Family Court

Chris went above and beyond in representing me, Chris is extremely thorough in his work. This was my first time going through the family court process, In which he knew and was very clear, responsive and straightforward to all my questions. It is beyond reassuring to have an attorney, who has your ...best interest at hand and is available even after “9-5” I highly recommend using Chris for your family court needs. Great staff! Thank you again Chris and Meredith.

Stay far away from this law office!

Stay far away from this law office! I hired Attorney Chris Heberg in November 2018 for a family court matter. I meet with Mr. Heberg for the first time in November 2018 where I outlined all my requests which consisted of four separate issues. In January of 2019 he made a call to the attorney who rep...resents my ex in an attempt to handle the matters outside of court which was refused by his attorney. I was notified by Mr. Heberg's paralegal that we would be filing a motion to go to court. I did not have another meeting with Mr. Heberg until April 4, 2019 after much harassment and the meeting was required to review again what my issues were because he couldn't remember despite my putting in writing for him what I was looking to do. The same occurred again which resulted in a meeting on May 23, 2019 where we discussed once again what it was that I was looking to have done and I provided him in writing with my requests AGAIN. All three meetings consisted of me telling him over and over again what I was looking to do I even provided Mr Heberg with all the necessary documents so he had no research to do for my case. For example I provided all the estimates for my daughters school and then the actual bill when he took so long. When he called me in Sept or Oct. of 2019 to have another meeting I refused and told him to just file the motions that I requested. I was given a court date in November of 2019 but it was only for one issue not the four that I had requested be addressed. I requested that the date be canceled if all issues were not addressed in the filed motion as I did not want to miss multiple days of work and he was not doing as I requested. He finally answered my request two days prior to the court date! Since that time I have emailed him with no response. I made a request for a full refund I got a reply from him the same day stating he would look into things but have not heard anything from him since that day. I did receive an email from Mr. Heberg on 12/29/19 informing me that he would get me a bill for the services he claims he rendered but have not heard anything else since that time. This law office has wasted over a year of my life and I have nothing to show for it. I still have to go and file to take my ex to court and will be doing it on my own now thanks to the bad taste left in my mouth from this office and I still haven't gotten a refund and it's now Novemebr of 2020.

Passionate and Effective Lawyer.

I strongly recommend Attorney Chris Heberg. His knowledge and professionalism in law got me the results I was seeking. Attorney Heberg went above and beyond answering questions I had in a family matter and making me feel relaxed. Make a confident choice and you will be happy with the outcome.

Truly an advocate

Christopher holds an extremely high regard with me as he has guided me through the extremely difficult process of entering the family court in hope of reunification with my estranged son. His attention to detail, results, and all relationships involved was impressive. I want to thank him, his office..., and praise the positive result and outcome of my case. Thank you.

Excellent results

I was referred to Chris Heberg by my trusted Real Estate attorney. I called the office late in the afternoon and was welcomed to his office the next day as my situation was time sensitive. My former husband's company was terminating their pension early and it had only come to my attention right be...fore the deadline. My QDRO had to be re-written and approved by a judge, certified and entered. Chris and his Paralegal Meredith, swiftly jumped to action and got it done in record time. They saved my marital portion of a rather substantial pension. I would highly recommend Chris Heberg.

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.
