Hired

I had hired a female lawyer for my complicated divorce and for over 6 months nothing was done, no communication at all,no paperwork records and agreed to have my ex husband attorney to go after my assets that was in the prenuptial agreement , i had to fired her. I heard chris from a friend of mi...ne, chris its fair, fighter and think for both parties. He is very organized and always call you back on the same dayif you have any questions. He get my divorce finalized within 7 months. I am grateful that he was willing to take my case from a different attorney. I do have make some compromises for child custody, as off right now its whats best for my child

Non Custodial Parent

Attorney Christopher Heberg accepted a probate/child visitation case for me to be able to see my son as well as settle child support issues. The case had been going on for approximately 2 years and seemed to be an impossible one to settle. The opposing side had an attorney that was one of the most di...fficult attorneys to work with in the state of Rhode Island. Chris had the legal knowledge and expertise to be able to move the case forward with a positive conclusion and deal with any inaccurate allegations made against me, his client. I would highly recommend Chris Heberg to everyone who needs an attorney in Rhode Island. Court dates and appearances were much less stressful and less anxiety provoking with Chris' knowledge in the court room on our side. Chris' expertise is highlighted when he is active in court and he gets the job done. Chris settled this case in less than a year and got me to where I wanted and needed to be with my son. While lawyer bills can be expensive, Chris Heberg was worth every cent - I promise you, you will not regret it. Do NOT look any further. Attorney Christopher Heberg is someone you can trust and rely on to settle your case and be your personal advocate. If the need arises I will be calling him again immediately.

Best attorney to handle unique cases

I used Chris for my divorce and Child custody. I had a little complication in serving my spouse. He has alternate options which nobody ( i discussed with few lawyers before I ended up with Chris) has provided me ever, which shows he is upto date and has so much experience handling unique cases. He h...elps in handling cases across countries and different culture and marriage laws. My case was over just in 2 sitting. He answers I used Chris for my divorce and Child custody.

Chris has been extremely extremely helpful throughout a highly contested and conflictual divorce for over 10 years and 2 custody battles. I am so grateful to have had him as my attorney. He clearly understands the emotional toll this has on his clients. I would highly recommend him. He gets the jo...b done. He is aggressive when the situation calls for it. He is very responsive to all phone calls and emails. Again, I would highly recommend him especially with high conflict and contested cases.

Chris is my hero!

I was trying to get a divorce and decided to use my friends brother as my attorney. That was my first mistake. We did make it to court but there were issues and that is the last time I actually talked to this attorney. I chased him for a year and a half to find out what was happening and he just wasn...'t returning any of my calls. I was frustrated and aggravated! I finally remembered that Chris had helped me with a custodial issue I had several years earlier. I called, gave all my information and got a call back from Chris the same day. I had an appointment within days where we sat down and I explained what had happened. I was worried that I wouldn't get anyone to pick up where the other guy left off but that wasn't a problem. Chris assured me that he would take care of this, and he did!! He chased down all the paperwork (I didn't have anything from the previous lawyer) and was able to get everything in order, filed and finalized so quickly!! Chris is a great guy who is easy to speak to and his office staff is great as well!!! Although I hope to never get divorced again, if I do I will definitely call Chris!!!

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.
