Finished Divorce with Chris

My divorce took a little over a year to complete. For the most part it's a lot of waiting around and at the end there is a massive flurry of activity as you cross the finish line. I had searched the internet for an attorney, and chose Chris because of the number of positive reviews he had. And so ...here is my review. Chris was perfect for me. He had the right temperament no bs approach. He stuck to the facts, gave me the proper advice and told me how to proceed. I have dealt with several attorneys in my life, for different business reasons, and really liked working with Chris. Although there is an extremely high probability I will never get married again, if I do, and it goes south, I would definitely use Chris again. And I would recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a divorce attorney. I enjoyed his straight forward approach, his advice, and his insight. It made the process a lot better.

Divorce

Even thought I was not living in RI thru the whole process of my divorce, I never felt as though I had to be in RI to be heard and counseled with Chris. Chris is very knowledgeable and confident. I was impatient and just wanted it to be over and done with. I wasn't giving myself the credit I was d...ue from my 8 year marriage of sacrifices and contributions. Chris helped me to see this and in a result I gained what I deserved. I also wanted to mention that Meredith in the office was also very helpful, attentive and kind. I would definitely recommend Chris and team for anyone having to go thru a divorce.

Hire this Guy

I live in Massachusetts and needed to find a lawyer out of Rhode Island for my child support case. Well,as you know I hired Chris. People might ask why Chris, from the moment I met him he made me feel comfortable. He explained everything that he would get done...not do but get done. My court date was... a month away and during that time he kept in touch weekly and answered my calls when I had a question. Chris got me what I wanted, so Thankyou Chris. In closing, he is a great guy with enormous knowledge and experience with the court system.

If you want to get to the bottom of things, Chris is the "Discovery Expert". Your will never regret hiring Chris. Call him now!!

Christopher Heberg was my divorce attorney 8 years ago. My divorce included a horrible custody case of our only son that lasted for 2 years. Chris not only represented me but helped me get through the process every step of the way. He made every effort to answer all of my questions, was attentive and... supportive on the sensitivity of the case, and was available every time; always answering my calls way before 24 hrs. It is difficult to acknowledge the hard work that goes into preparing for a divorce case and as a client, I was recommended to Chris for his expertise in discovery and family law. I admit that I didn't always understand every thing about my divorce case. I wanted what I wanted and my emotions weren't always helping him. Chris made every effort to explain the details of the case in such a way that helped me get through it, emotionally as well. His patience earned my trust. I know that he will always be my attorney. On numerous occasions since my divorce, I have seeked his advice and will continue to do so because he is a wonderful lawyer who doesn't always get the credit he deserves simply because divorce cases include so much emotional stress. I trust Chris's opinion and knowledge about law wholeheartedly and recommend him as your attorney without reservation. My son is now 21 years old, and a junior in college. My ex husband and I have good communication because Chris stressed the importance of such for the benefit of the child

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.
