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!!!

Need a GREAT Divorce Lawyer look no further!

I highly recommend Chris Heberg. He's a no 'bullshit" attorney and often 'cut to the chase' and maximized our time strategizing before our court appearances. I was extremely impressed with his skills, organization, overwhelming knowledge, sincerity, and his awesome staff. He made me feel like I was ...the only client he was representing. Chris and/or his staff would return every phone call and every email in a timely manner no matter how minor the question. During my hearings he remained calm, professional, and stayed on point. Winning!!! I would without a doubt highly recommend him to all my friends going through a divorce. He enjoys what he does and that's what makes him the great attorney in my opinion. He has a passion and will help you reach a better and brighter future. I've heard many horror stories from others that have divorced. He literally made my divorce easy and I felt empowered by the whole process. Wonderful experience

Divorce lawyer

I would not recommend Mr. Heberg to anyone. His billing practices were horrible. His communications skills even worse. At one point my ex make offers that he did not even pass to me to review. He was always late to court and would hand me a document to sign without even reviewing it with me or review...ing himself I think in some cases. He billed for items he never completed and he billed for emails he sent to me asking me for stuff he already had. Stopped taking my phone calls at one point to I had to let him go and finish my divorce on my own. He simply did not have my best interest at heart.

A great attorney to assist you through a difficult process!

Taking the first step toward divorce is not an easy task for anyone. There are always factors and extenuating circumstances that impact decisions and the final outcome. When I confided in a close friend that I was considering filing for divorce, he referred me to Chris Heberg. I remember walking in...to the office for my consultation feeling overwhelmed and nervous. Chris met me and immediately put me at ease. I felt strongly that I did not want to engage in warfare with my spouse and wanted to be fair. Chris listened to my situation and gently guided me in a direction that would ultimately respect my wishes while not compromising my future financial needs. Throughout the entire process, Chris was responsive, supportive, and provided me with outstanding legal advice. Although the dissolution of a marriage can be painful and confusing, having an attorney like Chris Heberg makes the process a bit easier. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who is in need of an outstanding divorce lawyer. BLM, 2015

  • 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.
