Derek B. Hebert
Biography
I am Derek B. Hebert, a dedicated family law attorney. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Louisiana State University in 2018, which strengthened my understanding of human behavior – a critical asset in navigating family law proceedings. In 2022, I earned a Juris Doctorate along with a Certificate of Civil Law Studies from Mississippi College School of Law, equipping me with a comprehensive legal framework to advocate effectively for my clients.
My commitment to understanding the full scope of each client’s situation is paramount. I believe that taking a holistic approach is essential for achieving not only legal success but also positive, long-term outcomes for families. This perspective ensures that all aspects of a case are considered, from emotional impacts to future well-being.
My background in psychology and law, coupled with my rigorous attention to detail, allows me to handle the complexities of family law with empathy and precision. Whether I am mediating divorce proceedings, negotiating child custody arrangements, or addressing sensitive domestic issues, I am committed to achieving resolutions that prioritize my clients’ needs, the needs of their children, and protect their rights.
