If a 10.0 score on Avvo.com wasn’t impressive enough, some of the feedback left for Stephen David Hebert by his clients should be more than enough to convince you of his merits. “Mr. Hebert did a fantastic job with my case. He is a great lawyer. Very detailed, great communication, and extremely professional. I don’t live in the state of Louisiana so he was able to represent me in the case. This was a major assistance to me in that I didn’t have to take off of work and make the trip. Every decision that was made towards my case Mr. Hebert contacted me, we discussed it, and proceeded forward. Thank you,” says one, with another adding the very praise-worthy, “I hired Mr. Hebert almost two years ago. My case got lost in court and re-appeared over a year after. Not only did he handled my case with great care but was always a phone or text away throughout all these years. He got my case dismissed even with me being out of state at the time. I most definitely recommend Mr. Hebert.”
