Highly recommend Chris!

Chris is phenomenal! If you are seeking out an attorney that can handle out of state relocation, look no further. My case was tricky in some regards, but that did not intimidate Chris. He is very knowledgeable and experienced, and was able to answer the myriad of questions my family and I had for him... with ease throughout this whole process. Going through a divorce, custody, and relocation battle has been so stressful, but I am so happy that I chose Chris as my attorney to guide me through it all. He will fight for you. He truly saved my daughter and I, and changed the entire course of our future for the better. I am eternally grateful!

Knowledgeable and trustworthy

I contacted Christopher to handle my child support case as well as custody and from the moment we spoke I knew going to him would not be a mistake. Christopher is very knowledgeable and very professional. Always treated me with respect and showed that my case was as important to him as any other. He ...worked very hard at trying to make things right for me and my children and succeeded. I truly appreciate all the time he has spent on our case but most importantly I appreciate the communication he always had with me. Made sure I understood everything at every court date. Never did I have to wonder what was going on or why I was not hearing from him. THANK YOU CHRISTOPHER

Custody trial

Chris represented my son in a matter that ended up going to trial regarding custody of his 3 little girls. Chris knew exactly what he wanted to do, he showed a great deal of respect and seemed to care very much for the outcome being in our favor. His examination and cross examination was spot on. He ...really showed he was prepared and engaged in the process and got the result that we were hoping for. Very, very happy with the work he did and I would highly recommend him.

Absolute Rockstar

Chris Heberg is an absolute rockstar. He helped me successfully navigate a high-conflict divorce including custody. He is not intimidated by anyone, he’s a straight shooter and tells you what you need to hear even if it’s difficult. Access to Chris was readily available, he took the time for many ...after hour phone calls when necessary to put ease to the situation. I never once felt like I was just another case to him. He took time to understand my situation, listened to all of my fears and kept me focused on the big picture using the right mindset and strategy. It was very hard not to be intimidated by the day to day pressures and bullying that were coming from my ex, but with Chris and Meredith in my corner I felt like I was not alone and had the backing of a power house team that kept me strong. On top of being very professional, Chris has a great sense of humor which helps lighten the mood and put you at ease when you’re going through something like this. He is very respected by his colleagues and the court, and his action of law far surpasses anyone he is up against. I can’t thank Chris and Meredith enough for getting me through this difficult time in my life. I’m officially divorced and I couldn’t have asked for a better outcome.

Christopher Heberg Review

Christopher Heberg, was an absolute god send to myself and family when I needed guidance, patience, and a course of action during an unfortunate divorce and custody case. Life is not always sunshine and rainbows and when we are forced to make difficult decisions it helps having a top tier law expert ...and professional lifting you up when you need love and support. Mr. Heberg is a straight shooter and a brilliant lawyer that stands up for his clients with a tenacious charisma and knowledge of law raining superb over his adversaries. I highly recommend his firm. -Arthur Evans

  • 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.
