Denis Robert Hebert

He doesn’t work in the client’s best interest. In fact, he makes the case more complicated on purpose so he can charge more and force the client to pay extra fees for work that shouldn’t even be needed. It’s clear he cares more about his own profit than about resolving the issue quickly or honestly. ...I deeply regret hiring him because he added unnecessary stress instead of helping. I do not recommend him to anyone and strongly advise others to be cautious.

I showed him my mother's will of 486 pages long and he reviewed it and gave some comments. I took the wil back home and left at my house but he felt compelled to rewrite the will for my sister and only in one page he gave everything to my sister. So she inherited $6 million dollars in assets. I tri...ed to call him and he told me not to contact him.

Denis Hebert is different. I have had the opportunity to work with many attorneys over my 45 years of being self employed. At first they seem to have compassion for my case and pledge their support. In the long run I have found that it is all about the money. Denis is compassionate but will always te...ll you "like it is" even though you may not like it. He never sold me pipe dreams so I could make more realistic decisions. He took the time to do proper research and has exceptional knowledge about real estate. Denis is fair and just.

Attorney Hebert was hired to handle a child custody issue in our divorce case. He was hired under the premise of a limited scope representation for the purpose of a specific child custody hearing that was to take place about a month from the time he took the case. We signed the attorney retainer an...d paid him for his services that were to be performed. We initially hired him because he had offered us a free initial consultation that actually ended up costing us $500 for him to actually review the documents. He seems very knowledgeable about family law, so we felt secure in the idea that he would represent my matter appropriately. That didn't turn out to be the case. I provided him a copy of the case file and all appropriate documents regarding the issue. He started working on my case and was informing me of updates via e-mail. At first he seemed positive about his ability to resolve the problem and that things would go amicably between the parties. Then at one point I had not received any response to him for about three days. I sent him e-mails asking him for an update and received nothing. Then about three days before the hearing was to take place, he sent me an e-mail indicating that he was substituting off of the case and that he was filing the substitution of attorney with the court that day. I could not believe that any reputable attorney would do such a thing. I tried calling him at his office and there was no answer. I left message after message and did not receive a response. The only thing that I have received from this attorney was the e-mail saying he was substituting off of the case. I have never received anything since then. He just disappeared. He didn't even bother to send me back my case file. He never even bothered to give me an explanation. I have not heard from him since. He actually had the nerve to send me a bill in the mail a couple of weeks after he substituted off of the case. Funny enough, even the commissioner on our case at Orange County Superior Court said that every now and then you run into a "bad seed", as he put it.
