- Situations involving a parent who may be deceased, incarcerated, incompetent, or whose rights have been terminated (or parents divorced).

Our Process
- Case Review to evaluate standing and the child’s best interests.

Client Testimonials
John and his office made the divorce process smooth and stress-free. Even though my now ex-husband and I were already in agreement, having their office handle everything on our behalf and make sure everything was properly filed and aligned with the court made a big difference. I really appreciated their efficiency and the peace of mind they provided throughout the process.
It was super quick & easy process, all questions I had were answered immediately as well.
Brandi, Amber, and John were amazing. They comforted me and stood by my side during very hard times. They got me what I wanted and were very communicative throughout the whole process!
Such an amazing team, I really recommend Brandi & John Herbig! , They are really honest and trustworthy. I would like every body have the same experience that I had. 🙏🏼🤍 Thanks to Miss Brandi for the great advice and help.

I honestly don’t know where to begin. After years of emotional exhaustion dealing with our case, finding John and his team was one of the best decisions we made.
From the very first consultation, Brandi was transparent, informative, and set realistic expectations about the process and how John approaches his cases. Mariah, the paralegal, was incredibly organized, responsive, and efficient with every document and detail along the way.
As for John, it’s hard to put into words how genuine and down to earth he is. He is not only an exceptional attorney but also someone who truly cares about his clients. One of the biggest concerns when hiring an attorney is wondering whether you’re spending too much money or if someone is simply telling you what you want to hear. John was the exact opposite. From day one, he was honest, straightforward, and gave us realistic expectations while creating a solid plan for our case.
Not only did he execute that plan, but he exceeded our expectations and helped us achieve more than we had hoped for during mediation. His experience, confidence, and ability to connect with people make him stand out from other attorneys.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed and unsure of who to hire, I can confidently say you won’t regret choosing John and his team. Thank you again for everything, John. We are truly grateful. Thank you!

We are extremely pleased with the way our attorney handled our family custody case during mediation. John was trustworthy, knowledgeable, and realistic throughout the entire process. His years of experience were evident in every step, and he provided clear guidance when we needed it most.
The other parent was extremely high-conflict, but John remained confident, professional, and well prepared. His calm approach and understanding of family law gave us peace of mind during a very stressful situation.
If you’re looking for an attorney who is experienced, honest, and truly advocates for his clients, I highly recommend John and his team. You won’t regret hiring them.

I just retained the Herbig law group, Brandi has been very kind and understanding throughout the consult process. She has made me feel more than understood in this very difficult situation - fast replies and very clear on the upcoming process. I like their client portal as well. Very easy to see upcoming steps, billings & general case information.
