Caring attorney

Chris is a great listener. He takes the time to understand your concerns. Chris is meticulous in studying pertinent documents and always relays his decision to the client before responding to opposing counsel. Chris always makes time to respond to text messages, phone calls, and emails. I would highl...y recommend this law firm.

Excellent!

Mr. Heberg handled a case for me. The first meeting we had to discuss my case was very helpful. He was professional, knowledgeable, and to the point. When I left, I knew what to expect, what he needed from me, the cost, and a way to reach him, if I needed him. What he didn’t tell me was how absolutel...y wonderful his paralegal, Meredith Lindenberg, is. Every time I spoke to Meredith, either by phone/email/text, or in person, she was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. She not only helped by doing her job but always went above and beyond to make sure I was calm and as relaxed as possible. She continuously assured me that they had everything handed, and it would be okay. Mr. Heberg and Ms Lindenberg make an amazing team, and I will absolutely return to them, if I am ever in need of an attorney. I can not recommend them enough!

Exceptional Attorney

I cannot overstate the confidence this Lawyer possesses. I had a case using a couple Attorneys where it just seemed like this is being dragged out for the them to profit. Not Chris! He came right in, and conquered the case immediately. He had the respect of the courts, judges, and other Atternony...'s that changed my case completely around. Chris not only understands the legal system tremendously, but, his experience and understanding of the overall system in Rhode Island made his competition submit. Chris saved me so much time and money on this case where I thought it would never end. I would challenge anyone who says there is better Lawyer out there than Chris.

Family court

This was my first time ever having to deal with court and a lawyer. Chris made the process unbelievable easy. He was a great help, could answer any questions I had, and got me the best outcome possible. I couldn't recommend him enough, his professionalism and attitude is second to none.

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!

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.
