With the expertise of Chris and his legal assistant Tara, we were able to accomplish and complete the process of a difficult divorce. Both they and I remained positive so that there would be no negative side on the outcome. My partner and I are still friends and we understand the situation. With the guard rails up (the explanations of what the process is and how it works) and the honesty and expectations that were delivered to me, by Chris and staff, I think we have successfully completed another chapter in my life. Chris and his staff are professional, smart, savvy, and also understanding to the time constraints that sometimes pop up. I really feel that they took my thoughts and opinions seriously, and with that I was able to complete the process of this divorce. They went the extra yard at the end to make sure that all the documents that were completed were signed or signed correctly and dated correctly before returning me the information in a professional binder. A new start is in the works, but I know that I would have never gotten to this point where I am without the help and honesty of the Heritage Legal office. Cudos to every one over there. -Ellis L.

Chris Heritage and his paralegal Tara are absolutely the BEST and I cannot say enough good things. - Tammy H.
We recently retired to Palm Springs from Virginia. We had to have our wills/estate planning updated since gay marriage was not legal in VA when we first had the planning done in 2014. Chris Heritage and his firm took care of everything we needed. Chris went into great detail explaining why he structured our estate the way he did. We were able to do the entire project with two video conferences and a 30 minute meeting in his offices to sign off the documents. The entire process took 3 weeks. It was not easy choosing a lawyer, during a pandemic, after moving to a city where you don't know anyone to offer recommendations. Chris was the right choice and he was also able to explain the issues that gay married couples might encounter. - Kevin R.
We had a great experience with Heritage Legal from start to finish. Chris was patient, professional and answered all of our questions and his staff was efficient and helpful. I highly recommend Heritage Legal! - David M.

I am a retired lawyer and tend to be critical of other lawyers' work. Chris Heritage is very good at what he does. He explains to the client what his view of the estate plan appropriate for you. Then he leads you through the decisions that you need to make, gently prodding you to clarify your thinking. He also draws a decision tree as you proceed, so you can see the plan taking shape. My partner and I were impressed by ease and clarity of the process, which must be the result of extensive experience and a first class legal mind. We would recommend him without reservation to anyone seeking the services of an estate planning professional. - Thomas B.

Christopher and Heritage Legal are the premier firm that I highly recommend to anyone in need of securing their estate. After losing both parents and four adult siblings, I learned the importance of having an estate plan that secures everything that is important to me. I watched families split from not having an estate plan and also watched the courts make decisions that were not in the best interest of the family. Chris Heritage has been instrumental in my security and I have learned a lot from his expertise and insight. With the Covid 19 cases, I knew my plan needed to be updated. I now have a huge sense of relief. Thank you Chris Heritage for your support and guidance. - Gary S.

Great and very easy experience. I wanted to find an attorney that had a significant LGBTQ estate planning practice so I reached out to my friends, neighbors and former colleagues for referrals. I had seen Chris Heritage in some media lists but his name came back numerous times from those in my network -- with excellent recommendations including from a fellow estate planning attorney. So I felt confident in reaching out to Chris. He and his team were very responsive and quickly had our state documents ready to go. In the process he answered all of our questions and made practical suggestions on estate distribution options. You won't regret using Chris. Highly recommended. - Music G.

Thank you Chris and your staff. You made our transition to California feel permanent. Your help and clear approach to estate planning are amazing. I especially liked your skills and technique for drawing out the process on one sheet of paper. That diagram was crystal clear and brought my heart rate down to normal.
