best possible outcome for my family, focusing on keeping my daughter's needs at the forefront while remaining fair and honest. It's a bonus that he's easy to talk to! I felt confident and well informed every step of the way. Thank you Chris!!

A smooth, successful, and low-drama divorce, just as hoped!

After making the decision to divorce, I met with a few lawyers and the decision to hire Chris was an easy one. Upon meeting him I felt instantly at ease, like he genuinely cared, and I appreciated that he was respectful of the way that my ex-husband and I wanted to conduct our divorce — as non-conten...tiously as possible. Chris was responsive and efficient, helping me understand the process and guiding me through a successful filing and court hearing. I'm grateful to be on the other side of it, and have Chris to thank for making it a smooth and low-drama process. I met with him a couple months before making my final divorce decision, which was also helpful for my process; if you're in the market or even on the fence, reach out!

International divorce

I was seeking an international divorce when I found Chris on the internet, I gave him a call , he was very easy to talk to and quickly assured me that although we may have some hoops to jump though ( being international) ) he would get the job done. Everything went as smooth as I could have hoped for.... Thank you Chris for all your help.

Would give 0 stars if I could

Do not hire this attorney for any reason. Hired him to represent for child support review. The court case dragged on for a year and a half, in all fairness due to the pandemic but I was billed constantly for document review and other miscellaneous charges. He would go to court on my behalf and not co...mmunicate any changes on my case. When I shared with him my frustrations, he basically said fine and told his paralegal to drop me as a client. Despite being charged an arm and a leg, he would often tell me that I had to research on my own and get back to him. Awful, arrogant, greedy and incompetent in almost every way for my case. Their office is awful. His paralegal (or whatever she is) Is completely incompetent as well. Created way too many headaches as it seems she couldn't handle the simplest of tasks. Do not believe the reviews on Avvo or Google as they must be 100% fake.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
