Divorce

I am huge on reviews. I found Chris by seeing how amazing his reviews were and how respected he is in family court. I thought it was only fair to share with others that they are well deserved and I am grateful I chose to call him to help me through this huge life changing event. Although divorce is n...ot easy to deal with on so many levels, Chris and Meredith (the paralegal) are incredible people to deal with. Not only do they get back to me almost instantly on phone or email, but they have a personal touch that doesn't make you feel like a number or a paycheck. They actually had the answers to the questions I had and it really made me feel comfortable knowing they had my back. My case involved many aspects including my children and they took care of everything. Thank you!!!

Thank you

It’s not in my nature to leave a review. However, in this instance, I was compelled to do so. Prior to the resolution of my case, I shared with my friends and relatives how pleased I was with my representation. Attorney Heberg demonstrated all the qualities I believe you look for as a client. He was... knowledgeable and there was a genuine caring and easiness about him that helped calm emotional situations. He listened to my concerns ( sometimes gripes) and offered practical advise based on his experience and expertise. He was forthright in his assessments ( not just what you want to hear)and above all, I was impressed with his common sense approach to litigating. He returned my phone calls and made me feel like I had a tremendous advocate fighting for me. His fees were more than reasonable. While I was joyous with my outcome, I would have had no reservations about recommending him if the outcome were different!

Satisfied Customer

Chris Heberg handled my divorce during the Covid 19 pandemic and I couldn't have asked for better representation. He is a level headed professional who always explained things plainly to ease my anxiety and so I understood everything I should consider in making the best decisions for me,

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.

Child custody

Being over seas on military orders is hard enough now add a child custody in the mix's I was getting ready to pull my hair Who would I get to represent me? Would they just take my money and not give them their all? I didn't want to lose any time with my daughter I was suck between a rock and a hard p...lace. At first I'm not going to lie I was scared but the point was I'm over seas I can't do nothing about it So I gave him a chance but choice I've made From the first court hearing he rocked it Chris even made sure to call me after EACH court hearing he wanted to make sure that I understood what was happening I got everything I asked for +more Chris god bless you bro

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.
